Regardless of wether there’s money available we need to move a few out before any ins for the balance and good of the squad 

Probably right Looking at the squad at the moment, without factoring in any of the youngsters, apart from Baker, Thorniley and Penney, and discounting long term injury concerns, Winnall, Lee and Hooper, we have 25 players, which is about right.

Breaking that down, its 3 keepers, 9 defenders, 8 midfield, and 5 strikers. If we don’t bring anyone in, we could probably offload one of the senior centre backs, and some of the U23s. I think looking at that, we may need to bring in an extra midfielder, if we arent going to, or can’t, use Abdi. Every other move, would depend on us replacing any player who might leave

I think we may see the departure of Van Aken, if he is fit. Dutch clubs will have noted that he isn’t getting game time, and he was much sought after when we signed him. We’ve seen no real signs of the talent that supposedly attracted the likes of PSV, as he’s looked way off the pace, even in U23 games A loan move back to a club in the Netherlands might be on the cards

When we signed him had just had poor season which saw his value plummet. They had been hawking him around all season and we were daft enough to buy him. If he goes back on loan we would have to subsidise majority of wages. 

He apparently had one decent season but was then absolute rubbish hence nobody bought him. 

 

He is slow and reactions are non existent, for example at Sunderland geezer steamed in and he took full force of tackle rather than trying to jump.

Trying to offload over paid players is difficult and we have quite a few in this category.
