The "If we go down" thread

monkeybarry said:
Bizarrely, I think most of our players will be in demand - they are all good players; they are just a mess together.

Vic - back to Italy
Porro - Plenty of suitors
Danso - probably back to Germany
Romero - will be the first to demand to leave
VdV - will be so close behind Romero you won't see his shadow
Spence - a Villa Saudi Sportswashing Machine type
Bergvall - big rep
Udogie - back to Italy
Xavi & Tel - still have good reputations, sure someone in Germany or France will be stupid enough.
Vuscovic - I think he'll go in the summer no matter what.
Kulu - loads of suitors

Madders - will want to leave. Might have some lower PL suitors. Might not.

Sarr - might stay. Will have options. But I suspect he'd stay.
Solanke - I think he'd stay one year.
Richi - same as Solanke.
Gray - will have lots of options. I think he'd stay and focus on being a regular and developing. He seems to have his head screwed on.

So:
Kinsky
New RB
Dorrington Phillips Takai
Davies might get a new deal?
Souza

Gray
Sarr
Gallagher?

Moore
Yang
Donley (edit - apparently Oxford have an option to make permanent)
Williams Barnett

Gallagher - unknown.

Solanke
Richi?
Lankshear
Melia?

Just typing that - I want half of that top lot gone and the bottom lot given the space to step up; a few of them will.

I could see Maddison staying actually - might get lucky and feel he owes us.

He’s reportedly on £150k pw with 2 years left on his deal. You get him to agree to a paycut and the rest is a bonus should we get promoted and he plays half the games. If we get promoted he goes back to his full wage and gets an extension. If we don’t he leave on a free. Think you can do a similar deal with others like Spence, Kulusevski and Solanke.

I think player power is too strong for that.
And you don't exactly look at our squad and think "strong characters"

I think that can apply to Ven de Ven, Bergvall, Vuskovic and maybe Udogie will have an option that’s better than Spurs. But I think we could sell the later three on the idea of staying around knowing they will be playing games and be back in the Prem next season. You could agree to a buy out clause if we don’t get promotion as we would need to sell at that point anyway.

Spence, Danso & Tel would be going to mid table or below teams in the Prem who are not going to pay them more than we do.

I think we'd be fine financially, for the first year at least, Levy has only been gone a few months, they've not had the time to undo his prudence and he'll have had some kind of protection against such circumstances.

I am wary of the loan ‘covenants’ and hope they’re a red herring. I don’t think they are.
