Having said that I just can’t see that we have much in the way of players that ‘bigger’ clubs are likely to be looking at.
As regards our size and reputation that’s not arrogance on my part...there just aren’t any other L1 clubs who can boast better support and a better stadium. In the words of Joe Wildsmith, ‘who wouldn’t want to play here?’
As regards the players themselves...Wildsmith himself, McGoldrick, Cashin and possibly Knight are the most saleable imo, but both Wildsmith and Cashin are settled and happy, McGoldrick is probably too old to move to a higher level and Knight had a slightly indifferent season which won’t have Championship sides queuing up with spectacular offers...again imo.
On the down side we have two or three players, all signed last summer, who I’d be happy to let go but I can’t see there being a huge number of potential suitors for them either, so it’s a case of build on what we have, strengthen where we were lacking and where we’ve already lost players from and go again...but I doubt we’ll be in the market for your cast offs although, personally, I’d love us to sign Surridge.
