Give Gabby away, and we now have all these wages covered, then we can afford to wait and sell at reasonable price

What's happened to this 'Whelen' signing? was only 1 millions?

As for Vertout, Amavi & Maccormack, well loaning out will not bring in cash. If people want these players then stump up I say. Why is it Sunderland saying good things about RMc? great player, scores you goals, and pool fans about Amavi, proper left back, bring him in!!! Are we talking the same two players here?

to be Honest, I think we are better off keeping them than 'Loaning out' as we will not be able to raise the funds, Bruce 5punked that up the wall in January!

Jonhstone, Hutton, Terry, Chester, Amavi, Jedi, Landsbury, Hurihane, Grealish, Kodija, Maccormack has to be out strongest team?

I agree that loan deals are pointless right now. We need the cash! I would sell Hogan and McCormack and bring in Gayle.
Gayle Kodjia Gabby and RDM would be fine for this season.
Veretout needs to go too and bring in Barry who can unlock defences and control the game.
It's a long time to go before the window shuts but I do hope we get Barry sooner than later. I would be gutted if he signs for WBA or some other crap club.

[TrianonDave]

Not sure getting rid of both Hogan and Ross is a good idea with Kodija still out. Of the two I would honestly stick with RMc. Hogan is out of his depth and Sorry Bongo, Gabby is not good enough for a starting lineup. If we let RMC go to our rivals it would be a big mistake, just watch him bang in the goals and get them promoted while we find it difficult to cross the half way line!!

[bongosdad]

If Gabby isn't good enough neither is Hogan or McCormack. At least Gabby can turn a game around off the bench if asked.
Hogan is a Bruce signing so I expect McCormack would leave first. If we brought in Gayle we should have good enough and maybe send RDM on loan.
We need a proper midfielder (Barry) to make things happen up front. Maybe Liverpool would swap Milner for Amavi?

[TrianonDave]

Nice thought about Milner but will never happen.
If Ross goes then we must cut our losses and accept about 5 million but Sunderland I think won't pay that much and demand a loan?
It really does beg the question, who on earth valued both Maccormack and hogan at 12 million each? Ridiculous!

I think we may be in a pickle stick or twist!
I say stick but if we get a fee then twist!

[bongosdad]

We got took for a ride with those two. I would bite hands off for 5m. I wouldn't pay 12m for the pair. Thank the Lord we signed Kodjia though and have a fighting fit Agbonlarhor.

[TrianonDave]

Well Gabby may have the last word? My only fear now is that Kodija when fit, will command a 15 maybe 20 million price tag. They may be to tempting for Bruce?

I am expecting a much stronger and settled team tomorrow v Walsall. I would like to see what a pairing of gabby and Rod can do?

And it looks like Elphick is going to be dining in the blues tomorrow. 1 million deal on the cards with ol Harry!!

[TrianonDave]

Rod, that's Ross to you and I.....

[bongosdad]

You could have Rod and emu up front.

I'm hoping Samba gets the nod in a 353 he played well the other day.
I've been trying to pick a side but we look so weak in midfield without the Jedi.
