    Should probably keep that for January in case we need to make adjustments.

    Because of their injuries, their transfer value will have significantly lowered. For that reason, and because they could still prove to be useful for us, I would loan them out this season, making sure they still have at least a year on their contracts in a years time, to ensure we get a fee if we do decide to sell.

    If they perform well, we can decide then if they are still likely to be able to do a job for us, or, because they have been seen to be performing well by other clubs, we can get a higher price for them, if we decide to sell.

    If they don't perform well on loan or get further injury problems, then we get rid next summer, but their value probably wouldn't be much less than it is now.

    There are plenty in the squad that I want off the books completely and most people will know who they are without me naming them. I don't want us loaning them out and being left with the same problem next year.

    For the first time i definitely agree

    Think during Afcon it could be palatable due to wingers and centre mids on duty

    I'd rather we kept both tbh, I believe they'll both become better players now.

    Our coaching is excellent and the level of our signings will push them on imo.

    That's why I'm not as anxious as some to have a mass clear out.

    Alese in particular I just dont see a fit here anymore. His injuries have probably seen him stall here. But I just dont see him ahead of Ballard, Onien, Alderete, Seelt right now. I would play Reinaldo ahead of him ar CB. It seems we are in for another CB. In my opinion that would make him 7th choice CB and 4th choice left back (shudder). I agree with you, fairest from us would be to let him go for a reasonable fee and let him try to play regularly.

    Huggins I see a slightly different scenario. That is because I think he is a better player than Alese, with more versatility. A loan to see if he can stay fit for 40 games would be my choice. Then I would bring him back and see if we can get him at the top of his form.

    We can always put a buyback or sell on with Ali.

    I agree we can’t wait forever for him. It’s a shame because if he ever did play a season and develop he could be so good.

    The clubs moved past him now sadly. Get him a good moved back down south to someone like Charlton or Millwall.

    Those two are goos enough to play a part. We do have more than our share of players who I dont think will and I believe it is fair to them to give them an easy route out.

    Ba, Pembele, Hemir, Poveda, Anderson, Matete, Blondy, Rusyn, Triantis. I dont think can add anything to out match day squad anymore. Then there are some who may, but are probably better off going for their careers in Alese, Huggins, Browne, Aleksic. Whether those lads go on loan or perm or loan is something to consider. Probably sell Browne tbf to the lad, depending on how big his salary is being as he was a freebie.

    Would love a (loan to) permanent as he’s a home grown player - as well as being a massive talent. But I think the buzz around him makes him likely to be a City first teamer from this season. He was meant to break through last season if he hadn’t got the injury.

    We might very well go down.

    Leeds and Burnley might be better. These two thing will be decided on the pitch.

    But I would bet everything I own on us not breaking these rules. This lot are just too professional.

    Good post. This all makes sense. The only thing I have slight difference on is Seelt might not be at the level that Sunderland seems to be going after now. I'd be tempted to keep a fit Alese ahead of him. But he's never fit so this is a theoretical discussion only :emoticon-0100-smile

    Bring me Harvey. Still available I believe. Probably a better signing than Amad would be... (runs for cover)

    Bobb was around the squad before he got injured, he’s been in it pre season and was superb, starting, at weekend.

    That boats sank.

    I am not massively comvinced by Seelt either mate. I am just relying a bit on his youth development to give him a chance. That and the fact decent clubs are knocking on the door for him.

    All just opinions arent they. For all I know Joe Anderson may be 1st choice by Christmas. Well, maybe not I suppose <laugh>

    Said exactly the same earlier. Would be a credible player in multiple positions too. Just a shame that Liverpool seemingly want £50m:emoticon-0102-bigsm
