£7m Elmo
£7m Diame
£7m Abel
£7m Dawson
£2-3m Jela
Free Huddlestone

We could have Loadsa money come the close of the window...and no players. I reckon our 3 remaining loan spots will fill up fast!

Loan spots aren't really a problem in this window, in a couple of weeks the emergency loan window will open!

I just hope SB has them lined up already should the players above get sold. We've fannied about in this window but that's to be expected I suppose
 
I am reliably informed that everyone at City feels the same way and Jelavic is the only player we actively want out the building.

Oh how true this ^^^^^^ is.

The way Jelavic pushed Hudds off a free kick @ Wolves showed just what he is like. It is obvious now that Jelavic is the poison apple. Our only hope of him going is if a foreign club are desperate enough to want him.

If we keep Hernandez and he plays like he did @ Charlton then we wont miss Andre Gray that much.
 
To be honest I really don't understand why the buyout clauses aren't time limited like many other teams do i.e the clause is only in effect until 2 weeks before the window closes. If the players refused to agree to that they should have been moved on at that time instead of giving them such a powerful contract. Now it could put us in a position where we are stuck with half a squad until January, ridiculous planning from the club, is this something on their CV which we can question?

Are you telling Assem Allam how to run his business?
 
So we've now had one occasion where we were forced to sell a player to a rival against the wishes of the manager due to a clause ridiculously put into his loan contract (not to do with the player's original contract so we were not at all obliged to do so) - seriously who the **** thought that was a good idea.

We are now in a position where half our team could go in the final hour of the window.

Whoever is in charge of the contract situation appears to be completely and utterly clueless. The average football fan could tell you how stupid the contracts are, what does that say about how the business side of the club is being run?

Maybe the players or agents wouldn't agree to them having expiry dates? It doesn't seem common place by any means, they only clause ive heard of with a use by date was Fellaini's.

I don't think it's as cut and dry as some people think. Agents are real greedy fat ****s.
