Sell Heitinga, invest up front/wide

[pfim]

If you sell Heitinga you need to replace him with another buy, not a loan. Perhaps they do sell him but it won't be related to recruitment up front, I don't think.

We bought Heitinga for £6m. Since then he's gotten older and he's not set the world alight. I'm not sure why anybody thinks he'll cost more than £5m or so.

This is key. Absolute madness to leave us with 2 senior CBs and a loan until the summer.

Plus Arteta was on 80k, yak 55k, Bily 45k, Cahill 70k, Rodwell 50k ....... We have cut are budgets over the last two years with Shandy off the wage bill too Jonny is the second highest earner at the club

Doubt it.

I'm almost certain every single number in your posts is incorrect doddy, lid.

Was Rodwell on £50k? Bloody hell

was 30k went up 10 each year this season he started on 50

So if he'd stayed instead of going to City he'd be on 60k a week next year ? No chance mate.

Ball park figure mate we did have excess left over from the rodwell sale Rodwell 12m plus add onns Mirallas 5.75m

I think moyes got 'ballpark' half the rodwell money which I'd suggest has gone, we had enough for a loan (n'zonzi or the Belgium lad) so I'd imagine that's still there but it doesn't leave us much wiggle room. The problem with heitinga is he's a player on big dough who we don't want who's contract is ticking down , getting him out the door for decent money is as we've found out over the last year easier said than done unfortunately .

Hmmm.

I'm fairly sure this is all covered elsewhere.

But I'll throw this in.

Who is gonna buy Heitinga?!

Athletico Madrid, Spartak Moscow, Ajax, PSG, Fenerbache

 

[Joao Moutinho]

Also I wouldn't sign any of those players you listed in the OP

Athletico Madrid, Spartak Moscow, Ajax, PSG, Fenerbache

Hmm I'm not sure Athletico or PSG would want him.

In worried Ajax can't afford him.

Maybe Fernebache.

With the exception of Spartak all those teams are still in Europe and would want a player who isn't CL or EL tied. PSG could use the back up and Athletico need to sure up at the back

We'll see. I hope one of them do want him.
