Jason Knight

Consensus is that they're facing a fire sale and will get below a fair price for their players as a result. £5m comes up a good few times in the thread.

When I see a figure that low I can see how a bigger club might want to take a quick look at him. If a side can manage his appearances correctly (at that club and out on loans) then you will surely never make a loss on £5m. And it differs to, say, Collins going to Burnley. The outlay there was over double that amount and might one say there's a little more risk involved again in terms of young defenders? 

Someone like Leicester, for example, would surely be tempted to a far greater extent than if he were £10m or whatever he would have gone for in normal circumstances. 

Good shout re Leeds especially given the news Kalvin Phillips may be out for a couple of months. I know they dont play in the same position, but it does leave Leeds light on numbers in midfield and Jason's high octane style would probably suit a Bielsa team.

Better not go to The Magpies so.

Hendrick has been very good recently. As Jamie McGrath has shown, there's room for an 8 1/2 type player and Hendrick. I can see Knight and Hendrick and Cullen and two more making up our front 5 before the back 6. In fact, I would say that Hendrick has proved himself over a period of time and more recently for Ireland that his club situation is not that important. Cullen is excelling for club and country. Knight is performing for Derby and has made a recent large contribution for Ireland against Luxembourg. I would guess that, if fit, they will be 3 of the first names on the teamsheet for Kenny. Duffy, Egan and Bazunu being another 3. Coleman and Doherty probably start but I don't know where. And then we need either a left wing back or a right sided centre back, depending on where Coleman and Doherty are positioned. Robinson is probably the last starter. 

So, I'm saying Bazunu, Coleman, Doherty, Egan, Duffy, Cullen, Hendrick, Knight and Robinson are starters, in my view and based on recent evidence. That leaves two positions - one being either a right sided centre half or left wing back and the other being an attacking midfielder or centre forward.
