Quote from: Newby on March 06, 2016, 11:05:01 AMWell, given our next three games are on the telly, the players can get a bit of shopping window exposure for the armchair fan. In many cases the p layers wages being off the books is probably worth more than their transfer fee. Except for, maybe Traore, Ayew and Amavi. The rest of them? Salary over transfer fee off the books.Are we on telly against Spurs?

Ok so lets go through those who should be first on the "out" list1. Richards -4m (someone will be stupid enough to buy the waster)2. Lescott - 1m to the MLS3. Cissokho - 1m (there will be takers)4. Bacuna - 500k anywhere! 5. Guzan - 1m MLS6. Sinclair - 2m to someone stupid enough7. Clark - 2-3m someone will buy him i reckon
Players we could sell and would actually get a buyer for:Guzan £1-2m to MLS.Baker £500k championship team.Sinclair £2-3m should have takers at promoted clubs.Robinson - £100k to Preston North End.Cissokho - £1m someone would buy him.Clark - £1m possibly to WBA, Sunderland or similar.Kozak - £3m to Celtic.Gardner £500k to Nottingham Forrest.Lescott - £1m to MLS.Players we might get a fee for if someone came in:Okore £3mGueye £1m back to France with us paying him off for lower wagesVeretout - £1-2m to another Prem team (Leicester were interested last season, might take him at a low enough fee).Ayew - £4-5m to a struggling Prem team.Gil - £1m back to Spain, but might have to give him a pay off.We might get £100-200k each for youth players like Donacien, Green, Steer etc but not more as unproven.*Edit Forgot Amavi who I think after half a season we could £5m for.Leaving everybody else, where I think we are looking at free transfers, and possibly having to cover part wages to get rid.Have said elsewhere that I think the board will sell any player that we have an offer for. Their focus will be on wage bill reduction.
With the exception of Amavi, Ayew and perhaps Veretout, I wouldn't give you a goldfish and a balloon for the rest of them, the shit wankers.
I wonder how many of those listed as flops would do very well with good players around them?

He's a young player in a new country who's had some injuries. I wouldn't write him off at all yet.
