Perez is linked to Betis but they're skint so we'd to offload him for free for them to even consider picking up his pay packet.
Vestegaard would rather play Monopoly on a Saturday afternoon than kick a football about and Soumare, who seemingly had a decent pre-season, was frozen out of the Brentford matchday squad so we could offload him, only for Monaco to call our bluff and sign someone else. No other club in France really has the cash to buy him (well, ones that'd be interested anyway).
You couldn't make it up really. A few players had a clear enough path out of the club to allow us to bring in a new face or two but we've either been unlucky / stupid, or both.
