    Trimming the squad

    Who do we think might go this window (not who do you want to go )

    I wouldn't be surprised to see Fraser and Ritchie go and possibly Lewis out on loan. Maybe Anderson.

    Son't think Lascelles will go as Howe rates his leadership of the squad but I think he may be off in the Summer.

    Fraser certainly.

    If Ritchie wants to, I think he'll be allowed but not sure Howe will push for it as he rates him for his dressing room attitude.

    Anderson, I reckon we could see him on loan.

    Manquillo maybe.

    One of the goal keepers - Lorius released or maybe Gillespie out on loan.

    Young Lewis number could be up. If Isak was fit maybe Wood too.

    I’m surprised Eddie hasn’t managed to get a tune out of Lewis, but he hasn’t so he would be likely to go. I think we should keep Anderson and I’d rather Ritchie left than Fraser to make room for a new midfielder.
    I would think Wood would go in the Summer - and go he must to make room for a better quality striker.

    we have quite a lot of players that are not good enough to enable us to compete in all competitions, i can see the squad being completely reshaped over the coming transfer windows and the average age lowered

    January - Frazer and Ritchie Anderson and Lewis loans

    Summer - Dummet, Gillespie, Darlow, Clark, M Longstaff, Hayden, Dubravka, Hendrick - maybe Wood, Shelvey, ASM

    Aye, our weak bench has been plain to see at times and a spring clean is needed. I still think ASM has a place but maybe more as an impact bench player unless he can prove me wrong and be a consistent starter. I get why people are not sure about him but attacking threats like him are hard to find lying around.
