Centreback on his way

Interesting that the article says after his impressive stint at Middlesbrough , wouldn’t say that myself although that could change after the 9 games.
 
HITC articles are a load of rubbish.

Moukoudi was a loan signing anyway, he was always going.
 
I think its possible he'll be here next season too - he's been very hit and miss so far. There's a player in there for sure and he has some big strengths to his game, but he's very raw at the moment and needs games/experience.

It's all bollox ATM as far as signings and exits go on these "sites"(schites). Clubs must be a bit unsure of their finances anyway. We'll see.......
 
The noises from the club suggest Howson will sign another contract. Contrastingly, there has been nothing on Ayala, which I'm sure means he'll be moving, most likely to Leeds if the media is correct.

Its going to be a big summer in terms of the squad and I've suspected for a while now that next season will be a lot more challenging than this.

Quite possibly. My only hope is that other clubs are hit more financially (given we've already done a lot of cost cutting) meaning there'll be at least 3 more much weaker than us.

Might take a season or two for the full impact of lockdown to take effect on the playing side for clubs though. Could be in league 1 by then. Assuming we stay up this season which is far from a certainty . 😬
 
This was all before the virus...

If we go down on top of this, we will be even more in the sh1t
 
I think Ayala would be the only one I'd try to keep, and it looks pretty certain he's off. Howson is a nice tidy player, but to be honest I've been pretty underwhelmed with his performances in the main. It is baffling that on relegation we had a squad that went up automatically, have spent a fortune and and three years later we're on the bones of our **** with hardly any senior pros, goal scorers, pace, creativity, set piece taker of any great ability and still no attacking providers / wingers. It is almost unbelievable that the make up of the squad has been mismanaged to such an extent.

I don't really have any faith in Gibbo, Gill and a PowerPoint from Woody turning the squad around in the coming season(s). Bola, Diijksteel and Browne have varied between bang average and woeful for most of this last season in their limited playing time. Isn't it a bit weird that Woody (who was appointed in part, as he knew all players and youth players coming through) identified two young full backs as being his first signings and what was required, when arguably the only bright spot from this season has been the emergence of Spence and Coulson?

I'll also be pretty annoyed if we are decimating the squad to allow enough wage budget to bring Ben Gibson back and pay his premier salary (or a good chunk of it). Plenty of other clubs assemble competent, competitive squads in this league on a fraction of what we spend. It has been joked about before but it would surely be an astute business move to assemble a recruitment & scouting department from Brentford or wherever rather than continuing on with the same duffers who have brought us to the edge relegation / despair.

I'm just going to have to go on with blind hope that things will get better I suppose.
