If we get an offer that matches our asking price I would expect that we would be willing to sell anyone - just depends what our asking price is.
The difference is whether we are actively TRYING to move players on. I would anticipate that as well as the 7 already being shown the door we are probably actively looking to sell:
Naismith
Klose
Jarvis (if he's ever fit enough to pass a medical)
Dorrans
McGovern
Tettey
Possibly even Wes and Jerome.
We have a huge wage bill which doesn't represent at all the quality on the pitch.
Personally, I would only be bothered if a handful of the more established players left, these would be Pritchard, Howson, Oliveria, Jacob Murpy, (and now) Maddison but I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see any one leave.
I think next year will be more difficult than many think, it will be exciting but it may be difficult and I expect to see 3 or 4 season long loans to help bridge the gap while we try to re-build.
It's much needed and if it takes us back to signing the 'young and hungry' players we did under Lambert then I would be more than happy with this change in recruitment strategy.
