Yup, don’t like it. I get we need pure profits but selling youngsters to fund external signings was marina s thing . At least we are only buying other, more talented young players mostly but Hall I think is probably already better than Cucurella who will play in his stead. Terrible business .

yeh , cucarella is terrible. Should just get rid of him however possible. Hall and Maatsen have big potential, chilwell is very ordinary and always injured

Maatsen is an actual fullback. So if we can somehow shift Cucu it should be him that stays, imo. 

[Vegetable 830]

Interesting thing is that given how young the new team is, it will be even harder for our own youth to make it into first team in coming years. Cucu's and Sterling's spots are next to open, but it may take while as they are hard to sell. Silva? Backline is already full anyway. Young, expensive players on long contracts may be hard to shift, so even basic upgrades in the squad may prove difficult. It's possible we will see very little transfer activity from us for a while (partly to replenish FFP maybe).

Hall was like 17 when he started playing for our senior team at left back. Not like he has a career of playing midfield , his position can easily change. He looked much worse in midfield anyway

Exactly . LB will always be the realistic position to break into our first team. We have 3 in the u23 rn. Surely Hall should be above them in the pecking order. His crossing is also to good for him to play midfield

Potch must feel Maatsens ceiling is higher.

[TheHulk 1,855]

Fucking rat we will never get rid of him.

[Pizy 18,368]

Just terminate his contract and let him walk like we did for Auba.

[Vegetable 830]

What does it even mean? If he fails the medical, doesn't it mean he should probably cease playing football for his own good? If his health if not good enough for Saudi and Turkey, PL may be literal threat to him then.

Only one thing to do with Ziyech:

If he is medically unfit we should be able to fire him. An employee who is unfit to work without a perspective of improvement can have bis working contract terminated even here in Germany were employee protection is super strong. 

[Gundalf 804]

Earning 5 million pounds for not being fit. We should sue him and keep his salary.

Maybe that's why he didn't try last couple of years. He just couldn't 😂

On a serious note, he fails medicals because they think his knee is in danger of serious injury but that sounds arbitrary.

we are basically handing him out for free. Don't think anyone would hesitate snapping up the free lunch if there were not actual concerns. No one will ensure him without a proper medical certificate. The doctors are just doing their job. He is a cripple, simple as.
