Yes I undestand they will most likely be off (although I would keep Klose) but

The hypothetical situation we are discussing here is where those players are replaced by Julan, Mainka and Knoll as posted by the OP.

I would not regard a window where we sold Oliveira, Pritchard, Klose, Jerome and also offloaded Wildshutt, Naismith and Martin and replaced them with kid on loan from spurs for 4 months, a 21 year old striker from League 2, a young German striker and a winger from the German second tier (plus failed to get in any right back cover) as being positive or anything other than very bad in terms of the strength of the first team in any way, shape or form.

I realise we have to cut the wage bill over this and the next window but these are good players we would be selling not the likes of Jarvis and Naismith and to lose so many in one go would be damaging on a number of levels.
