You can’t feel sorry for players like Shim Mheuka and Zak Sturge who had that pathway to a first team place and then decided to move there
Younger players who start there will get very good coaching though, most know their chances of breaking through are very slim.
Adam was helping out coaching the England u21’s. Wouldn’t be a surprise if he was welcomed into the coaching team for the seniors if Potter takes charge, plus the odd bit of tv work.
Not really surprising that Stuttgart aren’t buying him. He made 13 appearances for them but most were under 20 minutes in length.
Still think a move to a Saudi club is the most likely for him.
Not just money but also the location. A lot of players would still prefer London over other UK cities.
Kudus is on a reported 90k a week which is doable for a club of our size.
was a permanent transfer to those lot in Croydon. He wanted a high wage and his agents wanted a decent chunk too on top.
His last contract put him on 100k a week so definitely out of our reach.
You don’t do it with one player. The chances of being able to find a ‘like for like’ and one that’s willing to come to us are slim.
Only way is a rejig of tactics and the addition of 2-3 players coming in
