Great Dane
Player Valuation: £15m
http://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/34874-Summer-hopes
My original thread in which people thought I was either crazy or on some liquid thing that helps thing stick together. Unfortunately I don't think I was wrong at all, we need to sell to get the control of our club back. Deadwood, non-performers and even major players need to be shifted in order to generate funds.
We really need to act now while some of the players still have a value and before the bank comes in and makes us into a Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday or Portsmouth.
Here is the list from my original thread:
Out:
Heitinga £8 m.
Bilyaletdinov £6 m.
Arteta £10 m.
Fellaini £25 m.
Rodwell £25 m.
Neville £0.5 m. (he is the symbol of the Moyes era, and is no longer worth anything on the playing field, he has a role as captain and in the dressingroom, but can we really afford for him to take up a place in the starting 11 given his age and ability?)
Yakubu, Yobo and Vaughan will be gone as well, perhaps for a combined fee of £8 m.
Total income: about £80 m.
In:
James MacArthur - Wigan
James McCarthy - Wigan
James Morrisson - WBA
Graeme Dorrans - WBA
Joey Barton - Newcastle
Connor Wickham - Ipswich
Alan King - Leicester
Blood:
Duffy
Baxter
Barkley
Of course Wickham has gone to Sunderland, and maybe Rodwell will only generate around £15 m., and Yobo, Yakubu and Vaughan will probarbly only generate around £6 m. Someone like Lewis Holtby would also be good, and his fee would not be inflated by the English passport and PL experience fees that amount to 50% of some of the transfer fees going around.
But we really need to get control back to the club. Maybe with most of the debt cleared investors would also come.
