With only just over a week until the Window closes what changes might we see to our squad? Main Outgoings (to date) - Prices approx. Chester to WBA - 8 mill. Brady to Norwich - 7 mill. N'Doye to Trabonszpor - 2.5 mill. Ince to Derby - 5 mill McShane, Quinn to Reading - Free Rosenior to Brighton - Free TOTAL - 22.5 mill. Possible Outgoings - Price est.(?) Hernandez to Torino - 7 mill. Jelavic to Norwich - 3 mill. Huddlestone to West Ham - 3.5 mill. Dawson to ? - 4 mill. Elmo to ? - 4 mill. TOTAL - 21.5 mill. Main Incomings to date - Price est. Obudajo from Brentford - 3.5 mill. Clucas from Chesterfield - 1.3 mill. Maloney from Chicago - 1.5 mill. Akpom/Hayden from Arsenal - loans Taylor from Newcastle - Free TOTAL - 6.3 mill. Possible Incomings - Price est (?) Gayle from C.Palace - 6+2 mill. Bentley from Southend - 1.5 mill. TOTAL - 9.5 mill. I've probably missed some out or got the actual numbers wrong but that's my best recollection. Obviously we're well on the plus side financially in our dealings to date. Which of the above possible outgoings to you think we would miss the least and which do you hope we keep. Personally I won't mind seeing Huddlestone and Jelavic go. I'd like to keep the other 3. As for incomings we need another striker, GK, and creative attacking CMF player.
N'Doye went for £2.5 from what I read, but we also got £5 million for Ince & £750k from Cairney's sell on clause.
Yes sorry...I had a mental blank about Ince, got N'Doye wrong, and forgot Cairney's sell on!! But the total was about right.
Clucas was £1.3m. West Ham have no interest in Huddlestone, our best hope is Sherwood wanting him at Villa.
SB said we have a few irons in the fire, he thought Galye may be to expensive so I would have thought we would be looking at a striker around the 3 to 4 million mark. I still think we will still be looking at the loan market and someone at Manchester utd. Another goalkeeper we know is needed, I also keep saying a box to box midfielder but hopefully Diame is on his way back. Were not in a great position not knowing who is leaving and it looks like premier clubs are willing to wait until the deadline which makes it difficult for us all we can hope for is that clubs come in for players who want to leave early this week to give us time to strenghen.
Too big for that. More on of those Wooden Indians stood at the entrance to a shop please log in to view this image
Caption competition. Tom Huddlestone looks forward and says " I see no strikers making good runs" so passes it back to the defence.
"Hey meyler can you see the halfway line from here" "No Tom, gaffer told us not to go that far forward
