Three In And Three Out, Who Will It Be?
- Thread starter Jordinho
- Start date
Don't think we could afford to get rid of Soldado & Chadli in January
Paulinho, Capoue, Townsend, Ade can go in January with very little impact to squad in my opinion
Lamela (if he doesn't kick on), both Vlad and Kaboul, Dembele can go in summer
The question might be if we brought in the right players in January, would putting Lamela back on loan in Italy make sense?
Why on earth you would get rid of Chadli I dont know...

He may have scored a few goals being in the right place at the right time but he has not impressed me overall. he scores a goal but what else does he do for the rest of the game?
He's direct, and looks a threat when he runs with the ball. But regardless, just scoring goals isnt something to be sniffed at - he's one of only about three players that seem to know where the back of the net is.
Only once we are a team capable of scoring goals all over the park can we question someone whose main output is scoring goals....

I agree with what your saying but the fact he does score for me makes him unsaleable and we really are lacking a goal scoring threat.

Will almost certainly be more than 3 that we'll be interested in hearing offers for.
My guess would be something like: Naughton, Kaboul, Vlad, Capoue, Paulinho, Dembele, Townsend, Ade and Soldado.
I think who leaves and who stays out of that group (or one similar to it) depends most on the offers we get for the various players.

This too will probably depend on the kinds of offers we get, and of course which kind of incoming deals look likely.
Personally I wouldn't mind a bit of an exodus this January. 6-7 players leaving, raise funds for a couple of quality incoming players and make up the numbers with Pritchard, Carroll (if he can be recalled) and cheap-ish young players like Rabiot.

I can see at least two of Paulinho to Brazil, Capoue to France, or Dembele to lower prem being quite easy transfers to manage.
Getting rid of Ade and Kaboul will be the hard ones, as with short contracts they will have big wage demands of prospective new clubs

Yep, could be that but Dembele has been getting more playing time in the PL (as a sub mostly). Great that the two youngsters have jumped to the front of the queue but it is a big ask for them both to keep up that form all season. With Southampton's poor run and horrendous upcoming fixtures I wonder will Schneiderlin get itchy feet come January. Unlikely I guess but Paulinho + Capoue out and Schniderlin in would be ideal.

I think we'll definitely try and get rid of Capoue and Paulinho, while Dembele will depend on whether we get one of Cabeye/Rabiot/Schneiderlin in.
The only thing that might change that is that Dembele will have EPL suitors (Stoke, Soton), which might make him easier to sell for a decent fee. He's also older, on a shorter contract and has/d his hip issues, which might also see him jump ahead of the inferior Paulinho and Capoue in the exit queue.

What happens when Bentaleb goes to the ACoN? Who takes his place? We'll still need cover too.

Stambouli. Then keep Dembele till deadline day as backup

I'd like to see Dembele pushed up front, he's got control and strength and would not slow us down in midfield
