Summer Transfers

That is the problem I alluded to in an earlier post, it isn’t that we haven’t spent, but that we haven’t improved our 11.
Of those players I think 4 (gio, tanguu, PEH and Reggie) were expected to be starters off the bat. Add to that of the players we lost at least 4 (super Jan, Erikson, rose and trip) were not only in our 11 but were some of our best players, so we have not only improved the 11, but also regressed by not replacing those players adequately.
It is however easier said than done when trying to improve an already quality squad, particularly with a gun shy owner.
Re Poch I think all of those excluding Sess were signed post his era which were then a knee jerk reaction when mr levy was left with no choice or reason (given the stadium loan) to spend.
Slightly related, but Luke Thomas seems a player!

News that moose has now come out with a statement about leaving!
Strange how few of our players are open about leaving, maybe it is a way to force levy to sell as it has been reported in the past the he has prevented exits of fringe players by excessive transfer fee demands.
We need to move players out to move on, so hopefully this summer is the time.

He's (James Justin) 3 months into recovery from an ACL injury

Where have you read that? He’s contracted until 2024 and I haven’t seen anything about him having a release clause. Would be an absolute no-brainer at that price — but it seems unlikely he’ll go that cheap.

The report was taken from De Telegraaf in Holland

His statement comes the day after Auriers. What's the chances of the third Amigo, NDombele following suit?
The 3 of them seem pretty pally & weren't they also part of the squad that (seemingly) refused to travel to the last match of the season?

Our clearout is looking quite promising so far. Rose and Gazzaniga released. Vinicius unlikely to be kept and big question marks over Bale. Villarreal will probably take up the option on Foyth. Aurier obviously off and Sissoko open to leaving. Lots of talk of Lamela looking to head back to Italy. Bergwijn linked with Ajax. Toby very likely to go if Poch rejoins. Carter-Vickers won't be short of offers. Few clubs linked with Sanchez as well. That's 12 players linked with exits (plus Kane obviously)
Probably a few there I would prefer to keep and few more not linked that I'd like to leave, but definitely some encouraging early signs.

Sissoko is the one to go though. I’ll actually celebrate the day he goes. I’ve never been like that about any player to play for us but I just can’t stand him. Jonnie Jackson pails into insignificance compared to him!

Can't disagree at all mate. I've got a feeling (based upon what we learned in the Amazon documentary) that the "influential" Sissoko could be a sizeable reason for some of the questionable attitudes we've seen within our squad.
Can't help but feel he's created a bit of a clique mentality.

I think he's been a good servant. He's not good enough, but not his fault he was brought in for such a huge fee. He's always done what he's been asked to, works hard for the team, never made an issue of things to the press etc. I also think there's a reason why manager after manager has played him. The fact that there's no better option isn't on him, but is damning of our chairman and our transfer dealings. I'll be happy to see him go, as it means we'll be upgrading in the midfield, but I won't be celebrating his departure on a personal level.
