Tiote has to be binned off. He's deadwood and a drain on our cash as well as likely our morale. Thauvin - apparently he has played his 12 games so we will make his move permanent for around £10m allegedly. Anyone else you feel we should ship out?
Tiote and Thauvin are the obvious ones. Riviere. Haidara. Riviere. Murphy. Riviere. Saivet. Riviere. They would be the 6. I'd retain the rest but we have a massive job on in the summer.
While Hoyoots has performed well in the Dutch league, I don't think he has the grit for the championship. We have good cover at CB anyway.
Aarons if we can manage it, the boy's going to be in and out of the physio room for the rest of his career by the looks of it.
Aarons needs to be ditched, but nowhere will be stupid enough to offer him a contract, everyone will have him sussed by now and won't take a massive risk like this. Basically we'll probably be stuck with him while he sees his contract out and is always crocked, then when we release him he'll probably end up at Consett or Jarrow Roofing like all our failed kids do. Thauvin's already triggered his transfer clauses, which is great news and we're getting far more than he's worth back. Tiote? Out of contract in summer, but surely we can ship him out before then? We don't want you, please go. If we can turn any of our crappy loan-outs in to permanent transfers, everyone would be happy, but I doubt anyone would take Riviere, De Jong and Saviet permanently. Haidara is the only other one in the squad we need to move on, we've got far better options than him now.
Was Riviere not doing okay at Osasuna? Lol no apparently since they're nailed to the bottom of La Liga... From whoscored.com :
I'd say not. He's hit and miss in the Championship, and really off standard for the Prem. He needs replacing.
Thauvin deal done apparently http://www.express.co.uk/sport/foot...n-Thauvin-Marseille-transfer-clause-loan-deal Otherwise Tiote - definitely Saivet and Riviere if we can dump them, but they're away until the end of the season regardless Haidara - possibly Otherwise, not too many I'd ship out right now, unless replacements are inbound 1st - especially losing a few to the ACON
I'd start with Albert and that lazy twat Nev. Then I think we'd have a decent forum, bar the odd harmless cheat.
At the beginning of the season I thought we had 4 keepers who could "do a job". I still do, I'm just less sure what that job is, fishmonger? Darlow and Elliot are better than Sels (who we will get no money for). Krul should be our best but his distribution can be utter gash. I thought Elliot last season was great for us most times he got a run out but much of a muchness. Out: Sels, Tiote, Colback (please), Ameobi, Siem De Jong, Riviere, Hanley (not good enough), Murphy, Thauvin, Toney, Saivet. None good enough and I'm beginning to think I'd much prefer Armstrong around than Perez if I'm brutally honest.
Other than Tiote we shouldn't get rid of anyone unless there are top players willing to join us now. The time to sell and rebuild the squad is at the end of the season when we can attract the players we want (assuming we are promoted, yada yada yada). At the end of the season ship the weakest 2 keepers out and bring a new one in. Shift out Hanley, Murphy and whoever else then too if they are not up to the job. We don't need the disruption half way through the season.
Oh absolutely, I got a bit sidelined from the thread topic. I certainly wouldn't advocate wholesale changes mid-season, if we got a few injuries I'd prefer to bring in some of those players rather than our youth team. Probably.
