Tony Mowbray has discussed how he might deal with Isaac Lihadji's rumoured exit, but also said that more outgoings could possibly happen before deadline day depending on the circumstances...
WINGERS
"We have Roberts and Clarke who in my mind are stick on in them positions. You have Jewison, who has scored a few goals over pre-season but is still a very, very young boy."
ATTACKING DEPTH
"Attacking players is what we need. Dack has been brought in, we still have Pritchard, Ba. We think Ba looks better cutting in off the right hand side having a check and twist. We could think about putting Clarke down the middle and Ba off the left sometimes. Let's just keep rolling with them and keep trying to make them better. They'll be better for the experience of last season, they are young players and they had a great experience last season and hopefully they'll be stronger and better."
MORE SALES?
"I think there's a chance but I don't know the answer to where or how that will happen. But I do think there's a chance. I do think we sort of could probably utilise salary for different positions on the pitch if we're trying to remould. But it's very difficult to talk about things like that because the phone has to ring."
BALANCING ACT
"We're not out there pushing our players out the door. If the phone rings and it's right for the club and we feel pretty strong in one position but we're a bit empty in another, we might feel it's the right thing to move him out and use that salary or to sell him and use the money to fill this one. That's what football clubs have to do and footballers understand that."
NEXT FEW WEEKS
"And it might work out best for them. They might go somewhere else and get a better salary and then they get what they want and we got what we want with a player in a different position who helps with our squad and the balance of it. Let's see how the next few weeks rolls by before the window shuts at the end of August. But I'd be pretty sure there'll be some movement around our squad in the next few weeks."
