bickster Posted January 2 Moderator Share Posted January 2 My plan is still to keep hold of Salah / Son, I really think it'll pay dividends in the long run as I can't see them dropping in price the amount I have to find to get them back My transfer this week will be Semenyo out (which would in all likelihood have happened anyway regardless of AFCON currently looking at Cunha / Joao Pedro as replacements but could still be someone else The following week I'm considering downgrading Trippier to Botman but as that is a looooooong way off, it isn't worth looking at it yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could go to Saka for one but I'm not convinced on his or Arsenal's form, then we're down to Bowen and the also rans. I can't see losing them as anything other than a long term disaster.

We'll see I suppose I think you've got to take at least one out. You can't have nearly a quarter of your budget tied up in players who won't play.

StefanAVFC Posted January 2 VT Supporter Share Posted January 2 Still working out what to do. I've got 2 FTs. Archer -> Haaland is a no brainer Then Salah -> one of Foden/Richarlison/Diaz/Bailey I'm leaning towards Bailey to give me as much budget as possible to buy back Salah, or at least Son.

I still think I want to see his name on a team sheet first though I doubt he'll start on the weekend in the FA Cup, but with it being a home match maybe he'll get some mins off the bench if he's fit. I have Alvarez in place of Haaland, so hopefully won't be too bad if I hold off for a GW and Haaland starts vs NEW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 2 Author Moderator Share Posted January 2 Benching Palmer was disastrous for me. Did it to accommodate Alvarez. And I had Solanke on the bench initially. Should have kept it that way. A 50k drop for that move alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted January 3 Author Moderator Share Posted January 3 To only drop 11k to 46k after benching Palmer is a mighty let off. Onwards and upwards.
