Very impressed with Wharton today.
My statement was that the money from the cup runs this season would likely make up for the reduced PL prize money this season.I guess it depends whether we spent ahead of getting the revenues. That money might be gone and we might end up budgeting for 40-45 games after a 16th place finish. The one thing we can be confident on is that our club won't take unnecessary risks financially. Nor should they.
If we don't win the EL, then it might help us to make some courageous decisions on the squad in a mini-rebuild. I think it was #Raziel that come to about £130m of player sales a couple of days back. If we double down on the core 17 or 18 there is plenty of scope for improvement with a couple of key additions.
what about dragusin
"Romero has already said yes to the red and whites"
I don't think we need to replace him.
Danso goes to first choice with Vuskovic as back up.
There has been talk of Davies getting another year, so he would be VDV's back up. He would be the one I look to move out and bring in someone else though, or even to compete with Davies
what about dragusin
Forgot about him.
Still not convinced, but 5 CBs of vdv, danso, dragusin, Vuskovic and Davies/another isn't bad.
I think Vuskovic will quickly become first choice back up
In a more conventional defence he'll probably look better. He was getting great reviews before he came.
Phillips hasn't been mentioned. Stoke fans are raving about him.
