After last night and last few games it is clear Slav has no faith in Brewster/McBurnie/Burke, it's also clear Mousset has serious fitness issues which is the biggest frustration as he looks the best of the bunch on his day.
What on earth are we going to do with these players if they are going to get very limited game time this season? Brewster has a lot more time, he is contracted to us until June 2025 so there is time to sort him out, what on earth do we do with the other 3. Do we need to seriously consider loaning McBurnie or Burke out to either recover some of their value so we can sell on, or are we just going to lose them at end of next season on a free.
Here is where I think we are heading:

Here is where I think we are heading:
- Mousset - cost approx. £10m, contract due to end at end of this season - I would expect if he continues to have fitness problems we will just lose him end of the season, won't offer him a new contract.
- McBurnie - cost approx. £17m. Contract due to end at end of next season - feel like we will need to keep him as a squad player but he will continue to be a bit part player. We'll offer him a contract for him to stay on reduced wages, he'll look elsewhere for a new club and leave for free.
- Burke - cost £5/6m we think based on what we paid roughly for Callum Robinson. Contract due to end at end of next season. Hopefully we will loan him out in January, we might recover £1m-2m for him next summer if he does ok for another championship side.
