Makoun going would be the last straw for me. Now its purely about who they get money for rather than any sort of team building.

Anyone who's not an automatic first choice and picks up more than average wages is available for sale. The stated strategy is a core of experienced players on competitive wages augmented by youngsters on low wages. I guess that is what they are trying to do.

The last straw for you? How about the people who actually go.

And as Luke Young suggests, those who ARE an automatic first choice and pick up more than average wages are also for sale.

At the moment J2M is behind Stan, Fab, Bannan, Ireland and probably Clark as well, in the midfield pecking order. Therefore, if he leaves and another defender is brought is, I don't see any problem with that.

I don't think AM is a fuckwitt so you tend to get rid of the bad players first not the good ones, and you'd have to be barmy to let Young and Makoun go before Beye or Warnock or ireland. Unless of course no one wants them and your desperate for cash....

I thought that it was well established that the reason we're not selling Beye or Ireland is that no-one is stupid enough to sign them.

I can't think of anything that Warnock has done wrong since McLeish has come in.

When we have a squad about 13 players, why would you want to get rid of Warnock?!

Better leave it there clamps. Don't want to render the thread unreadable while you learn how to post properly. Don't give up though Clampy, you'll get there one day. :0)

I thought it was made public that it was a clean slate, and that Ireland would be given a chance.  Seen precious little evidence of that.  Seems we prefer to flog a tumbling bear.

Yeah, but it doesn't mean you sell the better players anyway.

Makoun isn't one of the better players though is he ? He hasn't got any minutes in the league so far this season, hardly set the world alight when he played last season and didn't do too great against the mighty Hereford.
