Or conversely we loan them out for a year with a view to boosting their values - none of those who have gone had a particularly good season last time so seems sensible rather than sell at a loss.

We should loan James Wilson for the season to bolster our attacking line up. They say they don't want to loan him out yet until LVG assesses him but with RVP's imminent return he's hardly going to get a look in.

I suppose with Riise we would then have two players in him and Richardson who could play either left back or left midfield.  I can sort of see the point in it, especially if he's not on big wages.

Alright Risso where you been?

What have you seen of him to make him worthwhile? He got a couple of goals on his debut so there might be something there but his record in age groups is not too dissimilar to Robinson so I'd rather give our own kid a chance.

I'd rather us take Nick Powell from them. Can play up front, as a "number 10" or in midfield. I think he's going to be a great player.

He's still young enough not to take-up a squad place too, I think.

I'd be happy with Powell, I think he's the only player they have who is likely to be available for loan that I'd be interested in.  I  think Kagawa could be good but I think they want to just sell and I can't see us being willing to pay what they'd want.

Is loaning out all these players Lambert stubbornly refusing to believe that they can't make it here or can we just not get anyone to buy them? Realistically, how many of Luna, Helenius, Sylla, Tonev, Bennett, Lowton and Stevens are likely to ever be Premier League regulars?

Apologies if this has ben mentioned previously but Joe Bennet has gone to Brighton on a Season long loan. Another Left Back bites the dust .........................Godzvilla!

He's a whore for a left back. I think he needs rehab to get him off this addiction.

Cameron was very good for the USA in the world cup much to my surprise. I would not be against him signing at all, covers centre half and right back. IF we signed him it would be a further indication that being as solid as possible is the primary aim. I would still like someone of the ilk of a Blanco type that could get people off their seats going forward. I say type as I have never seen the player himself, but tricky attacking midfielder with skill and flair.

He's got a great shot and was excellent as part of Brazil's 94 World Cup winning side but he might be past his best now.

Makes sense, but on the flip side of that they could be garbage during their loan, making them unwanted by other clubs and meaning we are lumbered with them.  The likes of Bennett are going to be on more money than most Championship sides could afford, so I suppose a loan suits them really.

bin dippers have apparently agreed a  £16m  for Mario Balotelli. From one nutter to another, but will make for interesting viewing if it comes off.

Balotelli is always good against us unfortunately.

he'll have some very good games because he is a very good player underneath all of the nonsense. The challenge is can he keep it altogether without something blowing up during the season?

entirely possible. Or someone elses bathroom - equally possible.
