Understand Cardiff, Middlesbrough, Millwall & Forest are all interested in Wyke - who is out of contract in June #SAFC
Absolutely agree.
If we had a creative man in midfield and Ralls was played in his proper position, he could be a part of a very good team.As he has been in the past.
But he is obviously a player whom managers think can "fill-in" in different positions, and when that has been tried the team has suffered for it and so has his reputation.
He is not a number 10, he can't play out wide, he's not a left wing-back. He's a very straightforward central midfielder. We need to keep him.
And the one we want to sell least (Ralls) is the player other teams will be most interested in.
There's a chance we keep all four because all are senior players who can help us pick up points in what will probably be a tough transition season and revamp midfield via contracts expiring instead, but if we're looking to change middle of the pitch next year then Ralls is most likely to be sold.
This summer and next summer are going to be fascinating but both will be difficult to judge until end of the window.

Manager Mick McCarthy says Cardiff City will have to sell players before they pay for any new signings this summer.
He seems to be a jack of all trades and lost a yard of pace for someone who was already quite slow.
He only works in a 4-4-2 and the rest of the players do not suit that.
He sticks out like a sore thumb and he's not good enough to build the team around.
I think Gunnarsson covered a lot of his flaws
I agree with all of that but if Vinnie is told someone is worth a punt he could easily put his hand in his pocket, its happened before when everyone was saying we had no money to spend.
I personally have no idea what the operating budget of CCFC is nor how it compares to say Derby or Middlesbrough. I'm glad you have the info and find it so easy to compare. It saves me doing it.
Yep, and the annual budget for similar clubs in this division who don't receive parachute payments I'm pretty sure is typically 25-30 million. So having a £35 million hole suddenly appear in the finances, not even including the effects of Covid 19 on our revenue this season surely has to have a quite drastic effect.
I see Alex Mowatt is out of contract in the summer. He's be a great addition to our midfield.
Sell moore, vaulks, glatzel, morrison to raise money.
Buy Waghorn, Rhodes, Mowatt and a right back
