Eisa, Leko and Wazza to have any hope of going up. No offer will be good enough to let them go, they simply have to stay

Yep.

If any of them do go it has to be for a decent fee, but more importantly we should only do business when we have a suitable replacement lined up, not deadline day when we have no time to sort it. And by suitable, I don't mean some untested young player, I mean decent quality experienced players - there's no excuse if we're getting good fees for them.

But yes, let's just keep them and be stubborn about it, we have no need to sell them. Even if it means we risk losing any of them on a free next summer, I'd rather we used their abilities to get us out of this league. That would be worth the loss in any potential fee.

Yep, I’d rather lose them in a free in the summer than sell them now

Not only do they have to stay, we have to add quality players as well

Inexcusable if recruitment is fumbled in the remainder of the window. Sell anyone of them or do not add sufficient quality to an inexperience group outside the starting 11 and questions need to be asked.

Ensuring we get promotion is priceless!

I will tell you why! £10 million for all 3 of leko, eisa and wozza is eorthless because in our position we will not be able to attract equally skilled players to replace them no matter how much we have for transfer fees.

We need to get this promotion snd learn from past mistakes!

Excellent observation.

We need to sack off the part of the "MK Way" that says we won't stand in anyone's way. Fuck that. Bids for Mo and Leko? Go fuck yourself.

Agreed keiser. Sentimentality and do gooding doesnt win trophies. Keep them and we go up at a canter. That starting 11 is 100 points 100 goals. Just need to back the manager and bring in quality players to add competition and quality cover. Worth remembering there will be probably an extra 10-15 mins most games in added time which adds to a number of extra games if you collate it. We sill need more in the way of reliable rotation options.

The kids need to go back to being kids and we need a squad of experienced ready made starters and sllow the youngsters time to develop at their own speed without pressure.

It's a shame but that result will stand out more than any result in the EFL yesterday and if people weren't looking at our squad they will now, we should just have won 1.0....

Yep. Much as they were potent yesterday, Eisa and Leko are part of the reason we are in this league. They have to pay their dues like the rest of us. There’s no moral argument for them to play in a higher league.

If those two can get their partnership going, they will be scoring tons this season.
