Would you sell Vela?

Nixon is reporting that Vela could be on his way out of the club - but would that be a bad thing?

Obviously the summer window is shut but the way around this is to use the loan window with a guaranteed sale in January.

With us seemingly looking to do the same ourselves for MK Dons midfielder Chuks Aneke - a more or less straight swop for Vela, and with the Everton midfield youngster Joe Williams already signed for the year on loan, do we really need him - particularly that he hasn't seemed to shine much in the last two seasons.

If other clubs were interested wouldn't now be a good time to cash in with him in the last year of his contract?

What do you think?

Start the car, he's not shown anything, maybe he's dis-heartened at the club, so sell him.

GET RID,  GET THE CASH, GET A STRIKER.

He's not been great to be honest certainly in the no10 role. I think he would be better deeper but if we get a good offer i would say let him go.

As if someone is going to pay cash for him.

Clubs have scouts you know.

No Brainer any cash offer snap there hands off, under performed for years.

I would sell any of our players if a good offer comes in. It's business, not a cultural experience.

The people who have had the opportunity to enter my box would beg to differ.

I must be fortunate, not to have that pleasure.

Potential not realized so better for him and us to try somewhere else. Of course as always PP has no idea what his best position is. So let's try and get some cash for him.

Go on then Terrence, what’s Vela’s best position?

Probably in front of the back four......something we don't need at the moment as we have an overload of defensive midfielders. If somebody is offering cash then take the money and run. To me he is just an ok player good to have in the squad but won't be missed either.

I'd be in favour of selling Vela if we got a better box to box player in his place. Which we wouldn't be likely to do.

Not strong or defensive minded enough to play that role IMO. To me you’re just creating an issue to blame PP for.

He's not fulfilled his potential, i wouldn't be that sad to see him go if we got cash in January for him. He's been a disappointment in the no10 role and is lucky to still be in the team.

Cash in on him he’s bang average

I agree to a certain point, I think Oztumer would be better in that role, but finding a position for Vela seems to be lost on Parkinson, if we could get some cash for him it makes sense to sell.

What position should he be playing?

That is the issue, he's been very average as a no10 and not played the deeper role that often but in my opinion he would be better than Murphy in that role. He played his best football at right back 

Agree about him as a RB. 

He’s been played withdrawn and as a 10 by Parky though and failed to perform consistently in either though, so I don’t buy the criticism of PP Terrence and Martin are trying to push.
