My understanding is that now he has requested a transfer formally he forgoes his loyalty payments and settlement of remaining contract. If he's on 80k a week thats 20million to end of contract.
Do we can assume that this will save saints 15-20 million if we sell. So a 50-55million sell is worth a 70million sell without transfer request.
I think we will now sell for 55 million to someone
The players I would like to see sold would be
Classie
Isgrove
Reed
The follwing to be loaned out for game time
McQueen.
Sims
Lewis
To buy, (15-20m each in terms of quality...e.g. Solid first team players)
We need a big strong tall DM
A good quality Cb
A big tall target man who can finish.
If we decide not to buy a striker until the summer we need to bring Sam Gallagher back. Would prefer to play a saints academy player with a potential good future for 1/2 a season rather than an inflated priced player who is not going to improve the team. I doubt anyone available in January will improve us unless they come with issues...
