We talk a lot about who we would like to bring in but who would you not be that upset with going out. Now we assume that any player leaving will trigger a better replacement and no need to look at the loan players who we all want out now. If Liverpool do come in for Catts its fine by me, especially for 12 mil. Gordon will be harder to shift with his injuries and I am a big Gordon fan but it just does not seem to be working for him. Maybe a fresh start will be best all round. I would not be heartbroken to lose Turner, good honest defender but not convinced. The big one is Gyan, will anyone come in for him and what if they did? We are practicaly having to start from scratch up front and I dont know if we should simply start with an all new strikeforce.
Id sell Catts for 12m, I think Colback will do to him what Meyler did to Cana and push him out the side. Craig Gardiner would be my ideal replacement, also with the potential of Larssen on a free who can play in the middle or wide right. As for Gyan, no doubting he's a special player but he must be a headache for a manager as he's hard to partner, him and bent would never have worked as a partnership and it makes me wonder if bruce had some forsight that bent would be off when he brought gyan in. he's had some bad injuries and missed some long periods of football at previous clubs so if someone came in offering silly money, I'm talking 20+million, I wouldn't be too gutted if we were to sell and spend 25-30 million on a carefully thought out pairing, I've always been a fan of the big man and goalscorer combo ala Quinn/Phillips, Bent/Jones.
only one's who i'd be gutted to see go would be bardo/ henderson and sess, think colback has got a bright future. but the rest, wouldn't be to bothered by any of them going, including gyan.
I would sell Gyan for 20mill, probably could get a better striker who wouldnt go too the ACN I wouldnt sell the rest, Gordon, one of the best keepers in England, Cattermole, is quality if you watch him through 90mins and Turner is by far our best defender, just hge hasnt been fit so has been poor since he came back from injury.
This got me thinking about what if offers came in for any of the team. What realistically could we expect offers off, how much are the players worth compared to the figures being talked about for others? Gyan 15-18 million Henderson 10 Sess 10 Then what for the rest ?
