Yer you need to frame your question in a more specific manner otherwise it's meaningless. Should really say who would you move on but more importantly how much would we get for that player then this would make the second part of the answer more realistic. So there's no point in saying I'd move on Waghorn for example knowing that he's on a free at the end of the season then say I'd bring in Bradley Dack to replace as that would require investment again. So both answers require some form of justification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 The only player who hasn’t really contributed this season who others might want and be willing to pay money for might be Lawrence but I doubt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with that in my book. personally, even though I think he’s more useful than his detractors think .. Lawrence would generate a decent fee and reduce a wage bill at the same time. Kind of a double win on the cash stakes This might mean we can keep the potential of Sibley and maybe sign someone at the sharp end to fill the fire power gap in the short term while we re structure.

RadioactiveWaste Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Lawrence and Waghorn are both established enough as championship players to be of interest, but i suspect no one else is going to match their wages. However, we might get a loan fee and free up a decent portion of wages on either of them to let us get someone in to see us through the season. Personally I wouldn't with either of them, and just be preying for better form from them both - they didn't become awful players since the summer but they have been playing very badly. Evans I could live with going, but we would have to get CB cover in as that's pretty much his job now and there isn't anyone else in the squad I's want to cover more than the odd game (e.g. Foz). Then you're just down to young players who might be worth more if we play em more or players we can't do without right now. Personnaly I see us selling Buchanan on dealine day (for an insultingly low fee) and loaning a rubbish past it striker and everyone watching Rooney trying to sound happy about it like it's what he wanted all along whilst he chews a wasp.

Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 The only players I'd be looking to move on at the minute would be ones coming to the end of their contracts at the end of the season (and are unlikely to be a regular first teamer next season) while we can get some sort of transfer fee. So this would mean: Andre Wisdom and Martyn Waghorn. Incomings wise, I'm liking the sounds of the 3 we've been most linked with (Phil Jones, Tom Ince and Oumar Niasse on loans and frees). I'd also be looking at some cheaper 'squad options' from the lower leagues to add some depth in certain positions. Dan Happe from Leyton Orient to provide cover for Matt Clarke? Jon Mellish from Carlisle to provide cover for Krystian Bielik? All dependent on us having the funds and the ability to bring players in, of course.

Millenniumram Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Evans is an obvious one who isn’t really at the level we need. Other than that, we really don’t have a squad big enough to be actively looking to sell players. Incomings are far more important at the moment.

Yes I agree. A 'win win' if we could achieve even half what we paid for Lawrence. If so, he should be sold. That sort of money could pay the wage bill for a few months while Mr Morris tries to find a genuine buyer for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the latest crew from the academy (knight apart) I would be saddest to see Buchanan go. He has become a man in the last 6 months and looks a real player. Seems to have the same level of attacking flair as Bogle and Lowe but woaah .. he can stop a cross, knows how to tackle and gets that he has defensive duties. I think he has real promise and a chance of hitting heights without all the hype that has come with other academy starlets . Quietly and effectively made himself a guaranteed starter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
