West Bromwich Albion boss Alan Irvine is unsure about clearing out his fringe players in January.
The likes of Silvestre Varela, Sebastian Blanco, Georgios Samaras, Jason Davidson and Chris Baird now look less than ideal summer recruits but any potential sales depend on offers.
"Unless people come in and make offers for players I don't think that (exits) will happen," said Irvine.
"The structure is different here so I'm not going to be involved in doing too much as far as January is concerned but you never know what's going to happen in January.
"You don't know whether all of a sudden somebody will come in for a player and a decision has to be made.
"As it stands I don't think there will be an awful lot of activity in January but I could be so far wide of the mark as far as that's concerned because there can be a domino effect and one move can trigger off other moves."
