We have to move Danilo on but it's a huge challenge selling someone with his injury record. 

 

Igamane will go as soon as an acceptable offer is received.

I still can’t believe we signed him in all honesty. For that price and that wage, to bring in a guy who was available for free a year previously, who was a backup at Feyenoord, was a mental decision.

Danilo is constantly injured. Next season a big season for Igamane. Can he progress further? We won’t have the funds to completely overhaul the squad

Yeah, when we signed Danilo, I was really looking forward to him playing / contributing much more than I was with Dessers when he signed.

 

Turns out Dessers has contributed way more than Danilo and you have to wonder if we'll ever see the best of Danilo.

 

With Igamane's progression, it's a gamble turning down circa £17M, do I'd sell ASAP.

See above - I was genuinely excited when we signed him. He had a decent record in Holland IIRC.

 

However, he's only ever managed to show flashes of what he's capable off between injuries and has been a complete waste of money thus far. 

 

I'd rather us sold Danilo and kept Dessers, but would prefer if both go is it frees up money/space for better alternatives.

So did Propper

Danilo is a very good player. We're much better in our general play when it's him and Igamane up front. 

 

Unfortunately - as with several of our players - he's fragile AF. 

[Devil's advocaat 1,971]

I'm really hoping we can replace Dessers with someone who's better at linking play, pulling defenders about and generally being a tad more robust in duels.

Like Alfredo Morelos?

But he hasn't shown it enough. We've only seen flashes and he look shot of fitness and confidence when he returned after his latest set-back.

Yes, that too.

Aye, sort of, but I never thought Alfredo was a particularly good finisher tbh, I'd actually say Dessers is a better finisher. Alfie was superb at leading the line though, until he decided he couldn't be fucked any more.

 

There's no reason we can't unearth a morelos type player, I mean our scouting network and team management were a bit of a shambles back then.
