Mark Hughes Strategy

[mkoss22]

he has said time and time again that he prefers to buy first and then sell later. expect 3 more signings (Hoillet, sung and a CB) hopefully before pre season begins then my guess is we will start unloading players...unfortunately some fan favorites are going to be in the mix along with the obvious ones.

in retrospect its pure genius...it allows team chemistry on the pitch and team unity off. my guess is by end of the week the amazing madness will end and we can all sit back with a drink and have a smile!

I think they certainly wnt all siginings done before the tour if possible. After which it will be clearer who's not in the plans by those players who don't go.

it seems Joey Barton is cranky on twitter today. does he sense his days are numbered?

No, he's probably got the hump becasue all the rest of the squad are getting ready to go on the tour, and he's being left behind as part of his punishment.
