With Ayew it depends if we have a clause allowing us to cancel similar to Chelsea with Abraham at Villa. If Cardiff want Mutch they are EPL too so will probably pay all his wages if a loan or we will release him by consent and he signs with them on a longer contract. Solorth we may have to pay a percentage of wages. this will be slightly less than 100k quoted probably about 40k in total from solorth and mutch plus Ayew who was on 50k at swansea

Can someone explain why Warnock would want Jordan Mutch in his team or squad for that matter?

Unfortunately, I don't think we are fine. We're desperate for a player who can put the ball in the back of the net.

We are losing too many points because of our poor finishing. I really wouldn't want to have to rely upon the return of Benteke or Wickham with their track records. Ayew and Sorloth are not even worth a space on the subs bench.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt

A lot I imagine will depend on Roy and Steve's confidence as to whether Bentenke can become a regular goal scorer again, and whether Wickham can stay fit. Furthermore, if both are fit and ready come January and we can't sell or loan them or Sorloth then there is no space for a fifth striker (if we can't cancel Ayew's loan). Personally I think Sorloth is the most likely to leave as he is the only one who is fit and there would probably be clubs outside of the PL willing to take him on loan.

Hopefully we can ship some players out in January that are nowhere near the first team and then reinvest the money. Selling Kaikai or Williams and then investing in Moses would be a big positive for me, as although I would like those two to break through it just doesn't seem like it's going to happen.

The fees for players that we would be willing to leave wouldn't add much to the coffers !
