they all will

Surely it will only apply to those players who were in the squad that was relegated from the premiership and had their salaries halved?  Surely those that joined this year will not get a doubling of their current deal?

nope. contracts will say we go up wages increase by, say, 20%. we go down your wages reduce by 20%.
standard contracts. incentives.
they also have a bonus for staying up.
not that either meslier or bamford could be here next year of course

What do we reckon for next season then with regards to incomings and outgoings ? 


Think we need at least 8 coming in if not more. 


Keeper
Left back
Centre back 
Centre mid x 2. 
Winger at least one if not 2. (Solomon plus one other)
A Number 10
A Number 9 maybe 2 of them 


Meslier goes as does Firpo. Possibly Bamford who I think has one year left. Joseph goes on loan. Ramazanni goes on loan. Not sure Gruev good enough at that level. 



Do we bring in Rothwell permanently for squad depth? 


Need to buy well and will need circa £150m 

agree with all that apart from ramanazzi goes and £8m for Rothwell? no thankyou.
aaronson can play wide and is a decent bench option so possibly can get by without a winger if money is tight in aPSR way.
just buy sensibly. solid premier league experience.
longstaff from Newcastle could be a solid signing for example




edit- wouldn't go anywhere near kalvin phillips. his day has gone 

Davis from Ipswich maybe at LB although the Ipswich fans were bemoaning him this year after his performances in the Championship.
Agree re Phillips no thanks.

davies no thanks.
how about  andy Robertson? seems to be on his way out at liverpool

I think the stumbling block is the wages some of these top players demand.
Doubt we could afford Robertson.
Be happy if Kevin De Bruyne wants to come for 70k a week 

depends who wants them I guess but I get your point

X1 starting GKX1 starting LB (if Farke insists on playing the full backs so high up, the LB will need serious pace and stamina).
X1 back up LB if Firpo goes.
X1 Left CB (either first choice or Wöber's replacement)
X1 right CB backup
X2 CM (Rothwell and Gruev replacements)
X 1 Left footed winger
X 1 10
X 2 strikers (Sell Bamford, loan Joseph)

I'd keep ampedu at the back with strjuik back up. such a solid partnership.

hamer player of the year ahead of numerous leeds and burnley players who were far more worthy of the award??


Bellingham young player of the year?? working in N.E. and even Sunderland fans are dumbfounded about that.


burrows in team of the year ahead of firpo????


Sargent ahead of piroe????




wow. which clueless f'kwits put this together
