Tricky one as he might be useful squad member. Do we roll the dice and take the profit now? Krafu is almost back along with Lascelles not far behind.

Krafu is almost back along with Lascelles not far behind. pure profit, as the accountants put it? tbf, we’re covered at LB with Hall, Tino and Targett and at LCB with Botman and Burn. Lascelles coming back gives us three options at RCB with Schar and Kraft. Defence is the area where we actually have decent depth, albeit RCB could be upgraded. If selling Kelly helps finance a move for a striker or RW, it’s a no brainer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's presumably on a good wage here as a free transfer, so they would really have to make it worth his while to move so soon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5918 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 It's probably just Mourinho reminding our board he exists in case they want to trade in an 8 game win streak for chaos, drama and PSR breaches 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7620 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I would hope this is us negotiating rather than refusing to sell. We've pleaded PSR poverty for 4 windows and are being offered 8 figures for a reserve CB. Take the money and invest it in a long term replacement for Schar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 49836 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 If none of our CB targets are available, why would we take the money and leave ourselves short in a season where we're one match away from a domestic cup final, and trying to get back into the CL. Botman is only just back from a long period out, there's no guarantees he can stay fit. Similarly Lascelles isn't even back yet from a long period out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similarly Lascelles isn't even back yet from a long period out. because he is arguably third choice in the two positions where he provides cover and we're restricted by the psr nonsense. doesn't it make sense if shifting him for a decent fee means we can buy a new RW or CF? we are two injuries away from starting Miggy at RW or Osula/Gordon at CF 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 49836 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 It doesn't make any sense if none of our targets are available to buy this window, because it weakens the squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 49836 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Basically what I'm saying is rest assured, if this deal makes sense and the money can be put to use to improve the squad this window, I'm sure our manager and DoF will do their jobs and sell the player and reinvest. If it doesn't, they'll do their jobs and retain the player for what's left of the season. Demanding that they take the money now is fucking daft when you don't know which of the above scenarios is currently playing out behind the scenes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut 468 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Sell for £10-15m, get an Onyewu-style loan as 4th choice CB to keep us covered this season and to help with FFP, then go for the big Guehi-style bid in the summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye and what if a month from now we've got an injury crisis. Will all you clever cunts be going "well we never should have sold Kelly and not replaced him. What were they thinking of? Best chance of a trophy in my lifetime and we've blown it for £11m". You can't play the £11m in the cup final. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 23600 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 8 minutes ago, Gemmill said: It doesn't make any sense if none of our targets are available to buy this window, because it weakens the squad. true, but it weakens an area of the squad where we're strong. we've still got burn, botman, schar and murphy at CB - soon to be joined again by lascelles and krafth we have to be smarter at letting players go when the right bid comes along because of psr. we've been terrible sellers under the new owners, the one negative since they took over tbh. that's partially because offloading deadwood isn't easy but in hindsight we probably should have shifted trippier and wilson last january when generous offers came in for both players.

Rayvin 5918 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 How does that PSR spending thing work again, if we sold him for £11m what would that 'become' in terms of immediately accessible funds? A £55m player on a 5 year deal? If we could replace him now and bring in that £55m player, I'd say go for it. Otherwise I think Gemmill is right.

ewerk 33151 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Aye and we might not get an offer close to that for him in the summer. If we don't get another CB in this window then it gives Eddie extra to get his top target in the summer. Cheer up a bit you pessimistic fucker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it that you've recently spotted in Eddie Howe that makes you think he'd be happy to sell a CB in the middle of the season and just be super chill that he can replace him in the summer?

It's not smart to sell a player if you can't replace him during the season. Krafth, Lascelles, Botman. All are coming back from proper injuries. We're not over stocked at CB given that context. Like I say, they'll have a plan, and if this is doable this window, they'll do it. But people demand we take the money "cos it's £11m" is stupid.
