Player Valuation: £15m
They're going to sit in the reserves whether we like it or not if they don't get sold.Ok, wording it better. we could pay for their wages whilst they sit in the reserves but from a common sense perspective and a business perspective we may not want to do that whilst offering bigger contracts elsewhere.
Plus we need interest from other clubs before we can get rid of these players. I would imagine Niasse will be loaned out tomorrow as expected, the McCarthy story may have legs, Mcgeady will go if he drops his wage demands for first team football and I think gibson will probably stay either way as a back up player
Their contracts only relate to other players in respect to overall budget. If their contracts are preventing us from bringing players in then we have a very limited overall budget.
Gibson was given a new deal. There was no intention of selling him this window. Unless you are Yarmolenko what footballer signs a deal and then agrees to leave to go to a club he doesn't really want to go to just to make his current club a bit of coin.
