Keane, Dos Santos and Bentley more than likely I think will be let go, But with the season we have ahead, and the injuries we have had so far, I very much doubt Bassong and Palacios will be going anywhere on account of being lower down the order or not in form. That would be very short sighted. Im surprised people even think either should be let go.

Why on earth would Palacios go? The guy is starting the majority of our games at the moment!!!

There's no way we should let anyone go who is playing a part in the first team squad.

Palacios, Jenas and Crouch all play at times and letting any of them go now would be ludicrous.

Bentley, Keane, Dos Santos, Kranjcar and O'Hara rarely kick a ball for us so we can sell them with no problems.

Bringing in Beckham short term is fine with me and obviously a striker is our top priority. If we can convince Villa to sell us Ashley Young and Everton's Steven Pienaar then great.

Out: Bentley, Giovani, OHara and Keane.
In: Beckham, Pienaar, Diarra and the best striker we can get.

So really just upgrading on the outgoing players and strengthening the squad.

In: Beckham on loan, Pienaar on the cheap and a top striker.
Out: Bentley on loan, O'Hara, Kranjcar, Giovani, Keane

I think thats realistically what will happen. Not sure who the striker will be, maybe Llorente. If we cant get a top striker on a permanent then Fabiano on loan would make sense. Then we can try for a top striker (or Fabiano if he impresses) next summer.

Nice idea, but your prices are insane...

you have to remember that a transfer value isn't dictated by the fans. Therefor you have to put on your old trust realistic hat.

O'hara = 3m
Palacios = 8m
Bentley = 7m
Kranjcar = 6m
Pav = 9m

You think Bentley is worth more than Niko? Really?

No, no I don't. But I think seeing as Kranky was near enough a free transfer Levy and co. will not seek the same value for money as they would on Bentley who cost an arm and a leg.

I just want a striker who actually suits our style of play. Top of my list is Radamel Falcao - fast reactions so gets lots of scrappy goals, great in the air for a little guy, and works his bollocks off for the team. Basically a cross between Lineker, Tim Cahill and Tevez. Alternatively, a proper beast of a target man like Llorente or Pogrebnyak.

Id like to point out that Im the only one who asked for a clean sheet, and I got us two in a row. Sometimes its the little things in life that can be so sweet.

reckon o'hara's more than 3 mill. was outstanding last season and on a long deal i think

There's still no return date for O'Hara, so I can't see him moving anywhere this window. Who's going to buy a player with a chronic back injury?

Really like Falcao too and is the type of player who could do really well in the Premiership.
