Sell before we buy - but who to sell?

[Dave]

Depressing as it is, the statement this evening makes it pretty clear we can't sign anyone without selling players first.

 

So who do you think is the most expendable? And who do you think the club/Hughton will put into that category?

 

I can see Jonas, Steven Taylor and Krul being sold this summer.

[Disco]

Expendable IMO:

S.Taylor

R.Taylor

Best

Xisco

Smith

 

Board will be open to offers (due to fee and/or wages)for:

Jonas

Coloccini

Carroll

Krul/Forster

Barton

 

 

 

[Guest elbee909]

Barton if we're lucky, relatively speaking.

[Guest Leazes_Lad]

Krul must be kept imo

[Cajun]

Expendable:

S.Taylor

R.Taylor

Best

Xisco

Smith

 

Open to offers:

Jonas

Coloccini

Carroll

Krul/Forster

 

 

 

 

+ Barton and Nolan.

[TheGuv]

Shola

Best

Raylor

Jonas

 

 

Cut wages/Bonus' etc

[Guest neesy111]

colocini (86k a week after bonuses  )

smith

best

barton

[Foluwashola]

We could do without losing anyone 

 

If this is the way its going to be, then I suppose Smith, Best and Krul could be disposed. We will then have approximately 4 shillings to bring players in.

[ToonTastic]

Gets us what £8m for S +R Taylor, Best, Xisco and smith then 12.5m for Jonas and Coloccini. £3m Carroll and same for Krul. So how do you replace that lot with just over £20m ?

[Disco]

Expendable:

S.Taylor

R.Taylor

Best

Xisco

Smith

 

Open to offers:

Jonas

Coloccini

Carroll

Krul/Forster

 

 

 

 

+ Barton and Nolan.

 

Forgot about Barton, Nolan won't be leaving in a month of Sundays.

[Guest BooBoo]

Steven Taylor would fetch a decent price and Colo/ Williamson 'should' do okay in the PL.

[Disco]

Gets us what £8m for S +R Taylor, Best, Xisco and smith then 12.5m for Jonas and Coloccini. £3m Carroll and same for Krul. So how do you replace that lot with just over £20m ?

 

We'll do well to get a fee for Xisco.

[James]

Don't panic, Hughton will probably get the increased TV money.

[jdckelly]

selling colo would seem the most logical move given his high wages however saylor would fetch a higher fee for hughton to play around with, do not sell both sell one or the other.

raylor is expendable, smith if someone makes an offer (i dont expect one) xisco obviously and with a high enough offer (imo 8m plus) jonas

[Guest je85]

Don't panic, Hughton will probably get the increased TV money.

 

That'll be going into cutting the debt I would've thought.

[Cajun]

Gets us what £8m for S +R Taylor, Best, Xisco and smith then 12.5m for Jonas and Coloccini. £3m Carroll and same for Krul. So how do you replace that lot with just over £20m ?

 

We would be mental to sell Carroll for £3m, even if you don't think he is worth that we would get more.

I think the same for Krul, pointless selling our players of the future for a quick buck.

[Disco]

With a bit of luck we'll have had some clauses on the sale of Milner re: % of sell on, play at WC. I highly doubt it though.

[Scottish Mag]

I dont think we will see massive changes incoming or outgoing.

 

I think its more likely we will see 2 or 3 bosmans coming in.  I really wouldnt be surprised if Kris Boyd was one of them.

[traeir]

Players I could see leaving

 

Barton

Smith

Colo

Ameobi

Best

Raylor

Saylor

 

[Doctor Zaius]

If we have to sell to raise funds we'll go down with a whimper. Make no bones about it.

[JH]

Any of them. It's not like it fucking matters, they'll not be replaced.

[Amir_9]

There are some very decent loan and free signings we could make, no need to sell a load of players really.

[David28]

I read some think we would sell Krul. This would be one of the biggest mistakes we could make. He has to stay. I'd rather sell Harper and take the gamble on Krul and start him from next season knowing that he has many many (great) years ahead of him.
