It’s definitely Seri and Adama before Ozan.
Adama created the second most clear cut chances in our squad behind Seri having played 21 games less.
Seri is good but also a liability at times, how many mistakes has Seri made which led to us conceding compared with Tufan? I would Say Traore then Tufan then Seri
I think, MAYBE, a top end Championship team, maybe a relegated team might decide to slap up £5 million, but I doubt any foreign team even knows he exists.Take it that's a no then Bruce.
If he was that good, he’d have had some sort of U21 recognition, when he was a (£10+ million CB) according to some. He didn’t, he never was, I hope he gets better, his defending at set pieces has improved under LR, but £3-£5 million will be bids, from the likes of Middlesbrough, Leeds or Coventry. I don’t even see a team like Luton or Forest going for him.
Seri makes mistakes because he takes the ball in the tightest areas, plays the riskiest passes, Tufan is much safer as he’s not as technical for me.
Regardless of who’s technically better, to progress we need to keep both. Because either would cost us a fortune to replace
Adama and Seri are the most technical footballers we have easily.
And Tufan scores goals, so keep them all if we can.
Seri has cost us a lot of goals this season to be fair. Maybe even more than he's directly helped create at the right end ('directly' being the key word there). Obviously his general play and influence overshadows this, and rightly so. Traore with an actual striker in front of him, and on his wavelength could be a real force. Tufan has scored the second most goals for us this season and has been involved in many more really good chances. They all offer completely different things, but they're all things we need. I wouldn't be happy to see any of them go, but in terms of us looking to win games Tufan's currently provided the most, regardless of circumstances (Traore being injured for so long, for example).
That's the nature of the play maker role though. Look at Bruno Fernandes' mistakes. In that position you have to be willing to risk it or else you're just playing safe sideways passes everyone hates.
Giving the ball away taking too many risks isn't necessarily relevant to the question of who is the most technically gifted player.
Seri is quite clearly an incredibly good technical footballer. Traore looks to be a very good one too. Tufan is a very good striker of the ball but a pretty average passer.

Tom Huddlestone was prone to these types of mistakes also, I remember a few times he got caught on the ball, it is just par for the course with these types of players. However, they all do a lot more good than bad.
Certainly Woods, Fig will go if there is a taker. Possibly Docherty if an offer comes in for him. Fleming is an interesting one, does Liam see him as a left-back cover or Greaves or will Fleming go out on loan again or be moved on? Callum Jones seems to be in limbo, he is 22 now, not sure what plans there are for him?
Woods, Fig, Doc, Sinik, Longman possibly are all players I could see leaving if we can move them on. Fleming too and then possibly Greaves if the money is right.
Yeah just throwing up periphery player names who I think could easily be makeweight to bringing new players in but not bloating the squad. Longman I think has a lot of potential but will need to have a good preseason I think.
If he wasn’t prone to the odd mistake, he wouldn’t be playing for us. The rest of his game is way above our level.
