Many of these were bought for huge sums of money so the potential is there.
Richards
Shelvey as said on the other thread
Dennis, what’s happened to him?
OBrien
£25 million worth there, all of them have ability or have shown it in the past.
Reckon any one of those would be an improvement on what we had on the pitch last night.
Actually disagree there, I think we should be cutting our losses on most of these, aside from Richards.
Shelvey was a liability and plays a position that we're still reasonably stocked in. We improved a lot after his banishment. Not sure why we'd want to bring him back. Something obviously happened with O'Brien. Suspect he's also burned too many bridges.
Dennis is not good, doesn't fit Cooper's system and is never going to play without changing manager, so no reason to keep him. He might still have some value right now compared to another year on the bench.
