Richards, Agbonlahor, a right back, Lansbury, Bunn. Would remove a hefty amount of money from the wage bill, won't happen though.

Lansbury can still do a job, we have a lot of games to play.

As for the first two jokers... £100k a week at least between them.

Lansbury could be a great player but has had a bad season with niggling injuries. Would be sad to see him leave

See Wolves are about to sign a 20 year old striker from Valences that Real Madrid were looking at this season. Prolific in their youth setup. Interesting to see how that works out.

Yes, I wonder how they are getting round FFP, theres no way their spending is matching their turnover surely?
It only applies to the Villa apparently.

The only decent appearance I have seen was his first when he was taken off after an hour or so as he wasn't match fit. I thought then he looked a really good buy but he's never been remotely convincing since

He hasn't looked fit for his whole time with us. It wasn't just the man bun that pissed me off last year, never seemed bothered about putting in a tackle or running generally. Fine goal at Leeds to be fair but surely fifth choice behind Jedinak, Whelan, Onomah and Hourihane for two spots. Think he is one we could let go.

Green is a very welcome addition back to the squad. Bound to put pressure on AA and Snodgrass. Could be huge for us second half of season.

Agreed on keeping Elphick, Samba won't stay fit and Terry can hardly be expected to play all remaining games.

He could be a great player, were it not for the fact he's shite at football.

If we are going to keep playing the way we did with a DM being so important, then maybe we should be looking for a player there as a third option to the Jedi/Whelan?

In a pinch and if both Elphick and Terry are fit I reckon Chester is more than smart enough to play there.

Never thought of Terry playing anwhere else. But now you mention it I could see him doing very well there.

Listening to Steve Bruce on Talkshite this morning he said that if anybody comes in it is likely to be a loan signing due to FFP.

I would much rather see us use a genuine midfielder there. Hourihane or Lansbury are capable of doing the job, particularly if they have Terry and Chester behind them.

Hinted it would be a forward as well, as he said Kodjia is likely going to be out for the rest of the season.

He's injured at the minute, but Lyden is a holding midfielder and could be that third option when fit.
