I totally agree. As many have said already, part of the art of making progress medium to long term is to trade well. That means not only buying wisely but selling wisely too, and we're only going to get decent money for players we'd rather not sell.

Townsend has not been a massive success. Before Allardyce he was perhaps not a flop, but certainly not a hit. Since then he has settled down to produce consistent performances, but these have been based on exceptional work ethic more than anything. He rarely scores or creates, and whilst we'd be silly to sell him without an upgrade or at least a cheaper replacement lined up, losing him wouldn't kill us.

Very much agree with this.

Andros' decision making in the final third is poor. When Wilf was out of the team, we really needed him to step up and deliver more and he wasn't able to do that.

He's a decent player, and he might be one of the hardest workers in the squad, but he's certainly not irreplaceable.

 


Employee of the month is a good example of how someone can be both a winner and a loser at the same time.

If we have to raise funds to improve squad , then Andros would be the player for me to offload to release funds .Although played qell last season 20 mil would be sufficiant to replace and improve as his lack of goals was a concern .

selling andros would somewhat worry me if the replacements mooted are the likes of antonio from whu.

the sell to buy argument wouldnt really work as unless we are planningn on using a young player it would probably cost us £20m to replace him.

if it meant blooding kai-kai or a AWB i would love the idea

Yeah because kai-kai was amazing for league 1 Charlton last season. Couldn't get in there first team and when he did was poor.

in which case as per my point above there seems little point in selling andros unless we got a teady made appointment lined up for half what we get for him

Hopefully Parish has learnt from the business decisions to sell Jedinak and to an extent, Murray without replacements or a plan apart from several meh forwards. But Pardew played his part there a lot too.

We gonna buy Antonio from West Ham I reckon for around 7 mil cheaper than why we’ll sell Andros for - and he will replace Andros

That 7 mill will then in effect help us buy that third back up pacey winger we greatly needed when wilf got injured

It is on FM 2018 if you add a player to a team with players you want. Simply do an exchange of players, easy peasy. Either that or get the editor....

 


If you come to a fork in the road, take it.

Antonio is another crock. Andros stayed fit pretty well all season plus hes better than Antonio anyway

Sell Townsend & buy a sick note from WHU
Or, sell Townsend & get Bolasie back … another sick note
Then let Cabaye go & get an overpriced sick note from Arsenal i.e. Wilshere
& finally sell Benteke & get raped by Liverpool again in the transfer market by securing the services Danny Inges … who again has an exemplary injury record …

Is it me, or is there a trend emerging!

The only trend I can see is paper talk & assumptions.
