Thats if there is anyone available to attract to City who is as good as we already have.

Doubtful.

You could certainly argue that we could find players more up for it and therefore, perhaps, get a better standard of performance out of them. But not the same level of talent.

But as I've said before, the manager has to find a way to motivate these individuals.

and from that it seems your assuming that there will be no bids, i suspect that we will be taking a hit on certainly hernandez and jella in order to move them on, free up wages and get rid of unhapy campers, but time will tell

If Jelavic isn't willing to drop down and play championship football, then I presume he is fairly confident his Knees will hold out. I'm hopeful top flight clubs will be wary of his injury record and we have his services, at least up to January.

He'll tear the championship apart if he stays fit, then if we do sell in January we should get a lot more than the reported £3m asking price.

I'd like us to keep Quinn, he's a very decent Championship squad player, we need players like this, but one of the first names on the team sheet, no.

Did he have some better games than say Huddleston, yes, but is he actually a better player, no.

He was our best player the last time we got promoted.
 
I would say Quinn one of the better players in the promotion season, i wouldn't say the best player though...........
I can't really remember anything he did good in the first season in the premier and only really played in the last dozen or so of this season.
Yes we could do with him to sign on again this season though

Huddlestone had very few good games last season, and even the season before he was overrated. Quinn simply got fewer chances. Reputation and hype will wither and fade unless backed up with enough performances.

Huddlestone is still a better player than Quinn.

EDIT: Don't get me wrong I like the player, he puts in a shift and in the Championship he may do ok, but last season he looked a bit like a Jack Russell running around trying to grab the ball from the bigger dogs

EDIT 2: If Huddlestone wasn't any good the season beforehand, why were a lot of folk including many pundits calling for him to be in the England squad???

Hype. And that whole 'hair story' gave him publicity, even though ironically it just highlighted how little he scores. He was one of those who didn't even bother playing in the final league games as well, not a big enough stage for him I assume lol. Good players play well in less publicised games not just the ones the media focuses on.

Fryatt didnt play apart from 2-3 games. Hobbs was injured too for a lot of it. Gedo!! Only played a few. Aluko half a season.

I'm wrong about Fryatt, but Gedo was on loan from Christmas and scored 5-6 goals in about 10-12 games, Hobbs played 20 or so games and was IMO our best defender, Aluko played 20 or so games and scored 8, all of them performed better than Quinn.
