Now the season is done and dusted let's see what's in store for the in's and out's of our club ahead of next season . I'll kick off with this rumour
Callum Robinson is on Wrexham's radar
if true 5 million in todays market ?
I saw Yamal's agent in the old Arcade yesterday.
Fingers crossed 🤞
Yeah, we're not getting anywhere like 5m for Robinson.
I've only seen the highlights of yesterday's game. I couldn't bring myself to sit through 90 minutes, knowing it would be the 'same-old-same-old'.
One thing is apparent, if we have any ambition of getting out of League One, and that is Horvath should never put on a City shirt ever again... truly shocking player!
Time to say goodbye to Ralls, get a captain who's going to be an ever-present and a leader as well.
Am I the only one who thinks although there'll be a few outs in the close season there won't be many coming in. I'm also not getting the love in at the moment with Ashford but I suppose he needs time.
Let's be honest, we could sell the whole squad and not get near 5 million for the lot. We didn't relegated rock bottom because of poor managers alone. We got relegated because the players we have are Division 1 and below standard. We have absolutely no quality anywhere on the pitch, none at all.
Pug if that figure being banded about is true I would think it was a complete package type of money with add on's etc
Lets take the Mcguiness situation last year . We sold him to Luton many people say the fee was around 10 million that is the total package with add on's etc so 5 million for Robinson sounds plausible
The club will be losing close on 10 million quid in revenue next season so we will need to sell a few players to plug the gap
Think we will get a few offers for Robertson , Horvath , Lawlow and Colwill this summer too
2 million for Robinson is fair. A million is too little for a striker that got 12 goals this season. I know we're not in a position to be driving a hard bargain, but anything lower than 2 million is getting mugged. If we can get higher, like 3 mil, I think that's great for a player that's hit his peak.
According to WOL Cardiff have been linked with a transfer swoop for QPR midfielder Lorent Talla
The Kosovo international has made just one appearance for QPR's first team and has registered three assists in six outings for the under-21s team, with injury having hampered his progress in west London to date.
Who the feck is offering anything for Ethan Horvath? Hasn't been a regular goalie for years and statistically and by the eye test one of the worst goalies in the entire Championship last year. Robertson and Colwill also shown nothing to show they are Championship regulars for a top half side.
If we can get any of Horvarth , Chambers , Willock out on free transfers we are doing great business.
Getting money for any would be right up there with us getting a fee for Steve McClean .
I cant see us getting any of them off the wage bill.
Thank feck El Ghazi wasn't given a contract.
We only bought him 3 seasons ago for £1.75mill can't see a world where, other than a free transfer he leaves us. Same with Willock, Chambers, Howarth & Alnwick
The red card at Norwich was kind of the straw that broke it for me regarding Chambers. I love him as a CDM, but the weekly payment is just too high for League One, and he's genuinely awful in the CB role. Begrudgingly, I would sell to solve the wages situation.
I'm not ready to write off Talla straight away. We must not forget that we're a League One team now, we're going to have less viable options to pick from. I'd give him a chance.
well that's a matter of opinion regarding Horvath but still got 2 years to run on his contract and has played champions league and Europa League football in his career . Probably on a decent wage too
Been talk of a current championship side interested .
My personnel opinion is we should look elsewhere for league 1 anyway for a new goalkeeper
I still rate Alnwick honestly, criminally underrated and rarely has a bad game. But yes, we do need a Horvath replacement, just for the wages alone.
Hang on... you want to get rid of a player who you love when he's playing in our midfield?
Chambers' performances were so bad at the heart of our defence that, when he was switched to midfield, it was almost like a case of 'things couldn't get any worse'.
He reaches the heights of mediocrity at best in midfield. What are his strengths as a player, I genuinely don't know?
Got to agree with this, in an ideal world wed be able to off load a few of our current squad and save the wages
Usually youd ask who will buy them, with our performance this last season, youd be asking who wants them??
We didnt have enough battlers, enough players with a bit of fight in them and in truth enough players who actually gave a shinny shite!!
Our recruiting off late has been shocking with one or two notable exceptions
Will these guys care? Will they bollocks
No stomach for a fight, no interest in trying to improve themselves and no professional pride
There might be a few of them on the phone to their agents to get a move away, good luck with that
Collectively they are a shambolic group
Imho
Any player with a proven goal-scoring record is worth money. Robinson and Salech would both fetch good money, though 5m for Robbo might be stretching it a bit. If it was me, I'd look at bids for Robinson, but try to keep Salech.
Chambers has had fantastic presence and build-up play in the CDM role, it's a role that plays more to his strengths as a player. He was consistently getting among our top 3 rated players on the pitch every game in the role.
The problem is wages. I've seen anywhere from 33k to 45k speculated, and in League One, that's insane money. Given we obviously need to cut costs next season, that's going to have to be one of the decisions we make.
