The Expendables 2

[ijjysmith]

So in the last transfer window I started this thread:

http://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/46917-The-Expendables?highlight=Expendables

Pretty much the next day Rodwell was sold. Can't believe I put Jagielka to. How very misguided of me. (Just vaulted myself)

Anyway, if we were to sell now who would you not be arsed to see go? Tougher this time I think as we are low on numbers....again.

So for me it would be these:

Heitinga - not hidden my feelings on him recently. Could get an ok fee for him and let's be honest. His heart isn't in it.
Gueye - I think Moyes likes him, and bar 2 good crosses and a couple of goals he's a bit crap isn't he?
Mucha - What is the point?

Maybe send some Juniors, or Kennedys on loan.

Tough to see who else we could let go without making serious dents in our team.

Note - if Baines or Fellaini go anywhere this thread can be used for fuming.

A look at the bench v Chelsea says that anyone who goes needs to be replaced with experienced players.

I'd agree with that.

 

[Kurt.]

I reckon we should sell Chico and replace him with a Damon

 

[grandjoeblue]

Heitinga and Gueye for me.

All depends on who we sign, if we sign a keeper then obviously let Mucha go.

If we sign a striker and can get a decent offer sell Big Vic.

Gueye is pointless now. Pienaar, Oviedo, Vic and even Naismith would start on the left ahead of him. Doubt we'd get much for him though

 

[ijjysmith]

How much for Gueye so we think?

£750k?

Vic to the likes of Wigan
JH to Turkey
Gueye is not wort enough to be too worried.

10m for Barkley ?

Any offer around a million and we snap there hands off

Honestly wouldn't sell Vic.

I'm not a fan, but he's looked better this year. Just need him to keep fit. But we still need back up.

Out:
Mucha - pointless, get Gordon
Heitinga - still a good player, and played well(isn) on sunday, but he's also somebody we could get £4-5mil for him (hopefully)
Gueye - he is awful
Hitz - be happy for him to stay, but if we had a better replacement lined up, then he wouldn't be a big loss

In:
A striker who's better than Vic - loan (pref.Belgian)
A midfielder (pref. Belgian)
A no.10 (preferably Belgian)

We should keep vic now hes improving . Gueye heitinga outs . Unlike last year we have got rid of most of the dead wood and those 2 players are the only ones who need to go . We really need ken to dip into his pocket this window as theres nothing left to sell

...we are so thin on the ground that players are only expendable if they can be replaced with superior quality. Probably players that fall into that bracket are those already quoted, Victor, JH and Gueye. Vic would be ok but he's injured so often that it could be worth letting go and there will probably be a few takers. Velios might be snapped up but I can't see him bringing in much dosh.

 

[Huyton Layne]

I'd like to see Duffy go out on loan. Lad needs to play and clearly he's expendable as 7 first team defenders could get food poisoning and Moyes would drop Osman to RB to play Neville CB before the poor lad get a chance.

 

[Christiffa25]

Heitinga and guaye are the obvious ones. As said tho... Heitinga can only be moved on if there's a replacement.

Vic's a tricky one... Based on his performances I'd say keep him and he'd be an able backup for jelavic.
Based on his injury record vs value it's got to be tempting to sell him. We can't rely on him being fit enough to be available enough.

Having said that the fact we try to survive off having 1 first choice striker, backed up by just a injury prone player who's not often available tells you everything about what moyes has to work under.

 

[Saliba]

Keep Vic, too many people have their minds made up about him. He's been playing some decent football.
