Tried to post this yesterday but may have made the press cancel rather than submit!

BR was asked the other day about the January window and gave the standard but at the same time sensible response that only if it improves the team.

Whilst I wouldn't mind a "better" player or two coming in January, surely January should be about getting rid either for good or loans.

Bailly, Fasan, Izzy, Boyata, Efe, O'Connell, Christie, Henderson, GMS, Commons, Ciftci and that's just off top of my head.

I wonder how much the above players weekly wage is?

Are any of the above on long term deals?

Cheers bhoys, HH.

There is no need to get rid of Christie and O'Connell, two of the better young talented players we have!

Kenlikeeh they would be better out on loan I agree with the op maybe not with all the players but trim the size of the squad down would make sense.

Or Henderson.

I would keep O'Connell, Henderson, Christie and Izzy if he is happy to be cover for Tierney.

In recent years we have brought in some good players and imagine we would do the same this year as we have cl gate money to spend.

I think BR will be looking to get rid of a few, he stated when he came in that the squad was far to big and he likes a first team squad of about 20.
We won't really see his team until the end of next summer.

There were a few from that list I'd prefer to keep but go out on loan.

There was a post yesterday that ended up with a very good B team, even the C team would finish top 6.

Need to trim, the wages saving could be used elsewhere.

Thanks for the replies bhoys, HH.

Easy to say but not many clubs are clamouring to sign many of those players. So, we either pay them off, run their contract or flog them cheap.
