Despite what Norwich fans say he did play 4-4-2 in the Premier with Elmander and Wolfwinkel up front, with 2 wingers Redmond on the left and Hoolihan often on the right side
Kaz and Ince plus £1million for Cairney?
Brilliant ........................... I really love the optimism of fans that teams will e queuing up to take what we don't need off of our hands. Not those two particularly.
To be honest I was sort of thinking along the same sort of lines. How do you get certain players off loaded. If we don't want them, why would others. And then I remembered Wigan paid £2m for Grant Holt. Always plenty of suckers out there.
Ince won't be in the Championship next season
Though Ince was well regarded when out on loan last year, and Kaz on his day is exceptional and may draw interest (see QPR).
I take your point, but not that far fetched I would suggest.
Edit - I realise you said not those two, but thought I'd add to Ince and Kaz.

If they're not with us, I can see them possibly being snapped up by a newly promoted team.

That's the only thing we're missing and it's that real quality midfielder that dictates things and makes things happen...this is why we can't quiet control games but if it means winning all the time as it is you certainly can't complain
This is why we miss kayal....

Furthermore, if Fulham are aiming for the Premier League too, why on earth would they be interested in those two? I think you will find their sights are set a lot higher.
I don't think Will Hughes is quite as quick as Cairney or Kayal, either as an athlete or as a quick thinker?
Lot to be said for football brains as Rohan Ince and Kazenga Lualua are probably a shade quicker athletes than all of the midfielders mentioned. Good athletes but not so good footballers. Ince and Lualua also have technique so it is easy to think they are better than they are in reality?
I would be scared stiff of forking out £10 million on the likes of Lookman, Oliver Burke, Scott Hogan in case they flatter to deceive!?

It is only against the three man midfield of Fulham including Cairney we have trouble with and then only in the absence of Beram Kayal. Howson (Norwich) and Shelvey (Newcastle) are not quite so much of a problem.

Great player but we are very strong in midfield assuming we keep Stephens. Cairney and Hughes must have been targets before for newly promoted EPL clubs

It was good to see Kayal warming up on the pitch at Fulham. It's worth going to the cup game just see him play.

Cairney wont be available for less than 10 million
