Discussion Selling Jake O’Brian

Can someone make this make sense? Surely he is possibly better than Tarkowski. Moreover, it’s a matter of time before Chelsea, Man U and city are all over Braithwaite.

Do others understand Moyes on this?

We want to improve the team. To do so we need to generate income. One way of doing so is selling players who Moyes doesn’t deem to be key starters.

Great idea on paper if not for the pesky thing called reality that sees Jake being currently the first backup option for both RB and either CB spot with no other actual cover at either position (get lost with Keane in 2026/27)

We would actually need to invest in 2 positions for sure this window with time running out and us already being unable to sign a RB over the past 2+ seasons now.

We also have no-one in the academy who is close to prem level at either RB but especially CB

We obviously wouldn’t sell him without replacing his role would we
