yoda's brother Posted May 18, 2023 Posted May 18, 2023 there's a lot of up and coming young stars who will be chasing better contracts or they will be off to pastures new after that post on wages. Quote
Dreams of 1995 Posted May 18, 2023 Posted May 18, 2023 Dom Hyam should be able to step into this role as a leader with no issue. With over 200 apps across all levels of the EFL you'd say he has enough experience to lead that defence Did like Ayala though. Always felt safer when defending a corner with him on the pitch Quote
RoverCanada Posted May 18, 2023 Posted May 18, 2023 Just a shame he wasn't at least available as a 3rd CB down the stretch instead of Wharton (don't mean to pile on Scott. I'm hopeful he'll rebound next year). It was only the last few minutes, but I'm pretty sure he cleared the ball from our box with authority at least a couple times when he came on at the end against Millwall. I suspect he would've been able to help shepherd us to wins against PNE and Coventry, if only able to come on for the last 20mins or so... Bah. A quality, 'traditional' CB, just a shame about the injuries. But there is reason for optimism at CB despite his departure! 1 Quote

If that's accurate, letting Dack, Ayala, and Diaz go has freed up ~20% of the current wage bill. If we're planning to sell Kaminski, there is clearly an effort to free up wages via the highest earners. Venus probably just handed out whatever was asked for. I've got a bit more faith in the current lot being more shrewd with the budget. Quote

His fitness record was known before he arrived and it carried on as per. 54 appearances over 3 Championship seasons (potentially 138 games). Not good enough. Quote

I've got a bit more faith in the current lot being more shrewd with the budget. I guess we'll see. By the sounds of it we were paying too much for Hirst (although admittedly you could argue anything above 0 was too much) and by the sounds of it we were going to pay a significant amount for O'Brien for six months as well. Would have been a fantastic get, but a lot of money for a position that was second priority to a striker. Nonetheless, it's a big summer for the recruitment team and it'll be a chance for them to prove that January was an aberration rather than the standard. We did some good deals in the summer with the likes of Hyam and Szmodics, so have to hope there's more of that on the way - preferably with the quality coming specifically in attack, seeing as we've let two of our main historical sources of goals leave.
