Audit of the squad.

[ClaretinBudapest]

Dubravka - great shot stopper but has deficiencies with one on one and set pieces and also in the twilight of his career.
Walker - Clearly long past his sell by date in the PL.Retirement in the summer.
Worral - Slow and weak.Championship at best.
Humphries - tactically inept and frequently gives the ball away.Championship at best.
Pires - Cannot tackle, cannot head the ball, frequently gets disposessed.League 1 at best.
Sonne - good Championship prospect but have not seen enough of him to be sure.
Esteve - good top end Championship defender.Has been exposed at times in the PL for his inability to head the ball in either box.
Roberts - Good Championship defender - missed his energy this season.
Tuanzebe - Championship at best.
Ekdal - Journeyman defender - Championship at best.
Laurent - totally exposed in this league.Slow,clumsy and gives the ball away all too often.Lower Championship/League 1 at best.
Cullen-good Championship player but too small for the PL.
Florentino - Lightweight and often looks indecisive.Too weak for even the Championship.
Ugochukwu - Not good enough for PL.Championship at best.
Hannibal - Great skills but missing something and a loose cannon.Maybe PL if he can control his temper.
Edwards - Great skills possible lower PL club would be interested.
Tchauma - Big lad but hopeless in the PL just runs round like a headless chicken then falls over like one.Championship at best.
Broja - Failed experiment.Too slow and injury prone .
Foster - was not good enough when we signed him even for the Championship.Way out of his depth in the PL.
Anthony - Good Championship player - too lightweight for the PL.
Hartman - Some glimpses of quality but not enough for me.Championship again or back to European league.
Flemming - good Championship player.Cannot hold the ball up and disappears for a lot of games.PL a step too far.
Amdouni - Good player and we should get a decent offer for him.
JBL - He wasn?t good enough first time around and this season has proved why.League 1 at best.
Barnes - Retire Ashley.We love your attitude but the body is past it.
Beyer - Crocked
Tresor - Definitely a good player but does not want to be here and under Parker who could blame him.Back to Europe.
Koleosho - Back to Europe.
Obafemi - Leave ASAP please.
Ramsay - Crocked.
Hountondij - Championship at best or back to Europe.
Delcroix - Championship at best.

If anybody thinks we will get good fees for offloading any of this bunch of duds think again after the performances this season and ParkI reckon the only player on that list that might get over 10m is Edwards, Amdouni and possibly Esteve.
We are in deep dodo.I reckon the club is potentially facing a financial crisis.


Parkers inept tactics,team selections and substitutions will not help the valuations.

Pretty fair summing up imo. Nothing I would argue with.

Florentino (obligation to buy with conditions), Laurent, Dubravka, Hladky and Barnes are I believe out of contract on 30/6/2026.
Cullen, Ekdal, Beyer, Roberts & Walker are all contracted to 30/6/2027 with additional one year options for Cullen & Roberts.
Hannibal, Foster, Amdouni, Pires, Tresor & Worrall are all contracted to 30/6/2028.
Hartman, Anthony, Flemming, Edwards, JBL & Weiss are contacted to 30/6/2029.
Ugochukwu, Esteve, Tchaouna & Broja have contracts to 30/6/2030.
(Details from the Transfermarkt website).

I would expect Hannibal, Hartman, Florentino & Ugochukwu to get fees of 10m in addition to the three you listed CiB but your bleak assessment of our overall position is probably not too far wide of the mark.
