Just listening to Pullis it seems he needs to bring some money in before we make anymore signings. Who can he actually sell to generate some cash? The only one player I can see is KJ but based on his performances since we signed him it will be at a massive loss. Do we actually have any saleable "assets"?

Someone would pay £5m for KJ.
Thing is the amount he has spunked away on average, ageing players is immense and he's now regretting it as he's found himself with the cheque book locked away and nothing of note that he can sell to raise funds.

The only players we could sell for big cash are Huth, Shawcross and Bego. Might get 5m for KJ, or Wilson. Rest we'd be lucky to swap for a gobstopper and a copy of the Beano, either coz they are too old (crouch) or shit.
I'm not inc summer signings in this comment

Some chickens are coming home to roost. Yup over £80m wasted on a squad with no flair,pace or resale value. |

Whitehead. To anyone.
KJ obviously
Maybe even Jerome if we can guarantee 2 more strikers in (although I like him, but clearly TP just prefers SUPERjon)

When you think about it Pullis has wasted millions. Like you say the chickens are coming home to roost and I'm worried. |

KJ
Higgy
Shotton
Whelan
Whitehead
Now I'm not saying that we should move them all on, but I'd say these are our sell-able assets that we wouldn't really miss I reckon combined there about 11m there give or take

Kenwyne and Jerome are clearly out of favour and we should try and sell them ASAP while they still have any value.
Shame really because they would be my two starting strikers before Crouch and Walters.

This is where Pulis' favourite pasttime of signing older players who've only played in England and nowhere else will come back to bite him on the arse.
Southampton are looking at that Ramirez youth, alright it's a lot of money but if they went down they could probably recuperate a large portion of that fee, other teams like Wigan take advantage of their scouting network and pick out players they think will do well and actually give them a chance in the team Palacios, Moses, Rodallega, Figeuroa being a few examples, I know Rodders has gone on a free but he was linked with 8-10 million pound moves not long ago.
To summarize, Pulis needs to get this buying old fucking crocks (Owen) nonsense out of his head and start looking abroad for some talent or giving our own younger players a chance, it's against every fibre of his being but if Coates wants us to become self sufficient then he's got no choice.
So far this season we've got Cameron in and are trying to sort Popov out, but it's taken us 5 years to sign our first foreign players, if we'd have exploited this market in the first place we probably wouldn't have spent anywhere near what we have on players so far and we almost certainly wouldn't be having this discussion about any saleable assets we might have, as we most likely would have sold a couple on for a profit.
Either start blooding the younger ones Tone or scrap all this "Right D.N.A" bollocks and take a chance on some foreigners or we're royally fucked.
