What do you think the 'release clause' players like Mo, Dawson, Robertson, Hernandez, Livermore, Davies, Elmo etc will do if they are still playing well and the bottom-half EPL teams come sniffing in January?

As I understand it we're pretty powerless if a bid comes in, so if the player wants to go straight back up, they could, but likely to a team that is running a risk of relegation that year.

If we are still top 2, would that be enough of a carrot to keep them? Who would stick and who would twist?
 
As well as we're doing at the moment, who would get a premier league move to a team that isnt facing relegation? Dawson to someone like WBA perhaps? Is that it?

If we're top 2 come the middle of Jan and a team in the bottom 3 comes in, I cant speak for the players but I'd stay.

I suppose it might swing on what money they're offered but on the other hand going out and actually winning games and getting praised must make them feel a lot better than going out expecting to get stuffed and slagged off every weekend.

Diame and Dawson would be the most likely for me.

Think it would take a very attractive offer to tempt the latter though, seems happy enough.
 
I would expect Huddlestone to go ? Even Bruce can now see he offers nothing in midfield in this division & our upturn in results has coincided with him being dropped & Meyler replacing him. Without doubt he has a lot of skill but that's not what we need in the centre of the park when trying to battle our way out of this div. I can't remember the last time he scored a goal ? or seriously tested a keeper with a 25 yard screamer? We need goals from midfield this season & they will not be scored by him.
