[The big clear out] How much money can we raise ?

[OmarsComing]

We paid Crouch and Palacios to leave though. They received part of the transfer fee to go to Stoke for lesser wages. I absolutely guarantee that this happened.

how?

Gomes - 2m
Corluka - 6m
Rose 3m
Bassong 5m
Jenas - 5m
Giovanni - 4m
Pienaar - 6m
Townsend 1m
Huddlestone 12m - NOT THAT WE SHOULD SELL
Bentley 4m
Krancjar 7m
Defoe - 8m

Krancjar 7m

In no world is Kranjcar worth more than Pienaar. There is talk of Corluka and Kranjcar to Dinamo Kiev for £10m and i'd say the bigger chunk of that split would be to Corluka. Pienaar is going to get plenty of interest in England and it could turn into an auction, I'd expect at least 4 teams to be interested.

I agree with most that we won't sell Huddlestone, at least not this summer. If he struggles to get any game time next season then he may move on.

Oh an £4m for Bentley?!

 

[not_tenth-again]

Gomes - free
Alnwick - free
Cudicini - 1m
Corluka - 5.5m
Rose - 2m
Bassong - 5m
Jenas - 4m
Giovanni - 4.5m
Pienaar - 5m
Bentley - 2.5m
Kranjcar - 5m
Defoe - 10m
Modric - 28m euros (Sahin in exchange)

which also frees up about 20-25m in wages per year

No one has mentioned Falque.

Is he a keeper or did we just forget about him ?

(and I dont mean goal keeper)

We just signed him from loan this year so we must've seen something good. That said, Juventus apparently didn't, so who knows.

Well he won't have any real value at this stage and this thread was about how much money could be raised from sales

Also is he not of an age where his presence would not affect our squad size limit?

I'm sure he'd be loaned again

 

[michaelden]

I don't think the Hudd and Townsend are going anywhere

 

[$hoguN]

I think you are kidding yourself if you believe we will sell Huddlestone tbh

 

[jimbo]

Who in the innermost circles of hell is going to buy all these players?

 

[RickyVilla]

Why sell Rose and Hudd? Strange thinking indeed.

Hudd won't be sold but Rose apparently wants out and won't get much playing time with us

Where did you hear that about Rose?

 

[seanwhite1961]

Corluka - 5m
Rose - 1m
Bassong - 5m
Jenas - 5m
Giovanni - 4m
Pienaar - 5m
Krancjar - 4m
Bentley - 2m

 

[RickyVilla]

Jenas for 5mill sounds a bit unlikely and I think we would get more for Rose. I also doubt we could get that much for Bentley. What a waste of money that bloke turned out to be.

 

[AngerManagement]

Where did you hear that about Rose?

Its been posted on here several times, obviously I can't qualify it as anything more than conjecture but its certainly not implausible given his age and lack of first team opportunities (especially if VErts comes in from Ajax and is capable of covering BAE)

To be fair Rose could still be worth a loan to a Premier league club ala Walker, Naughton and Caulker.....give him an opportunity to prove himself as a week to week performer at this level and either give him a chance with us in the future or showcase him to raise more money when sold next season

 

[Bus-Conductor]

We're really struggling because players who would command some kind of fee, like Dawson, Hudd, Jenas that we desperately need to get off the payroll are all long term injuries and therefore it's hard to generate proper interest in them.

Players like Pienaar, Kranjcar and GDS should only be offloaded if suitable upgrades can be found (or upgrades of first teamers can be found making the existing first teamers into squadies) as they offer things that we don't necessarily have in abundance.

Desperately need to get off the payroll? Really???

I am 100% confident that no one at WHL agrees with you on that one.

 

[EZSpur]

Are we forgetting that if we're gonna make a real go of the Europa League, the FA Cup AND the league itself, then we're gonna need a lot of these players to stick around.

Like someone said earlier, i'd be surprised if we sell more than 3-4 players from that list.

 

[Mullers]

2 or 3 million for Bassong? Levy will never let that happen in a million years.
