Who to go. . .

[Jammy89]

On the back of the top 5 players to stay.

Of those major ones linked away in what order do you mind/happy if they go etc.

So Tonali, Hall, Tino, Gordon and Bruno

I don't want any of them to go but for me, I think:

1 - Gordon
2 - Tino
3 - Tonali
4 - Bruno
5 - Hall

Reasons:
1 - I think we have cover there, also if he went it would force us into using a striker in number 9 position. I also think he's maybe not quite as here, as he once was - equally, I think that is our fault after the LiVARpool debacle a couple of years ago.

2 - I think he is more injury prone than we want to believe and I think after a good World Cup we can command a huge fee for him.

3 - Can command a huge fee and we're stocked in CM at the minute.

4 - I don't want him to go, I think he gets us and he drives us on but if we lost him as said, we have cover in CM.

5 - This kid will be world class and will nail England's left-back spot for years to come. He's great on attack and defence and, very importantly, he's willing to learn.

Hopefully I've explained this all well enough

Pretty much agree with that list Jammy Hall simply has to stay and Bruno wont go i certainly wouldnt be against Gordon and Tino leaving so long as get big money for them both.

Well reasoned as usual mate.

Gordon like Tonali, neither has shown the high levels of consistency this season and points to the issue that has seen the team drop 22 points from winning positions this season.

These are the top players in the team and they have clearly had their heads in the Champions League clouds and believe they are too good for the grounded Premier League away days.

They'll carry that mentality to which ever cartel club they decide to go to.

Tino has show commitment his issue is injuries and output in the final 3rd.

104 appearances for NUFC - 1 goal, 3 assists from 6998 minutes played.

As it stands, with contracts ending, Osula & Willock most likely to depart the squad will number 16 or 17 before any of the mentioned above could leave.

Bruno & Hall just aren't on the table. Both are getting new contracts and happily engaged in those negotiations.

Whilst we don't want to go through the same bullsh!te as last season.

Players leaving is part of our Journey as a club right now, Selling well is one of the tools to close the gap to the cartel.

As I repeated like a broken record last summer and through out this season THE CLUB MUST IMPROVE AT PR AND CONTROL THE NARRATIVE AROUND THEIR PLAYERS & SALES

Sandro leaving is not a big deal, if it's oppressive news through the entire summer and the club look like fools to sell on the last day once again, then they have learnt nothing and the people in PR should be fired with extreme prejudice.

As a Media & Technology professional I can assure you that this is not acceptable.

The club should spend some money on a major PR agency, get a power house like Saatchi & Saatchi to dominate the Public Relations. Or go the political route and engage with a powerful political lobbyist and put the pressure on the likes of Sky etc via political channels to shut down all the negativity and gossip.

Jeez, that list DEPRESSES me, if any of it is true! BRUNO and HALL must NEVER be sold, I don't give a FU(K who comes calling and what they have to offer !!!! I'm beginning to think our owners are beginning to lose interest in the project, and are now adopting the horrible traits of MIKE ASHLEY !!!! How the hell are we meant to improve next season ????? I've seen today, we are linked with Dominic Solanke, another second rate striker, no better than WISSA, NO THANKS !!!!

I think everyone needs to calm down and realist that it's the international break and the press has nothing to talk about but stoke controversy, get clicks and views.

The facts are very different from the hysteria that is being reported on the sport websites and dying Main Stream Media.

There is no evidence anywhere that 'the owners' are losing interest at all.

They have just instated a new CEO who is no doubt is on a 4-5m quid a year salary, with an entire career background in commercial revenue generation and global commercial partnership relationships.

Slomanic the Donkey links are just lazy, He played for Howe at Bournemouth and Spurs are going down. His agent is positioning him from a move in the summer.

The club has a player-profile which is aimed to reduce the squad age. The Donkey Solanke is 28, doesn't fit the profile. His 140,000 a week salary is laughable not a chance the club go anywhere near that.

There are no Mike Ashley traits exhibited being exhibited here.

This is how the cartel 6 want to use the press to get us to react is generally my feeling.

Totally get it Andy but I'm looking at it from point of view, this is what they want, so this is what we don't do.
