Happy to pick up his 100k a week pay check and not play. Can't say I blame him either. He'd be lucky to earn half that somewhere else, not helpful for us though.

Remember when people genuinely thought we'd be getting £15m for him? People laughed at me when I said we'd be lucky to get £10m for Kola and Sokratis combined, turns out I was being overly optimistic :lol:

If push comes to shove make Kola available for £3-5m and see if that cut price helps attract any teams that may pay him £70-80k a week. He might be more open to leaving then.

He's an alright player but no clubs going to pay a £10m+ fee for him on top of the high wages he'll want.

We’re going to end up having to loan out some of these bums while paying most of their wages just to make room in the squad for another couple of signings. Torreira and Sokratis are the only sure things to free up spots. That means we need to get rid of one more to have enough room for Aouar and a GK.

That's, like, your opinion, man.

Signing the bum duo Cedric and Mari really gets worse by the day. Completely waste of space in the squad.

Cedric less so, even though I wasn't keen on signing him permanently.

But making Mari permanent with Saliba and another defender likely on the way the following window was suspect as ****.

Seeing as holding is staying, even with Chambers and Sok leaving, he'll likely be 5th choice if we manage to move to a back four.

How are HG players counted to the overall registered squad?

How do you know that he wouldn’t be named in the squad? If that was the case, why would he want to stay and fight for his place? His place where?

You think he gives a **** about fighting for his place? That’s footballer talk for “I've got it easy here so why leave”. We will likely sign another GK and a midfielder, that means we will need to not list a non-HG player in the squad if no more than a couple are sold. He’s the obvious candidate.

You should have said that instead of stating it as fact, bud.

Thanks for the clarification.

They count towards it but if we only have say 6 HG players then we will only name a squad of 23 (17 non-HG and 6 HG).

So loaning out ESR or any other players (let's say Nelson or even Willock) would not free up space?

I'm stupid, btw.

Nah U21s don’t count against the 25 so they’re not a factor either way. That’s why it doesn’t matter if we sell Guendouzi because he doesn’t count against the 25 this season.
