what players should we get rid of?

Tue Jan 07, 2014 2:19 am

It's all good getting new players to improve the team, and the players. But if we're making new signings we've also got to get rid of some players. Who do you think we should get rid of and why?

If you wish to promote discussion, perhaps you should start off by giving your opinion.

Its a squad game remember so whilst we know we have to improve the first XI, especially from an attacking sense, then we still need back up.

However, after this window then I would still expect the following to be surplus to requirements:

Maynard
Conway
Mason
Cowie
Brayford
Nugent
Velonijka
Lappin

Then after the summer window, assuming on the basis we survive then we should be looking to get rid of:

Mcnaughton
Hudson
Conolly
Taylor
Gunnarson
Odemwingie

I am giving Cornelius the benefit of the doubt for now, even though he doesnt look up to it, but with 4.5 years left on a reported big fat contract then its unlikely we could shift him even if we wanted.

Maynard, Moore, Gunnerson should we sign more mids.

Cornelius needs a one way ticket back to Copenhagen, only because his wage is huge for what he is offering which is not much

Realistically this window (based on the rumoured players possibly signing):

Conway: depending on he makes the final squad at the end of January.

Mason: only if more forwards come into the club, a loan move for Mason.

Velikonja: don't see a permanent transfer, OGS most probably want to see his forwards first, a chance maybe to go out on loan.

Maynard: recent rumours suggest a loan move. Been out of action for a while and difficult to throw into the deep end in this league. A chance to go out on loan and get games maybe the best move for him at this moment.


Other players are going to be needed as you need back ups at positions, some defensive minded midfielders when the game is dead and buried.

Whittingham the only extra but unsure about Mason, Ole might see a bright future for him. Brayford might stay as cover for KTC if rumours sre to be believed he hasnt played yet simply because he had a falling out with Malky. Otherwise excellent post.

Yes sorry forgot about him. Bang! hes gone! Now we can concentrate upon getting some quality in.

PS. Can I make a small request? No more corners as "assists" please. Its very detrimental to our hopes of avoiding relegation!
