I am fully with you and would like us to keep players for strength in depth. I would have liked us to keep Ali Al Habsi incase anything happened to Jussi and for when Jussi hangs up his boots however we where offered ?4m for a player who was not in OC first 11 so he cashed in so he could strenghten the team with the funds. For this reason I could see him doing the same SHOULD an offer come in for Fabrice.

 

We sold Ali Al Habsi to competition so I could see us doing the same again. Unfortunatly we do not have the spending power of City and cannot say that we will not sell to clubs in and around where we are.

 

Playing devils advocate I would say what if we turned down an ?8m offer for Fabrice for him to not get many games as he is third choice and him to walk on a free after running his contract down.

 

Just my opinion but I think if large offers come in for any player that are not in OC starting 11 then we would probably sell being in the financial situation we are in.

 

We have another benchwarming goalkeeper in Bogdan. and Lainton has made the step up to be third choise for one position.

 

NRC SH & FM - any two from three with one benchwarmer

If a ?4m bid came in for bogdan then I think we would sell. The point I am making is that I think that OC would take any large cash bids for benchwarming players and Muamber IMO will be a benchwarmer when Stu returns in a few weeks.

 

I also personally think that Pratley and Mavies are also in contention for central midfield, it becomes 2 from 5 then with youngsters like that connolly and vela in the pipeline.

Birch, no offence but I hope you're never in charge of our transfer policy or we'll end up playing 5 a side.

i'd take him more seriously if he could spell the fellas name right

Thought Connolly was a centre back?
