Who needs to leave?

Sat Oct 18, 2014 9:43 pm

Russell Slade says that he wants to trim the squad so who do you want to see leave?

I wrote an article on my top 5 who need to go. Who are yours?

As usual any constructive criticism on the article is very appreciated http://worldinsport.com/who-needs-to-le ... ce=twitter

Also, I´m curious to see if Slade finds room for Dæhli in his four mans midfield. If not, I would not be surprised to see him leaving as well.

1. Cala
2. Connolly
3. Le Fondre
4. Kim Bo
5. Eikrem
6. Gunnarrson
7. Maynard
8. Burgstaller
9. Velijonka
10. Gabbidon

And yes I would have no qualms in seeing off Whittingham if he keeps producing decent games one in every 3 - it's not good enough for us but for now this clears the decks for Slade to wheel and deal and bring in better and younger quality and fighters.

If he's not looking to bring in then he can have two people for every position and lose:

Cala
Eikrem
Kim
Burgstaller
Guerra
Le Fondre

With Kim going on loan. Maybe look at getting a right back for back up and a centre half. If Dikcagoi is not going to make it he can go too and we'll need another centre midfielder.

R. Morrison is only here til Jan so maybe Slade will look to bring in another winger after that, unless of course we buy him as his WHU career is over.

Players the club will be looking to offload : Eikrem, Velonijka, Burgstaller,Kim, Gabbidon, Cala, Veljonka

Will ask for a move in january:
Guerra, will want to leave if he can't break into the squad, too good to be a squad player in the championship. Back to spain.
Daehli: If he finds himself outside the starting XI for a prolonged period which i can see happening if Slade prefers 4-4-2 with traditional wingers like Pilkington.
Ravel leaves in january anyway and especially if he plays well some other club will come in for him

Le Fondre's movement and work rate yesterday was great, he's been given little chance to play up top with someone with him

Can't believe anyone would want to get rid of Connolly & Gunnarsson!
Before his injury Connolly was one of our best performers this season & has constantly performed to a high standard at centre half since he's been here.
Gunnarsson has been hit & miss this season but has been stupidly played out of position at a no.10 role most of the time. When played correctly like yesterday he proves he's an excellent player at this level.
With regards to Burgstaller, he looked decent pre season & I would like to see him given a chance before discarding him personally.
I would also definitely keep Le Fondre as well as he is a proven goal scorer at this & a higher level & also gives you hard work & commitment.
The rest I'd pretty much agree with.
It's all about opinions though! :bluescarf:

Most of all, I'd say Vincent Tan...
