A Prem club could take a punt on Dara or one of the keepers but for potential and as squad players.
Dara aside, I can't see anyone in the PL making a bid for any of our players, and his injury has probably ended any interest for this summer.
Molumby will be in demand next summer if he continues to improve, and as with the keepers, they both have weaknesses in their game and need more football before they're going to attract bids.
Yokuslu is a big earner, and my concern with him is more that he'll angle to leave this summer, and if he does it'll be a loan move back to Turkey or elsewhere in Europe which we accept to get the wage bill down. We need to reduce our wages to bring people in and with Mowatt returning, Yokuslu is one who may be a way to free up some cash.
Grant, Mowatt, Bartley, Phillips, Grady and Reach are all big earners in this division and sadly through age, injury problems, attitude or just plain lack of ability do not contribute anywhere near what they need to to justify their salaries over a full season. We will be stuck I imagine with all of them next season and this is what will hold us back moving forward.
