Of course Innis, and Jach arent serious. I even put Jach in brackets to help you out. Just trying to drum home how many players we have in that position.

If someone comes in with a decent offer for Sakho we should let him go. But I'd rather let Cahill and/or Dann go, because of they are 33 and Sakho is 30. Really it depends on who other clubs are looking to buy.

Similarly, if Kouyate goes it wont be worth worrying to much about.

McArthur is now 32. He's been a great servants and I admire his effort, but he won't last forever. Similarly if one or two of Meyer, Reidewald, Kouyate, McCarthy go it wont be too bad for the club. Again it depends on who wants our players. Age is the driving factor for me.

Benteke, Wickham, even Ayew wouldnt be a big loss. I still have some hope that we might get a new manager in who might play to Benteke or Wickham's strength at some point next season, actually making use of £40m worth of combined investment. But if Benteke goes, it would leave us with no out and out striker and we'll get stung if we dont already have a replacement set up.

The problem with a lot of supporters is that whilst they are crying out for investment. They also kick up a huge fuss if a fringe player or two have to leave to free up the wage bill.

I rate Sam Woods quite highly personally.

I think he meant last season, went to Hamilton I believe and got injured!,

According to Dazza we have interest in Edouard, but even if the £40m would come down to £30m after negotiations that is I suspect way above our price range? According to Dazza, we are negotiating with Mainz about Mateta? If that comes off, great. But if not, not sure who we'd turn to, as Watkins looks likely (rumour has it!) to sign for Villa. Possibly Bats as he seems to be very rapidly becoming surplus to requirement at Chelsea, and his asking price and salary accordingly lowered?

My guess is Chelsea are holding out for big money the question is how desperate are they to sell him. I suspect we have a decent relationship with the club because of our prior dealing so it's just a matter of the price the player already knows the club.

If no one offers what they want and they decide to drop the price I fancy our chances.
