On the books at the moment we have in defence.

Gibbs (no really)
although i think Sodji will be recalled in mid Jan thats an awfull lot of defenders. Maybe we need to say cherio to Gibbs and Thatcher buy their contracts out.
I would like to see a real good ball winner in the centre of midfield and a striker who has some experience.
As for the "we aint got no money " shout well it isnt a great strategy really. Sure if we plead being skint we might get a few bob off a transfer but it also means others may stiff round our players. while we can always say naff off it couldbe unsettling. Our own players agents may think its time for the off.If you also want someone to come inand buy the club, telling them we r skint aint gona get the big money , they will think they can get us cheap.
The £9million in debt wont include the parashute money, any installments from Bents transfers any money for Young or Diawara.Not flush with cash but not in to bad a shape. My thinking is maybe £2million and what ever we mightget for TwatyBent. So £2million and 2 bob.

So ten defenders for 4 positions, 11 if you include Sankofa. So if we need cover that 1 playing and 1 for cover = 8 players needed given the number of suspensions and injuries.
Of that 10 Gibbs is out all season anyway and then he's out of contract. All very well saying pay up Thatchers contract but that will cost us a lot and he may well prove to be a valuable player. Certainly gives us more experience at the back and free Youga who can play across the back according to accounts and Basey who is the new Keith Jones. Powell is getting on and shouldn't really be in the equation.
so that leaves us with 9 players on of whom is on loan. Personally I think Sodji stay but we shall see. Any less than 8 defenders is cutting it very fine IMHO
He hasn't played for two years - I don't think he'll have much choice!

I was about to make the same point.
Darren Bents money is included in the losses of £9M (It will be in the balance sheet as money owed) Cash flow is different from profit. You are right re the parachute payment. The other transfer money was spent on Varney, McLeod Etc
