If we recall Pritchard then selling Lennon makes sense. I must say I'm ambivalent about him going. He's done reasonably well when he's played this season, especially against Everton, but Pochettino obviously doesn't want him.
We should be keeping Vlad, though. Had another good game today. Kaboul, Adebayor, Paulinho and Capoue can all go. Not surprising about Holtby, but an odd decision all the same. He would add far more to the team than some who are getting game time at the moment, and it's madness to let Carroll go, especially when after Mason and Bentaleb we have no central midfielders who can pass the ball forwards with any kind of incisiveness.
Hell IMO we need to recall Pritchard and sign a winger reinforcement. We are embarrassingly thin at AM at the moment, and not one of our wingers is entirely consistent.
I don't think we wanted Holtby out though. He's treated like a god there in Hamburg while he'd just be fighting for places with us. Carroll I also agree with you on, but this reinforces to me Trix' ITK for awhile now that Poch still wants a CM replacement. The evidence is overwhelming in our play as well, as when Mason is out our midfield influence through passing plummets like a cannonball in water.
