I don't have this much info but I do know its a number of clubs inc one prem club interested. A lot of these deals have too many dynamics but if the price is right then sell.
What's he worth £2mill tops?
IMO, he's got to be worth more than £2m to us.

But we now have Ulloa, CMS, Hoskins and Barnes all fit I presume (perhaps CMS is a month or two away?). The only striker I'd ringfence from sale is Ulloa, but Barnes has served us well and I'd be gutted to lose him.

Shame to see him go if he does, but if we get a decent fee and we can get a decent replacement in, then fine.

I wouldnt say his price is £1 Million though. We cant really get a decent replacement for that.

This would make sense as in theory we have too many so-so strikers (CMS, Hoskins, Barnes) who can all potentially partner of Ulloa, but not replace him. Selling Barnes, making a tidy profit and getting in another (better) players (perhaps from Spain) works well for me.

As long as we had an idea who we would replace Ulloa with in the event he scores 20 goals before January and attracts PL attention.

I think it's quite clear that the club need to sell before buying, and I'd rather see 2 or 3 potential squad players sold then just one biggy like Bridcutt.

Ryan Harley will be off for ANY price

I think Harley may stay......as a support striker/advanced midfielder, I think he will feature...maybe from the bench most of the time. Gus never played him in that role where he made his name, the same gripe you Barnes supporters have when trying to justify one of his bad performances.

I think there will be a few surprises in who plays under Oscar. Remember this is basically a fresh start for the entire squad. good news for JFC, March, Harley and possibly the likes of Ince and Maksi.

Who is Soriano? Have I missed something?

Used to play for Oscar at barca B, just a rumour from football rumours site. He has 2 years left on his contract at Red Bull Salzburg so will not come cheap. Can't see it happening unless selling Barnes pays for it :smile:

Neecha is the only source we have on NSC at the moment, why does he get abuse?

I'd hate to sell Barnes at a cut-price just for him to go on to score 20 goals next season :facepalm:
