Cannot see Joseph going anywhere Ev'... group mentality and all that, though I suspect he has increased his value...

This was my thought a while back and got pelters - fairly - for suggesting Joseph could be allowed to leave, but if there's any thought of selling while value is high that'd certainly be now.
 
Having witnessed the improvement and obvious dressing room spirit he’s basically chiselled out of stone, it could be interesting to see what Serg could potentially create should The Big Turk allow him to simply get on with it. The gulf may be huge,but whilst finances are import a few astute additions ( similar to Sun’land) City might just avoid a quick return to the Championship and potentially join a few clubs quietly holding there own in the Premiership.



Forza City.
 
I genuinely think the only slight hope od getting Bowen is if he innsists on staying in the prem and West Ham insist on keeping him. Then we might get him on loan for a season until they come back up
 
Of the loan players, I’d only sign Joffy permanently.

As for our players under contract, I’d try to move on:

Akintola
Phillips
Jacob
Kamara
Drameh
Famewo
Dowell
Destan
Palmer
Burstow
Ömür

I’d also loan out Gyabi and McCarthy.

That’s very idealistic though. I think we’ll struggle to shift some of them permanently this summer.
We tried to get rid of Drameh in January
He stayed with agents advice knowing he’s just got a great pay rise
Well have to subsidise a lot of them to move them on
 
The only chance we have of getting Bowen is if he gets amnesia and forgets the last 7 years.

Realistically, if we want someone that is in demand with other PL clubs, we're likely the least desirable option, so it comes down to 2 things - money and salesmanship. Hopefully the latter more than the former.

We may win a battle or two, but ultimately we need to hope Dublin et al unearth some gems from distant shores
 
We need to get Mikey Moore from Spurs imo.
Mikey Moore's future hinged on whether or not Tottenham were relegated.If they went down they'd have played him in the Championship but as they survived I'm led to believe he'll be back at Ibrox next season on loan.

Cracking player and he absolutely loved it at Rangers this season so if he's loaned out again he'll come up here...
 
Hadn't considered cashing in on Millar but wouldn't be a huge surprise if he did go.
Personally I'd extend him, we're more likely to go down than stay up and he's a great champ option. With Koumas likely to go back to Liverpool we already need to sign a lw, if rather we put money into one great option than needing to find 2
 
I realise that but the question was who would you shift on even if they are a great group
I agree Ev'... I said last night, unfortunately sentimentality cant enter into it. Sunderland probably shifted three quarters of the squad to make way for what they brough in... but from not being a great fan I think Jospeh deserves a place and has improved as the season has gone on..
 
Out of the Championship, I'd like to see:

Hamer
Vipotnik
V. Johansson
Krama
Sturge
Coburn
Hackney
Louza

Obviously not all of them but I'd be happy with any of them.

Think we're going to buy a lot of pace going by Serge's comments.
 
We’ll probably let Palmer go for free, isn’t he one of the higher earners? Dowell, Gyabi & Famewo won’t go for much either but we should get a decent fee on Burstow.

Wouldn’t mind us trying for Delap. I think Chelsea will keep him but loan him out and I like to think we’d be interested but any bottom half team probably will be.

Chelsea have zero interest in keeping delap & have told his agent to get active
