    I think you have over priced all of them personally. I would loan Hjelde and get rid of the rest personally. They arent good enough seemingly, for Regis, so get the wages off the books and create space for a buy or two, and academy lads to get a taste. Bennette will be a free I reckon. The others nominal fees at best. They really havent shown anything of note here and we will cut our losses I reckon. Let the lads have a chance elsewhere and help them on their way with a low fee.

    i believe we paid €3m for Rusyn, so that would be a massive loss on a player who hasn't really had a decent run in the team and still has plenty of career in front of him, he was highly regarded when be bought him and we weren't the only club looking at him. Abdoullah Ba, who turned 21 in the summer, cost us around €1m and he has racked up an impressive 73 appearances for us according to wikipedia, the idea that he has went backwards in the last 2.5 years despite playing so much is obviously incorrect but he is currently out of favour and that impacts how supporters perceive him and his current value. Aouchiche got an assist last week.

    I just dont think, as a buying club, I would be investing much in them. They know we dont want them, really. Ba is literally an extra in the squad under Regis, and Rusyn not far behind. I would be starting my offers at free tfrs if I wanted them. I also think, as a club, we could do the decent thing by them and ease their next move a bit. They arent bad lads, they havent let us down and they deserve a chance at a good career elsewhere.

    On Jobe, he had a fluke long rest with his ban, and of course we are short of numbers, hence no rest yet for Chris Rigg. Jobe is outstanding and getting better, is on a deal until 2028 I think. Look at some of the players sold from the championship recently. He is worth much more than £15m right now.

    Would accept all of those, apart from Hjelde. A loan move would suit him/us better.
