[Football] Players available this summer - would we?

[Hiheidi]

I hope we don’t touch Partey with a barge pole

Surely he'd be a good fit for Marseille!

 

[Brian Munich]

I think we'll activate Lamptey's one-year extension. He's been great this season. Unfortunate to get another injury, but it doesn't sound like it's related to the long-term one he had a few seasons ago.

 

[Hovegull]

Will Lamptey want to stay though?

Will Lamptey want to stay though?

Until he got his suspension, he was playing some of the best and most consistent football in his time here. He certainly looked happy.

 

[Pavilionaire]

I hope he stays at Spuds....keeps giving the ball away and getting lost in matches

The two issues with Bissouma are his off-field antics and his on-field loss of form.

He will be in his final year of contract in July, Ange has lost patience, no contract extension has been offered, but he can leave on a free in 2026 so Levy will definitely look to cash in this summer.

We've sold Moder, Milner is done, there's no one else that can physically do the DM job of Baleba. I think there's still a good player in there, and can see Potter and Moyes still being interested, as well as Leeds.

It would be fascinating to see if playing alongside Baleba under Hurzeler would re-energise him and I would genuinely love to see those playing together, especially as it would enable Baleba to get further forward into the attacking half. And if we make it into Europe then having another physical DM for the long campaign is essential.

 

[Hovegull]

The Milner role will be replicated I guess, but I’m not sure who with and it’s an expensive role for little gameplay. Ashley Young is a year older than Milner and has still put in regular performances for Everton. Clearly still has a place in the team. Milner has played in 3 games this season.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Walker-Peters is out of contract I believe. He'd be a good Lamprey replacement. I was thinking that if we had a good offer for Bart, would we look at Ramsdale who I'm sure will have a decent relegation release clause.

Hope not. Ramsdale is clearly a twat.

 

[Beanstalk]

I like Angel Gomes , think he is a really good player, capable of running a match

Maybe but he's reportedly just rejected a £100k a week deal and has only made five appearances for Lille since the start of December. Hardly someone who is going to come in and tear up our already bloated midfield.

 

[Hiheidi]

Milner has played in 3 games this season.

Always makes me smile that he played all four matches during pre season, and it looks like he won't beat that figure this season.

 

[Beanstalk]

I hope we don’t touch Partey with a barge pole

On a completely unrelated note, which countries don't have an extradition treaty with the UK? Saudi Arabia comes to mind.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

I suspect Boscagli is still on the list, Gomes would be a great signing but I expect he will go to one of the 'big six' for silly wages to fill their homegrown quota. David would be good but again, I suspect clubs that pay bigger wages than us will get him.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if Chelsea offered us Caicedo-money for Baleba...

Think it will be City

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

I have no thoughts on any out of contract players other than ....

We're likely to leave this market to others
We're generally likely to have a quieter summer
The players we do sign, 99% won't have heard of them
They'll have an unblemished career injury record which will soon disappear when they go through the door at Lancing

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Think it will be City

Yeh, City and Liverpool the big threats this summer.

Less worried about Chelsea and Man U

 

[Biscuit]

We've sold Moder, Milner is done, there's no one else that can physically do the DM job of Baleba.

Weiffer could step in, and we'll have Malick Yalcouyé next season as well.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Walker-Peters is out of contract I believe. He'd be a good Lamprey replacement. I was thinking that if we had a good offer for Bart, would we look at Ramsdale who I'm sure will have a decent relegation release clause.

I think we are pretty much sorted for keepers for the next 20 years as it stands.

 

[Biscuit]

Pretty sure we were in for Boscagli in the summer - I think we offered £8 million which was rejected?

If he's now available on a free, I could see us snapping him up.

 

[Braggfan]

I will be interested to see what happens to Bissouma.

I could see Potter trying to bring him to West Ham, or maybe Moyes at Everton

 

[Lurchy]

Roony Bardghji’s contract is also up… and we’ve had historical interest.

 

[Brian Munich]

The main issue with potential return of Biss: Who gets the Tequila song? If it means we'd have to sell Mitoma to accomodate, then I'm out.

 

[Triggaaar]

I'd take Virgil van Dijk and Mo Salah
