Imagine our current side without McKenna, Shinnie and GMS... that could be a reality come next summer. About another 4 or 5 are loanees and another 4 or 5 are almost certain to be gone by next summer at the latest. We've done well for a few years because we've had a fairly consistent team with one or two moving on being replaced by similar or better quality players... until last season... and now it's really really beginning to show and will only get worse. Drastic action required in January - ship out those clearly not good enough and get some quality in pronto. I know it's not easy to source top talent on a budget but it will be pretty easy to find better players than Gleeson, Forrester, Tansey, Hoban, May, Cosgrove etc who are either hopeless or almost permanently injured.
