Forbury LionWhat's the budget?Big Foot Who would you bring IN?
Who would you ship OUT?
What are the board requirements?
Personally, I would expect it to be a case of reduce numbers/wage bill and perhaps if lucky £150k available for a striker unless transfer funds come in, in which case that will increase.
Requirements - push for play offs on a shoestring.
So, on the above I would work backwards and pick the players that I need to keep and everyone else can go. Priority has to be a striker and the budget won't allow for a Dave Kitson or even a Jamie Cureton, So we're looking for a Lloyd Owusu.

Because they say they can't afford his wages. I wonder whether we've offered to pay some of his wages whilst he is out on loan. Would seem a sensible thing to do!

Svlad Cjelli You can't always just "get rid" of players who are under contract - even if another club does want them they may not be prepared to accept the cut in wages. (Would you?)
So if you have to pay off a player's whoel contract you save nothing.

Snowball I really can't remember Howard doing anything worthwhile when he came on at Hull.
Antonio, though, made a big difference and he will frighten defences.
I believe it will hurt us to lose Fedders but we need to look to the future. Sign him on a new contract with an escape clause, or allow him to go for a bit of money (probably meaning mid-table this season) and develop Anderson/Mcarthy.
To just drift close and closer to him going for nothing, and starting a new season with a new keeper seems bonkers.

Snowball Know nothing about Bignall out on loan but thought he looked VG
when he scored two in the League Cup. Looks the sort of player
who needs a big/tall partner and they work as "Smash and Grab"
Would not surprise me to see him do well in a couple of years

He's started 3 games with 5 subs and scored no goals in his spells at Saints and Bournemouth so far this season. His overall record is 28 (17) 7 - which isn't overly impressive but not awful either. Church's loan record wasn't great and he's doing pretty good for us now.

To be fair, they signed him for £1 million, and they won't let him go for anything less than £3 million, surely. No amount of wheeling and dealing will enable us to afford that, or indeed his wages if we could afford the transfer fee.

What does "worthwhile" mean? Didn't play a defence splitting pass setting up a chance? Didn't score a 20-yard free kick? Worthwhile is very subjective and one of those things you can't measure by statistics in my opinion, and what Howard did do was something neither Karacan or Leigertwood are equipped to do - find space in the middle of the park, pick the ball up off the defence and set up attacks, something he does very effectively. I would also point out that this sort of player is exactly the sort of player that Reading fans never seem to take to. The previous incumbent of that role was one James Harper.

saints fans still rave about antonio,so why not bite the bullet and offer him in px.much as i like antonio,i dont think hes getting the match time his displays deserve. having said that,cant help thinking that lee barnard would be a much better option from saints.
