I think there are players we should move on

Thompson
Drinan

And players who may be targets for other clubs

Happe
Moncur
Sotiriou

Players who need a loan

Sanders
Sweeney

Moncur

Not sure why Sanders would be shipped out, even temporarily. Think he'll feature now fit.

Drinan and Thompson should go, but won't.

Moncur will hopefully get that L2 move his form warrants.

Wellens probably the most likely to depart IMHO.

How many minutes has Sanders played? He seems to be behind Moncur and Galbraith

Hunt, Pratley also possibly 'deadwood'

Be careful, I said Wellens would be gone by the end of season (hope I’m wrong) and got slaughtered think Happe might go for a fee?

My guess...

Loaned out to L2: Moncur, Sweeney
Leave for nominal fee: Happe
Loan end not renewed: Cooper

Drinan would've been in the first list but now he's injured he'll be here until end of season

Drinan will still be mooching around the Gaughan Group Stadium after the nuclear apocalypse has wiped everyone else out.

and with a free run at goal he still wouldn’t score.

What kind of basket case club would take on Thompson? He’s not going anywhere until his contract runs out.

I think a loan deal could be struck for Moncur. Somewhere like Gillingham I reckon.

Sweeney can get himself off to a conference club for some much needed development.

Drinan needs to go but can’t see anyone taking him on, even on loan with us paying 100% of his wages.

Bit strange but for the first time in quite a few seasons I can’t think of a single player we are at risk of losing due to a bigger club wanting to snap them up. I honestly can’t see anyone rushing in to sign Happe or Ruel who you could argue are our most promising/valuable players.

As I mentioned a while back, and others are now hinting at, I think Wellens being gone is a possibility. Struggling to see where the goals (and points) are going to come from in the next 3 games. If Wellens goes that will obviously throw all transfer activity up in the air.

Should spice up this thread by discussing which boarders will leave in January - either voluntarily, or pushed

You actually said he'd be gone by Christmas - He's still here.

Sacked or resigns?

Christmas has not arrived yet

He's going nowhere.

Drinan definitely needs to go, but who the hell will want a striker that cant score, cant trap a ball, cant pass, and is always injured

I would like Happe to go. IMO he isnt league 1 standard, and we might get a few bob for him. Centre backs are not hard to find, so he can be replaced

Hunt is another, that isnt of the standard required IMO

Its more important who we bring IN, than who leaves this window

I think you're right . That looks like the most likely scenario.

Drinan injured so won't be going anywhere

See you still can’t post without name calling, a bit immature don’t you think ?

Anyway Merry Christmas.

Its to be hoped Father Christmas is going lots of places or there will be many unhappy boarders when they wake up on 25th

I can't see Moncur going anywhere until his contract expires. Who would want to pick up the reputed 3k a week wage bill for an inconsistent, out of sorts, luxury player?

L2 club challenging for promotion. He does enough at that level to change games e.g. that goal against Wimbledon at home that was absolutely vital
