Clarke, Neil, Patterson,Hume and Ballard if you had to sell 3 who would it be?

Midfield
Neil, Patterson and Hume. Tough one. Estimated 20 for Neil, 12 Patterson and 12 for Hume. 20 million put towards contract for Clarke and Rigg. 15 million in transfer fees.
 


I’d sell Neil, Patto and Clarke

We should replace Neil with an experienced midfielder

May already have a Clarke replacement in the squad. Not that they would be anywhere near as good but we have players that can play there. Main reason is he’s the only one we’ll get big money for and it can be spread across the squad for reinvesting

We’d get pennies for Patto but you could bring in an experienced keeper who would do just as well

Ballard far too important, we wouldn’t get another Hume and we’re short at right back at the best of times
 
Hume and Patta are easyish choices when held against the other 3.

The third spot is more difficult, but with regret, Ballard.
 
Patto - probably the easiest to replace, a years loan would be fine until Young is less Young
Hume - we have Huggins and Pembele
Clarke - controversial but I think it is easier to replace a wide attacker than a central midfielder. Ballard - Neil are part of our spine.

I could be convinced to sell Ballard not Clarke. We do have Seelt.

But we won’t sell 3.
