Llorente now seems to have been sold?
Different thread methinks, and whatever, if true good riddance.Quote:

Every season we get it wrong.
If we can properly replace Bamford with someone who can reliably score when needed that would be a big step forward.
Olise has left Palace for a reported 60m to that should start the bidding for Summerville.
Suspect not much will happen until after the Euros as the teams with the deepest pockets are likely to be watching that to see if they should change their plans.
Definitely looking like we are ‘cleaning house’ and clearing out players not needed/wanted.
Cresswell and Llorente both now gone. Klaessan too with Roca.
Lots of rumours that Firpo, Wober and Rasmus will follow. Suspect Summerville will go and probably Gnonto too for big amounts of profit.
No excuses then about not being able to sign players and rebuild - it will all be down to the board and DF then.
Like the two people we have heading up player recruitment both seem to have good reputations and seem well respected within the game.
Paying the price for Farke fecking it up last season , so the 49ers will be expecting promotion with a weaker side and the same man in charge.Quote:

I've rethought my comment above.
The sad reality is that never has the championship had 4 good sides competing for promotion. Leeds, Leicester and Southampton had leftover Prem squads with good sized payrolls. Ipswich had a miracle year and won the games they were supposed to.
Might not ever happen again that way so it's a little harsh to say we bottled it. However, not harsh to say that with a little squad rotation we could have been there.
Another baffling transfer window so far. We have got rid or / lost 13 and, as far as I can tell, we have only signed Rodon who we had on loan anyway, another goalkeeper, a 14 year-old and someone in the backroom staff.
I don't understand it at all. I do understand it might just be clickbait but I've seem some rather specific stories on Summerville, Gnonto (Italy), Rutter (Brighton), Kamara (Rennes). It's not like we are destitute or owned by Bates anymore. None of these listed are replaceable by who we have in the current squad.Quote:
