I've got a feeling this could be...

[stss30]

A very busy transfer window coming up for us. I think Gus has finally realized players like Harley, Dicker, Barnes etc would simply not be good enough in the Premiership, which is ultimately what the club are trying to achieve. The possible termination of Vicente's contract to free up more of the wage bill, and also whether CMS will be a Brighton player at the end of the month means we could be seeing a lot of new players coming in (if Gus has lined up suitable replacements).

Generally speaking Gus has done very little in the January windows in the past. Players that have been released have gone at the end of the season, although if he did get offers in for them, I'm sure he wouldn't stand in their way. He's managed to resist offers for our better players, keeping them until we'd achieved safety or the title in respective seasons.

That is a good point, but don't quite a lot of contracts run out at the end of this season?

Yes, as did Navarro's last season. As I pointed out, players at the end of their contracts have gone in May generally since Gus has been here.

Nothing will happen until the last 3 hours

Honestly can't see a lot happening . Few leaving . 1 or 2 in

Not just that, there is the fact that we are not firing on all cylinders too, Vicente is nowhere to be seen and some of the peripheral players are either not good enough or just not being considered by Gus and Turricco.

 

[BensGrandad]

I agree it could be a busy time but I don't hold a lot of hope. I think that we will see 1 or a maximum 2 signings possibly loans and unless he receives silly offers I cannot see Harley. Dicker and Barnes leaving as they are all squad players. I think that he will see how this season pans out then make big moves at the end of the end of the season in the signings market with a number of ins and outs either out of contract or sold.

You don't think that would be a lot?

 

[Napper]

Not particularly . Do you ?
I would be suprised if we spend much/anything.

I maybe suprised though

I'm not sure exactly why you think Gus has decided Barnes isn't good enough. Maybe the others but I would be surprised. As or Vicente's contract, if it was terminated it would be at a cost. If Vicente is likely to be out until the end of his contract in June, why would he agree to an early termination unless it was on the basis his contract is paid up in full and therefore not actually releasing any funds for other players!!!!

He's been dropped to the bench and with the amount of chances he's missed this season he clearly wouldn't be good enough for the Prem. As for Vicente, I would imagine he'd mutually terminate his contract, I very much doubt he'd be worried about the money.

1 or 2 defenders in, 1 or 2 strikers in. Vicente to stay. Sparrow to go. CMS, Hoskins, Harley maybe to go.

Also just seen this on the Vicente thread.

On the way back where? Spain?

 

[danish seagull]

Barnes may not be good enough for the prem but he's definitely good enough to be part of our squad in my opinion. I'd settle for a big target man and maybe a big centre back. We might even score from one of our 10 corners a game then!!

He was a superb player in his prime and I doubt Valencia were paying him pennies. I wouldn't imagine money is a key factor to him.

 

[gripper stebson]

I think it could be busy for bad reasons

Buckley and Bridcutt will have been scouted by lower Prem teams for sure.

Prepare for a few 'f*** off Everton' style threads!

The only rumour I've read is that top of Gus's wish list is Sebastian Ribas, currently on loan to Monaco until January, 6ft 4" striker from Uraguay, apparently he wants to play in England.

Would that be first team regular Barnes or another one?
