Apparently we’re in for £4m-rated Jerry Yates of Blackpool. 14 league goals for a relegated side is a good return and at 26, we’d be getting a player approaching their peak.
I wonder if this is the kind of player we’d go for whether we go up or not. The difference being a replacement or partner for Gyokeres.
If true, a replacement for Walker or Godden
Might be a bit of a challenge given Walker's contract is up!Hopefully we’d be able to recoup some money for Godden and Walker if we got promoted.
If we get promoted, he’d make a fine addition as a second striker. In the Championship, he’s likely be a first choice option.
Hopefully we’d be able to recoup some money for Godden and Walker if we got promoted. Perhaps £1m or £2m optimistically for both of them. Both players would make really good L1 strikers for a team aspiring for promotion.
I’d keep Godden if we went up. He’s a classy finisher and see no reason why he wouldn’t score goals a division higher. He’s been doing a job for the team these last few weeks, what with our injuries to key attacking midfielders. Walker will go as will McGuire.If we get promoted, he’d make a fine addition as a second striker. In the Championship, he’s likely be a first choice option.

If we went up I would be happy with Vik, Yates, and Godden.
I think we may keep Walker because he will have some resale value. Assuming you’re right, £500k is the ceiling - £750k if we’re lucky.Given one of them will be a free agent I doubt you’d get north of £500k
We need 3 good strikers to compete in my view. Yates, Godden and another would suffice in the Championship. For premier league we’d need another. I don’t think Godden could make an impact physically and we probably won’t be able to have enough possession to get Godden in the game if we went up.I’d keep Godden if we went up.

Is it a skill game in the Prem? Just wondering if the off-ball movement is something to think about? In which case Godden would be ok.I think we may keep Walker because he will have some resale value. Assuming you’re right, £500k is the ceiling - £750k if we’re lucky.

Overall, I’d sell up if we got promoted.
How do we keep him without a contract?I think we may keep Walker because he will have some resale value. Assuming you’re right, £500k is the ceiling - £750k if we’re lucky
All good players and imo would be good additions to our squad BUT wages ? I don’t know what their individual deals at MU are but take fallen hero Mason Greenwood who United are looking to loan out I’ve read he is apparently on £75k a week. Getting young stars from the top premier clubs it’s high wages and they are a bit of a risk.Dean Henderson, Brandon Williams and Elanga being let go at United. Might be worth going for if we get promoted
Unfortunately it’s why parachute payments are a necessary evil. We’re gonna have to start paying these players top whack.All good players and imo would be good additions to our squad BUT wages ?

He’s unlikely to get a brilliant contract elsewhere given his results over the last couple of years.How do we keep him without a contract?
I agree wrt Gus and Vik.Unfortunately it’s why parachute payments are a necessary evil. We’re gonna have to start paying these players top whack.
it’s why it’s not cut and dry whether Hamer and Gyokeres stay. They’re instantly going to be asking £50k plus on their new contracts - if we don’t pay it someone else (west ham and Wolves) will
anyone we sign will effectively on 50k as a minimum id imagine
What’s 40/k a week?If we go up. we don't have to let the likes of Gus' agent screw us totally with wages. We still have a year of his contract left, and let's say we upped his salary to 35k/40k a week, if he turned it down we could still keep him, and he'd remain on lower wages (which would be mad from his point of view, as he could pick up a career ending injury) We could afford to play a bit more hardball with the guaranteed PL money offsetting the loss of a transfer fee 12 months later.
If Gyokeres and Hamer don’t sign they’ll be sold. Madness too let - 50-60m in transfers goIf we go up. we don't have to let the likes of Gus' agent screw us totally with wages.

If we are successful Saturday I’m sure both Vik & Hamer will stay as they did at the January window, but things happen that can change things clubs with deeper pockets get interested then there’s the likes of Brentford trying to cover their Ivan Toney loss. And top foreign clubs sniffing I think that’s the biggest danger to be honest wages are just as big and tax is lower.

The good thing is we control that and any sale price both still under contract although only a risky 12 months, a lot hinges on what happens Saturday.Worst case scenario is they still go but even in that case the fees we would get would be bigger than as a Championship club.
Gyokeres yes - Hamer, depends what other clubs are offering. Like I said, if we offered double or more wages and his agent wants more, I think they'd change position if we made it clear we weren't going to sell him. We wouldn't be being held 'over the barrel' in the same way, as we'd have the PL money which would dwarf anything else. Hamer could be the difference between staying up or not, plus Hamer / agent will see it's madness not to have a shed load of extra money in his wages whilst he is still with us.If Gyokeres and Hamer don’t sign they’ll be sold. Madness too let - 50-60m in transfers go
Not accepting losing players to Brentford if we're in the same division. They can suck it.If we are successful Saturday I’m sure both Vik & Hamer will stay as they did at the January window, but things happen that can change things clubs with deeper pockets get interested then there’s the likes of Brentford trying to cover their Ivan Toney loss.

You have to speculate to accumulate, if we go up the priority before any incoming transfers has to be getting these two signed up to long term deals (with some kind of relegation clause). Then we should be looking at getting McNally signed from Burnley, you’d like Doyle back but I think that will only be on loan.If Gyokeres and Hamer don’t sign they’ll be sold.

Do we have anybody scouting in Europe? That might be our weaknessIf we go up, I can see us signing Continental players we have never heard of, for a fraction of the price we would pay for domestic ones.
Yeh Villa are a touch bigger than Brentford tbf.Norwich lost Buendia to Villa for 30 mill after promotion
You've just spent 90% of our PL budget !!James Maddison please - come back home.
I heard our scout was a fella who goes by the name Gustavo…Do we have anybody scouting in Europe? That might be our weakness
Yes, that what I thought!I heard our scout was a fella who goes by the name Gustavo…
We haven’t released our retained list so we may offer new terms.How do we keep him without a contract?
Godden’s asset is his finishing so if we can get the ball to him in the box, he will add value.Is it a skill game in the Prem? Just wondering if the off-ball movement is something to think about? In which case Godden would be ok.
