Which players are Adullah planning to sell in the summer?

[Blade58]

as I see it:

Forget any big promotion push. Not going to happen. Austerity the order of the day.

He’ll sell the players that are in demand. I see two. Berge and Egan. Monies raised will all go to paying off all instalments owed on our signings such as Ramsdale, Berge and Brewster.

A few others will move on if there are clubs interested. Mousset, being one

Jags will leave and I expect Rodwell and Robinson to also leave

Norrington Davies will return from loan with Freeman

One or two academy lads promoted to first team squad

No money spent on signings just a couple of loans, with parachute payments going some way to paying off the mortgage taken out to buy the assets. I mean no on is expecting our owner to personally fund the loan are they? If that was going to happen, he’d have paid for the assets already not taken out a loan

New manager will be an out of work one. We’re already linked to numerous managers who haven’t got a job. Having said that, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was an overseas manager

Oh and there’s still no money to upgrade the training facilities. Expect a tarpaulin over the leaking roof

 

[Snowflake]

If we are goi g to lose 5 then bettis is lying saying we will keep the core together when will united learn

We can lose 5 and still keep the core together. We have a squad of 23 plus youngsters, so the two are not mutually exclusive

 

[Smirth]

Berge is the only big money signing we can sell and recoup what we invested on him. The rest have all depreciated in value so if he wants to sell any of McBurnie, Ramsdale or Brewster it will be at a loss which doesn't really seem sensible but then we don't know how hard up we are going to be.

Other players with some value in them are Baldock, Egan, O'Connell and Bogle. I wouldn't be surprised to see 3 of those sold, hopefully not both Baldock and Bogle as that would then be yet another position we'd need to sign a replacement for. My gut instinct is Baldock, Egan, Berge and maybe O'Connell will be sold, and I expect that none of them will go for a fee higher than £10m.

 

[Sean Thornton]

It’s like Witter on here.......

 

[JackSUFC]

Stick Mousset on the transfer list. A foreign club might take a punt on him.

 

[Bladesince59]

For me, it's as much looking at who want to wear the shirt. That (for me) includes Fleck, Ramsdale, McBurnie, Egan, O'Connell and Bogle. Not sure about Brewster or Berge but the rest, for me, are either not good enough or can take a hike.

 

[The Crab]

Stick Mousset on the transfer list. A foreign club might take a punt on him.

Maybe thats why Prince is buying other clubs.

Leave moose on the doorstep and leg it

 

[Roygbiv]

We need a clear out now Wilder has gone I think. I don't see some players hitting the levels they've hit in the last few years and most of them can seemingly only play in one system. Huge rebuilding job for the next manager who will get no honeymoon period or understanding from most fans

 

[Revolution]

I'd offer Burke for transfer as an experiment to see how dumb people are. If anyone bites we can try and dump Mousset on them as well.

 

[Bladesman]

I'd say Berge is the biggest cash cow potentially.

 

[blade too long]

im sure every blade fan on here could name 5 they would like to sell
as well as players theyd be upset if they go

when teams lose prem status its normally the highest paid
its not about who we sell but who remains

next managers vision of a team could be wholly different
might want midfielders who pass forward or other such radical changes

dont think the prince will pick anyone specifically as hes not a football man

we shall need a good championship team with some much needed fresh talent
theres plenty can go on this seasons form

I’d like to think Brewster would want to be in that group along with Furious. At the risk of ridicule I’d like to see Ampadu getting game time if we can get him back, Osborn and Bryan as decent back up in that league

How much is left on the mortgage and over what period is it to be paid back?

 

[HackeyBlade]

Don't know why people are saying that Baldock will get a move to another Premiership team, he's been fucking shite this season

 

[MalmoBlade]

Stick Mousset on the transfer list. A foreign club might take a punt on him.

CSKA Moscow apparently, but he wears gloves in England so he'll need to play in a parka and balaclava in Moscow

 

[MalmoBlade]

Bushy I might be miles wide of the mark here but I believe most if not all of the charges levied against the assets have already been settled. Like I said I'm not 100% sure on that but I do know at least some have been cleared

Maybe the one from January 12th this year is still open but all the ones from last Summer have been paid off

 

[Foody]

Providing it's for the right money I'd understand selling pretty much anyone. Despite what others are saying Brewster and McBurnie would be two I'd really want to keep hold of, as proven scorers at the level are needed regardless of the manager.

The rest of the team is built to play a particular system, if we aren't playing that way then some may be surplus to requirement.

It comes down to how much we reinvest.

 

[kevreedy]

I would get rid of Norwood and Lundstrom for a start.
This could be why Wilder left the building. that Prince will be dictating who goes and who to buy.
Boardroom interference.

 

[The Crab]

He'd look like Kenny from South Park

 

[Blade.com]

I'd say Berge is the biggest cash cow potentially.

Definitely, but is someone willing to pay up for him after a 8 month injury. Medical to pass and fitness to regain. Personally think he's with us at least a season.

The club entered into a new loan facility with Macquarie Bank last year secured against all PL revenues up to and including 2023 season.

It seems feasible. PA must have had the possibility that we could get relegated in his head, particularly after the post Covid drop off. The clubs that are hit hardest by relegation are the ones who don’t really expect it, who become absolutely dependent on the PL income with huge wage bills, loads of players who are on big money but just haven’t performed, like Stoke.

We apparently have relegation clauses in our contracts so the wage bill will reduce anyway. I’m not convinced they’ll be a fire sale. I do think there might be one or two who will be looking to get back to the PL and hoping for a move but if we don’t have to sell them, we’re at least in a better negotiation position.

 

[SilkyBlade]

Unlikely he’s highest earner after Jags c£40kpw and been reported no relegation clause in contract hence reason Wilder previously accepted we were just a stepping stone for him.

 

[MalmoBlade]

Maybe that's the charge registered in January then? Doesn't appear to be any others still outstanding

 

[Sheffsteel]

Just the best ones.

Agree....always makes me laugh how fans choose to sell their worse players.
The issue is that poor players or players out of form normally can’t be sold or are sold for a low price.

If you want to raise funds then you need to sell your better players.
One positive is we do have players with potential who are still young....so they will still have a decent value in the market.

 

[Aston max]

Moore, Stevens,lunny, Norwood, Rodwell, Bryan & Robinson all need to be gone
Jags & Billy player coaches
I suspect the Prince refused to authorise more spending in January so that CW could keep the core of the squad for an assault back to the prem at the first attempt
Everyone back fit plus a few astute signings (midfield and defensive players and not just make weights but challengers for first team places ) plus a mixture of the kids and I for one would start the season feeling confident
Definitely ampadu back if he will come

 

[SilkyBlade]

Yes effectively the loan from Macquarie was used to redeem all other legal charges in full as directed by the Courts. I think at the time is was reported to be c£45M to purchase the infrastructure.

 

[Sheffsteel]

Don't know why people are saying that Baldock will get a move to another Premiership team, he's been fucking shite this season

Last year almost all our fans got carried away.
We had a great team playing a system where players played to their strength so they looked better than heir real standard.
Last season Baldock only looked good because he has Basham covering his right back position and Basham going down the right wing to give him options.

People say Basham is great but he’s shown he’s very average at centre back...but he was made to look good because he worked in a back 3 with Egan covering his mistakes. The beauty of Uniteds system was players worked closely in pairs knowing exactly what to do.

The bottom line is most of United’s players.....on an individual level aren‘t PL...and won’t receive any interest UNLESS they are available on a free (like Lundstram).

 

[bypassblade]

Mousset is being sold to knackers yard and then turned into glue, that's what they used to do with old horses & donkeys wasn't it.

 

[Roygbiv]

Unlikely he’s highest earner after Jags c£40kpw and been reported no relegation clause in contract hence reason Wilder previously accepted we were just a stepping stone for him.

Are there still people out there who think Jags is our highest earner? If he is Wilder should have been fired as soon as he signed him
