I think we could see these kind of transactions in the summer. It’s evident, the players we can sell are likely going to be someone who is performing well enough to develop interest - with that money being invested in cheaper younger players.
It seems the most likely scenario, it’s just s shame that none of the squad are capable of generating a ridiculous fee to help with the build - At the moment.
The other concerning thing is the fan base can be too expectant that we should be performing better with relatively poor options.
Just look at how surplus players were eased off the payroll on loan last summer and people now think it was stupid and we should have sold (who to exactly, I’m not sure). It’s surpirising how many people think things are better than they actually are.
I am hoping for improvements in the summer and welcome Brands trying to resolve some issues, but don’t expect too much. Hopefully we can come out the window stronger again.

Tosun to Crystal Palace makes a little bit more sense when you consider Allardyce was linked with him whilst there. It’s likely someone in the scouting department has remained interested especially given he wouldn’t cost an arm and a leg. Coupled with the fact that they seem to love buying Tosun-esque strikers - I’d go so far to say they collect them. Hopefully we see them pounce.

It's a tricky business I am sure. Too many changes involving the first team, and no one gels and it's another transitional year. Keep your best players and tinker with the squad players to bolster the first team and it's a long term project. The first Brands-Silva window I think was spot on and couldn't realistically be improved on (apart from the striker issue). If we'd had some dead wood out this window and someone available at a price that was worth us going for him in the window (balance of January premium vs benefit of getting them in to give them half a season extra in the team whilst it's still forming and addressing a weak area) then I'd have been happy.
Next summer is key! This window may well be a frustration for us all to get past. Roll on 1st February.

I should also comment on the fact Bolasie could be key to any deal - obvs they can only buy one, but hopefully we can kill two birds with one stone.

Agreed, the Summer is already looking promising given the natural wastage plus Vlasic has performed and could generate a healthy profit (should we decide to sell).
There is the issue of the deadwood and exactly how much time Brands can focus on that whilst balancing time spent on incomings - well let’s just hope he has the time and appropriate interest. He may feel it’s time to just get what he can and if loans are done early it’s likely he wants to prioritise his energy on more pressing measures, such as the Niasse loan situation. Waiting until the end of Jan made sense, but there’s no guarantees he would have generated a perm. So can understand just getting him in the window and focusing on the summer.
Weird innit - almost like what the manager, the owner and the Director of Football has said is stacking up!

I'm so used to people saying one thing and doing another, that this has flummoxed me!

£30m for the pair and a pre-agreement for wan-bissaka in the summer.
Here's hoping
