So who do you want to see shown the door in January or the Summer? I'm pretty sure Colback's deal is (finally) up so he'll go. Also fine to wave off for me are: Muto Darlow (we have FW who needs advancing) Atsu - sorry lads but he's just not good enough for me Gayle - Cash in while we can Saivet- pants I also hope we trigger the fee for Willems as I've been impressed with the lad.
Not Used and need shifting on: Elliott Darlow Colback Saviet Combined we'd be lucky to get £10m for the lot. Past that lot I'd look at getting rid of Jonjo or KSY and bringing in a holding mid a la Kante, Atsu for another winger, Muto and/or Gayle and bring in a CF with PL experience like Callum Wilson, Chris Wood, Josh King etc who can lead a line and nick a few goals. Maybe get £25-30m for those. Others who could be replaced but should probably stay: Clark, Fernandez, Manquillo
I noticed Bruce has stopped saying what he claimed he's always said in saying " you're only as good as your strikers" hhhmmmm gayle, muto, joelinton, carroll don't know why he's stopped saying it because it's the only thing he's ever got right
None of which will want to sign for us. We definitely either need to play Gayle or preferably get a really decent CF in. Most critically I think we need a midfield player who is going to create and can take charge of a game. Not a chance of either happening I'm afraid unless we get lucky. We are just not shopping in that window at the moment
