A topic that's been touched upon elsewhere but I thought worthy of a thread. Given Citeh's very large (37?) squad and a limit of 25 you have to think there's a few players that will be shifted cheaply either permanently or loans. 'Arry said as much yesterday:
"I think there will be a few loans," said Redknapp. "Clubs like Manchester City will have too big a squad as you can only have 25 players on your roster.
"They will have a problem and there will be players that clubs will want to loan out that will be good players that are earning good wages.
"Clubs will have to cut their wage bills and they don't want players sitting around doing nothing.
"I think if you are clever there are loans out there that for clubs like us would be interesting, but certainly not from abroad."
Redknapp believes there are players of the calibre of Joe Cole, who joined Liverpool last week on a free transfer despite interest from Spurs, who could be enticed to White Hart Lane.
"We are not talking about spending a fortune. I think there are a couple of bargains out there still," stated Redknapp.
"Joe Cole was one of those. There are one or two more around that would do a great job and would just make a difference for us."

Out of the players potentially in the surplus category who would you take and at what price/loan?
I'm coming around to Bellamy for <£7m if we can't get Turan. I'd take Richards (<£8m) given his potential turnaround under 'Arry and the lack of Woodgate and King playing time this season.
Other than that I'm not sure I'd take many others as upgrades on what we have and would rather save the cash for a world class #9.
In any case, I'm sure Levy will leave it late so Citeh are distressed sellers.
Thoughts amigos?
