You think we would find a buyer for Ade in Jan.. or you thinking loan?
Also I like the idea of Cabaye. He seemed to make Saudi Sportswashing Machine tick and they fell apart when he left. However I don't think I have watched him enough to know exactly what he brings. Is he mostly a Carrick style ball-playing midfielder.
I'm more excited about the squad being trimmed to be honest. Get rid of those not in Poch's plans and let those remaining focus on learning his methods and style of play.
I think we'll have a relatively busy Jan:
Hope In: 2 * CBs, a CF (plus Yedlin), Konoplyanka (would be cheap given contract but think unlikely)
Hope Out: where do you start?!? Paulinho, Chiriches, Kaboul, Ade, Naughton, Dembele, Capoue,.....
Expect In: Moreno, Rabiot, a CF (poss on loan)
Expect Out: Chiriches (to Roma), Adebayor (loan), Paulinho (to Italy), Naughton (loan - given I think Yedlin will arrive), Capoue (loan)
Net Income (or Spend): more or less zero
I can imagine this being not too far from the truth...

I don't think there will be many incomings - Poch doesn't like the disrpution of them and already thinks we have far too many players.
We'll be busy on outgoings though, but it won't be anything like August 2013 hysteria levels
You want 2 new CBs, in addition to Fazio, Verts and Dier?
I wouldnt mind us signing someone with some experience, say 25 or 26 years old, and an up and coming CB - 19 years old say. All depends on how Fazio and Dier work out - Fazio to me looks very poor on the ball and like an Argie Michael Dawson - I can see him being a squad player but not good enough to be a first choice if we're aiming for top 4 (or perhaps even top 6). Dier, whilst having looked good so far, is still unproven
We already have a reportedly very talented 19 year old centre back in Milos Veljkovic though.
Oh, and disagree about Fazio on the ball, but you're not the only one making that observation so probably not worth a long discussion...
In preseason, the players that impressed were Veljkovic, Mason and Lennon. I could see Veljkovic making that step up soon.
Isn't he on loan?
On the bench at Middlesboro.
As someone whos not seen him, have to ask then why would he be good enough for us soon if cant get in the team at Boro? I appreciate things arent always black and white so not saying he's not good enough....
