Wouldn't think we'd be massively against it if we knew we could bring in someone a bit different to challenge Vokes, would you? MON doesn't seem to be a massive fan and he must be on £1m-a-year. Suppose for Harris, it'd be a bringing in a sure thing he loved working with. But wasn't the main reason he came to us to be nearer to Sheffield? So who knows? ? Who's the fit blonde? Was that taken at the Queens in Basford?

The player was signed on a free and has shown extremely limited ability as a striker, although he is a cert on penalties. We can hardly expect more than a nominal fee plus one more wage packet less. What we paid is completely irrelevant to the fee we might get for him Except he is worth little more than we "paid".

Really dont want to sell Gregory. Would be stupid - hes our only target man with any mobility. He will help others get into the game

So if we get rid of Gregory who is going to come to a club in danger of relegation? Their wages might be lower but anyone who thinks we would actually get anybody better than Gregory in during a January window, a time of year when all in form, half decent players are just dying to leave their equally enthusiastic clubs looking to offload their better players, as a replacement really needs a reality check. Gregory going would not be good news.

He's very very average. I couldnt give a toss if he goes.

Gregory going would not be good news. Agree with this to a point, he's one of the players I prefer too. However since MON Gregory has looked less effective and Vokes more effective. If a decent price is on offer I'd do it, especially if we can get a decent loan in.

They are both average in the extreme and that's being kind to their abilities.

Was that taken at the Queens in Basford? Judging by the photo must have been "Grab A Granny Night"

MON seems like a pretty ruthless operator behind that charm of the blarney stone facade.
The much vaunted clear out is at last happening it would seem, albeit largely driven by loan deals.

But he does seem to be trying to get folks out who are simply wearing out the carpets at Clayton Wood albeit temporarily.

It must be very demoralising for third choice and young players knowing that there is virtually no chance of breaking into the first team. Having been an international manager and manager of small clubs, it must be daunting to MON to have a massive staff of 40 odd professionals. What's more we still have limited options for wingers or defensive MF and a serious lack of pace in the squad. Football is a team game and the manager's role is to find the system and combination of players that fits best. The potential combinations of players is infinite with such a large squad. He needs to prune hard to promote fresh growth. (That's a gardener speaking.)

For all the concern people had about this experience being in lower leagues I wonder if it's really helping us now, I'm under the impression you see huge amounts of movement in the squad typically at those levels and there is just much more 'ruthlessness' if you will. You always see a significant number of players released pretty much every season, and they're all on such short contract often.

We’ve next to no hope of selling anybody by all accounts. Allen and Butland maybe but If Pieters is anything to go by it’ll be far far below their actual value. Suppose players are only worth what someone is willing to pay.

Really don't see why this one would be a loan?
Hopefully that's wrong or people are just taking the piss.
