Ruel foxSissoko or Ginola?
Some people see Aurier gone and thinks it's good, I see Doherty steping up as our RB and would be mad even if we let Allan Hutton go for him.
I'd sell Doggerty over him all day long. But he only stayed this season as we were stuck apparently. He is gone. We now need two RB. Doggerty is NOT an option.

Our problem is our squad is currently so full of trash we would need about a half dozen sold and the same brought in before we start to notice a difference.
I'm actually scared for next season
Surely to goodness we are going to buy a new right back, then? I don't see Tanganga or Doherty as viable options.
I'm not wild on Berge, but if I know my Levynomics then selling Sissoko (ageing and with 2 years left on his contract) and getting in Berge for a net sum of approximately zero will have him salivating.
He's young enough that after a half-successful season with us his transfer value would probably double.
I'm perfectly happy with this blowing up in my face but I think Andersen has looked damned good despite being in a crap side this season. Seems to have leadership qualities despite being young and his height is a bonus too. Well worth a go at 20m in my opinion.
Just in case Hitchen is reading the forum.
Ryan Nyambe has a two months left on his contract he is young powerful twice the player Doherty is .

If you think about it though, Waddle, Gazza, Ginola - all 3 must be right up there amongst our most skilful and exciting players, certainly in the 40 or so years that I've been a fan anyway. I'd love Saint Maximin to eventually be added to that list...Sissoko or Ginola?
(Wonder why someone clicked 'dislike' on my earlier post without any reason given - wonder what they dislike about the idea of signing Saint Maximin? Perhaps it's simply that we've got much bigger problems to solve in other areas, which would be a fair comment I guess).

Because we rarely buy without monitoring for a period. Sometimes longer than others
Because 2 years ago he would have been young, helped us and had more time to grow with us. It would have been a move that involved forward thinking and future planning.
Why would we want a player like that when we can wait until they are older, more expensive and we are two years to late to fill a need.
Its much better to make transfer decision in a reaction to what you were missing rather than anticipating what you will need going forward.
So we can get him on a free?
Right back has been such a problem since Kyle Walker left and Poch didn’t have faith in KWP. We really need to get it right this summer. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Doherty go as well as Serge.
Unless we are bringing in two RB’s, I would tend to agree, Doherty is older and shitter and should be first out the door of the pair of them. The problem is their respective contracts I guess. Who the fuck is going to take Doherty off our hands for anything like the money we paid?
Same goes for Sissoko/Winks scenario, Winks is more useful and HG but he’s actually got some value and will be easier to shift, no one is buying Sissoko and/or paying him what we do.
Aurier is the one person in the entire squad who I would sell. He's a liability. We're better without a right back than with him.
Even if we can't find a replacement, I say we set him free and take our chances.
Personally, I'm baffled by our choice to sell Kyle Walker Peters. Why not try to bring him back?
I don’t disagree re Aurier but at least he’s capable of good games.... from time to time.
zombies like Winks, Sissoko, Lamela, Lucas, Doherty etc rarely have a good one
I can’t stand Aurier but at least it’s 40/60 good game to bad. Those other dregs are 10/90
