Sold to who? Cannot see much of an auction for those three.

Exactly.

We can only sell players other teams want.

Much more likely to be Willis, Stevenson and Haynes.

I know Stevenson hasn't pulled up any trees lately, but he has attracted interest before.

We might just get away with being able to sell Haynes if we are lucky.

Don't like selling our future surely to ease finances could we not see it we can loan out fringe players. There are players who could be loaned out without too much damage ie positions where we have good cover . I think the money we would receive for the usual suspect at the moment would not justify the sales.

Vincenti is supposed to be a good player but it's not happening for him here cant see who would have him but any or all of the following to try and bring hopefully some better players in
Vincenti, Stevenson, Devon KE, Haynes, Willis, Beavon, Biamou plenty to choose from

I know things can change, but didn’t Eakin say at the end of the match broadcast that Robins told him players coming in and going out in January will all be loans?

Nazon, Ponticelli out. Possibly Willis and Stevenson.

Beavon, That winger on loan at Colchester and that centre back at Thistle.

When you’re building a squad-Why would we get rid of anyone else?

I don’t know what people expect from players in the last tier of English football-they will make mistakes and won’t score from every shot. If they did they wouldn’t be playing for City!

We have a very strong squad (for the first time in years) if we had have lost our 2 best players to season ending injuries in the past we would have sank. But it’s testament to our squad depth (and excellent youth team) that we seem to be riding out our bad luck.

Not to say that we can’t improve the squad but it’s bloody ridiculous to get rid of Biamou and Vincenti.

What???????????

Has my irony filter gone on the blink?

A lots gonna depend on how quick any offers come if any at all. If a early bid is tabled for anyone I can see it being taken to reshape the team and likely the books if the rumours are to be true.

The squad needs attention now not in another 4 weeks, deals need doing asap.

Turnbull - will remain on season long loan.
Reid - loaned out again or offered for free. His wages need gone off the books and that will help the incoming a lot id imagine.

Willis - touted
Stevenson-touted
The squad - offers listened to.

More interestingly be interesting to see how MR relationship with Nazon goes in the next 2 weeks to see if he remains

Robins has said he will balance the books if players come in.

For me Biamou, Beavon, Vincenti should be sold for 3 perm signings.

Loan out some of the fringe players like DKEs of new loan players of quality come in.

None of those will go, they're experienced regulars and I do not think there is sufficient money to replace any of them.

Meanwhile Jordan Turnbull, Kyle Reid and Kwame Thomas are the players I think Robins would like to get off the books.

Notice the squad is absolutely packed with 18 to 20 year old players, but Robins only plays a few in a game (yesterday for instance 2 young players started, Bayliss and Shipley and DKE came on for the last 5 mins) but this is the conveyor belt of talent that is developed and sold, which is why I think either Stevenson or Haynes might go for a fee. I don't think Robins will want to lose Willis unless it is absolutely necessary to balance the books because he is an integral part of a solid defence.

There are no guarantees on Nazon.

He might not want to extend his loan and stay and he is not a regular starter for a reason, which I think is lack of fitness.

It would not surprise me if he is swapped for another player.

What I've heard, admittedly this was a few weeks back.

Villa kid? Could it be one of those who played in the FA youth tie?

Hepburn-Murphy the one who Mowbray tried to get on deadline day?

The squad isn't that strong atm, we have lost Kelly from midfield and love or hate the tactics we have conceded a few goals now since his absence and apart from young kids, who have come in and done a reasonable job, we have nobody that can come in and say to Kelly or Doyle for that matter I have the shirt now try and win it back, as I have written before it takes a while to build a decent squad and lets not underestimate Robins task, he came in late last season and shored up a woeful team, won a cup and raised certain players games, had a massive clear out closed season and brought in a complete new team of 12 players, he has us bubbling around the play off places so its definitely a work in progress.
I think he cannot be 100% pleased with some of the ones he has brought in and been unlucky with the injuries to Jones, Andreu and Kelly so IF and its a big if Shitsu are here for a while longer lets hope they realise the potential and back Robins to get us out of this league

Haynes for a fee? Lol.

It's not funny.

There will definitely be a fee. Might be we have to pay someone a hundred grand to take him off our hands.

Nazon has London based agent. Not heard anything specific but wouldn't be surprised if there was interest from Charlton

From what I've seen, and heard about Nazon, I don't think he would make the step-up to Charlton's level. He should stay with us and concentrate on getting himself fully fit and learning about football being a team game - he is clearly quite a prospect, but we have said that about others before him, and written off others who have gone on to score goals in higher leagues.

Nazon won’t stay. What’s the point in being second fiddle to Biamou. Wolves can’t be impressed either.

There’s no way I’d like to see Nazon out. Him and McNulty could form an excellent partnership, the more they play together the better the understanding will get, they can both easily get 15/20 goals this season. That’s what they on target for at the moment.

It seems MR has his man management skills cut out with both. We need goals and both of these two have goals in them. Time to kick on.

Nazon needs to realise he has ability and skill and abundance but that Wong get him anywhere without the effort and work rate and fitness.

In my opinion, our stark problem area is width, both on the left and the right winger.

Baylis looks very promising and seems like a new signing.

He's not second fiddle to Biamou, they are different players.
I like to see Nazon in the side, although he's never been good for 90 minutes, but he doesn't win the ball.

And on another point. I don't believe most rumours
After all, according to some on here with inside knowledge, Stevenson and Willis were sold last January.
Certainly Stevenson hasn't looked the same player since he moved to Brentford !

I am sure Wolves are disappointed with his attitude.

I’m sure they will find a club prepared to play him above a “striker” whose not scored or looked like doing so in 18 games.

There different types of players. Nazon cannot lead the line. Nazon is better suited to play in behind a lead man.

Biamou can’t lead the line or actually do very much at all - they sure are different Nazon scores and creates goals. Biamou er doesnt.

I think that says a lot about his attitude. Sometimes players need to stop feeling sorry for themselves and get on with it. Not shifting a non scoring striker says a lot, and he has been given plenty of opportunity.

How can you say Biamou cannot lead the line? Take the obvious fact of missing goals away from it temporarily and take a look at the work Biamou does to get the team out and up the pitch and how he links up play.

Biamou can and has improved a lot since he arrived at doing just that. Biamou has helped create goals and opening for goals.

im not having letting biamou go at all hes a top player wins loads of headers and works very hard. Hes been very unlucky infront of goal and im confident he will get us 10 this season at least.
As for vincenti im not quite sure how he made it as a footballer and beavons legs are long gone. Wont get any money but can free up wages
