How the bloody hell do we get rid of our overpriced, overpaid tosh? It's an unbelievably difficult task for Brands to sell them for actual money. We're in a bad way here...
 
You clearly haven't watched the games as he's been easily the 2nd best player in pre season behind Besic. People just like to jump on the band wagon as oppose to judging a player by watching them play.

No he hasn’t, he’s ran around a lot, “put a shift in” if you will, but he has zero quality. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a “forward” with a worse touch or end product in my life. Rubbish player.

I concur, he's been ok and started off quite a few moves as a sort of winger - which our strikers have failed to finish off. Defence and central midfield seem to be our weakest areas - whether that is tactics or personnel I can only guess - but personnel is certainly of it.

I'm going to say it - I think CB is even more important than LB - judging on pre-season games admittedly.
 
..I suppose a positive of the pre-season is that Silva has given the likes of Sandro a chance. Unfortunately, I can’t think of anybody who has told us anything we don’t already know. Not one of last season’s fringe players have suggested they are anything but that. I suppose they are at least in the shop window getting game time.
 
Sandro puts the effort in which should be well respected but end of the day he's a poacher, nothing else. It's almost like hes trying too hard at times when the reality is he just needs to get in the box and on the end of things.

He isn't a winger, his play isn't good enough for it.

Really? Cos he seems utterly unable to finish, but his delivery has been mostly excellent over the last few games.

The issue with our CBs is that Holgate aside none of them have the poise on the ball to find the midfielders with quick passes, so every single time they just end up taking the easy ball out to the full back or long. They’re just not good enough end of.
 
At a pretty substantial loss, eh. Just cannot see anyone looking at our players and thinking 'ooh, I'll take him'. They wouldn't get into a pub team on last seasons performances.

Southampton have had to loan Jordie Classie out for 2 years straight because they cannot get a taker,
Same with spurs and Vincent Janssen

There is a huge list of players who have come to the league for big fee's on huge wages that are not good enough and teams cannot shift. Teams are waiting until after our window closes to get these players in as they reckon they can get them on a low price loan deal.
If we get anything over 10m for Klaassen plus his 6m wages off the books then we have done a great job
