Or alternatively

Klose - an integral part of our much improved defence, playing consistently for the first time since we came down.

Jerome - first choice striker earlier in the season. Dare I say it the type of signing a club going for promotion would be looking to make in this window to give them extra strength in depth,

Oliveira - don;t buy this poor attitude business. Think its become a lazy narrative. Yes he's out of form but he's a full Portuguese International who I think most teams in this division would like to have in their squad. Could perhaps be replaced by two other strikers if the money was right but here we are talking about in the context of buying a 21 year old french kid and a German second tier striker.

Wildschutt - played pretty well this season and involved in most of the wins in our best run. Agree though Hernandez and the spurs kid would be adequate replacement.

Naismith & Martin - don;t care about them.

The main point would be the loss of 5 senior, first team players in one window. I just can;t see the club doing that because you can;t possibly hope to keep building a team with that level of change. Klose and Oliveira may well leave in the summer but it would be ridiculous to sell them both now.
