in order to sign 3 new players into the squad, who are you losing?
For me, it would be KVY, Keogh and TJJ
Reasons:
KVY - perma-injured
Keogh - not sure what he actually gives us
TJJ - just not good enough
*quick edit, I know a lot of people are going to disagree with one another here and the idea isn't to lambast others for who they would be prepared to lose, I'm just interested to know if there's any consistency amongst fans on who is expendable (when push comes to shove) in the squad. It's a tough decision, but one the manager might very well find himself in come January, we can't just keep adding players. [Post edited 2 Nov 2022 11:43]

KVY has been available lately and we aren't going to find a better back up
Keogh is an interesting one. Worth keeping around even if it's as more of a coach.
TJJ is getting better and better. |  |

Are you Ronnie Corbett ? - youve answered the wrong question |  |

KVY - he's been very good recently and is excellent cover - you won't find better in this division or budget I suspect.
Keogh - possibly, but he's an experience head and worth keeping
TJJ - def not, raw but a player there and he's been producing
I don't think we need to offload anyone really, nor make 3 signings, possibly 1 maybe 2 at most. |  |

Thank you for your views on my choices, taken on board, what 3 players would you lose from the squad? (I know this is theoretical currently, but it could well be a reality come January) | |

Can't answer it. Can't think of three players I would like to lose. There's no dead weight in this squad. | |

Ok, so there's 2 signings identified that you feel would make the team better, what 2 bodies are you losing from the existing squad? | |

If you think at this moment in time that we’d need to sell to buy, I’m not sure you’ve been paying attention. |  |

Hladky.
Then pray that one of the following is true:
Walton doesnt get injured.
Hayes is up to the job if Walton does get injured
That there is an ALB style quality freebie lying around if need be. |  |

Camara and Ahadme for the other two.
We wouldnt miss them, because we havent yet seen them. | |

I am presenting a currently hypothetical scenario, that could well become a reality in January for our manager and I'm just wondering if there's any consensus amongst fans on who they would be prepared to lose from the squad to accommodate new players that the club felt would be better positioned to take us to the promised land.
Unless the belief is that there is nobody in world football that could improve our squad, there is a high possibility that we look to add strength/depth in January, but we would have to to sacrifice bodies to accommodate them, who would you be prepared to lose from the current squad to better meet the target of promotion this season? | |

Ooof, the risky approach, I like it, but that could bite us in the posterior at some point, I wouldn't be brave enough to make that call as a manager. | |

Depends on the player available.
If it's Mbappe, I might reluctantly consider Jackson going. | |

An 'ALB quality freebie' is the absolute definition of 'damning with faint praise' and the kind of 'will this do' signing that epitomised the ME era. [Post edited 2 Nov 2022 12:12]

So, what you''re saying is that they'd be like new signings, essentially? | |

Do you know what, I completely forgot about Camara and your reasoning is sound for both him and Ahadme. Personally, I looked at this from the angle of choosing players that have had an opportunity to impress and that I just don't feel are going to get us over the finish line for one reason or another and thought I'd give players like Ahadme a chance to get fit and show if they are up to the task, or not. | |

"TJJ - just not good enough"
Not sure how you have come to that conclusion |
Just a personal opinion on what I've seen of him. I don't think he is awful, but I don't think he is particularly good at anything either, he's just a bit "meh" and I think we need more than that from a forward to be competing for an automatic promotion spot. | |

probably agree with the opening list for me
IF we can get better |  | | |

Hladky, Penney and Sheeran
*Sheeran from the playing squad, not as a sponsor of course! |  |

Yeah, that's a gimmick that's now run it's course. | |

Keogh. Maybe Jackson. JJ at a push if we brought in someone of Whittaker quality. |  | | |
| It's January, we have to lose 3 players on 13:00 - Nov 2 with 2992 views | hype313 |
I'd go Harper, Hdlaky and Keogh.
Keogh looks like a boxer who has had one fight too many.
Harper can't get in Exeter's first team and Hadlky is just wasting his time on the bench. |  |

Has it? Or is it something we barely notice?
By giving him a squad number non Ipswich fans who love him can make both the front and back of their shirt about him. It's something that costs nothing but probably brings in extra money. | |

KVY is fine as a backup to Burns. Unless we can get a better version of Burns, then we're not going to get better. I do agree that his injury record goes against him here.
Keogh is a funny one. Comes on to sure up games and we always seem to end up conceding. Obviously has a lot to give behind the scenes and won't be going anywhere.
TJJ is getting better as games go on. I think he just needs a consistent position; he's been striker, winger, attacking mid. We need to stick to one and watch him flourish.
At present, it's a case of can we get someone better for positions.
I still think we lack a bit of quality in the positions between midfield and striker but I don't think Harness and Chaplin will be going anywhere.
Hladky could do with a career revival. [Post edited 2 Nov 2022 14:42]

Penney
Harper
Pigott
From the team.
First squad I can't think of anyone. If there were crazy attacking players available I guess you could say Jackson, TJJ, but I like them both and think they're good players, so the replacement would need to be of real quality.
Hladky maybe? But worry in case Walton gets injured. |  |
