with Adama I think it's going to be about the money as much as anything - could we afford to keep him on a basic of £45k a week if we go down, assuming we've not put in a relegation clause?

Richardson, Senderos, Nzogbia are all up at the end of the season anyway.

Guzan, Kozak, Bennett, Okore, Lescott and Hutton are out of contract next season. I'd be looking at selling Guzan, Lescott, Bennett and Kozak now if we are going to get any sort of fee for them rather than letting them tick down.
I thought they gave Bennett a new contract before oaning him out like Baker, I may be wrong though.

Ayew will be gone, he is already attracting interest in this window let alone when we get relegated and more than likely Gil will be off!
Veretout might go and Adama with his wages a distinct possibility.

It will be a totally different side in the championship to now, which may not be a bad thing, although we will still have the dregs, but it will entail a lot of ups and downs.

Only a 1-year extension, expires next summer.

Maybe I sound like an ignorant Premier League fan who's been spoiled for his entire lifetime, but with the clichéd extra yard of space in the Championship, Adama would surely excel?

I think the same of several of our players too: Okore, Veretout and Sinclair spring to mind. And as crap as he's been, Gestede's record at that level is half decent.

I wouldn't be relying on Sinclair and Gestede anywhere. They've both really only had an 18 month period of their career which was any good and aside from that the rest is shit.

Matt Phillipsv would be a great signing. If Leicester don't want Nathan Dyer and Swansea don't either he would too.

Anyone else think we should have a go for Shelvey? Poor season at Swansea, clearly not happy, but would add a lot to our midfield IMO.

talented player but with an appalling attitude

seems to be on the Agbonlahor diet this year too

team needs a new spine, some of the rest may improve if we got some leaders into the dressing room

Bournemouth sign Grabban from Norwich. I wonder if Callum Wilson is going to be fit, and sold.

I said we should be looking at Wilson this summer.  Now they have Grabban for stood money even more so

Wilson won't be back this season so Bournemouth just covering themselves, they've done very well to get the points they have with likes of Josh King upfront.


No chance they'll sell him imo....maybe Glenn Murray will be available though, he got 20 + in the championship a few seasons ago.

Sunderland signing Dame N'Doye on loan. We could have done a lot worse, seemed to do well for Hull in the second half of last season.

A bit like someone we already have?
