we currently have 15 permanent senior players - Casilla BPF Ayling Berardi Douglas Alioski Jansson Cooper Phillips Forshaw Klich Dallas Hernandez Bamford and Roofe - we should keep all these, we should then add 3 quality signings to that group, ideally permanent signings too, not a huge fan of the loan market. That would then give Marcelo the senior 18 that he likes to have.

they are then backed up by some of the best youth players in the entire division - Huffer Miazek Hosannah Davis Odour Halme Struijk Diaz Shackleton Gotts McCalmont Nicell Bogusz Clarke Stevens Roberts Edmondson and Temenuzhkov

not forgetting we also still have Pearce Shaughnessy Dalby Rey Coyle Kitching Wilks O'Connor Denton Ideguchi Balboa Grot Machuca and Sarkic who have all been out on loan

I would imagine O'Kane Saiz Sacko Cibicki DeBock Anita Bouy and Ekuban will all be sold or released as they were all at some point sent out on loan, I'd be happy if we were to get somewhere around 8 to 10 million for that group, but generally, if they aint gonna play, we need them out, nowt against any of them, we just gotta be mindful of the wage bill, save the wages for players who will get into Marcelos regular 18.

some decisions for the board to make, we don't need to worry about any out of contract players as we dont have any for the first time in god knows how long

its going to be an interesting summer, i wouldnt antisipate a lot of new players coming in, i dont think we need a lot, 3 would be nice, i think some of the youths that have been out on loan might force their way into the first team squad, or certainly will intergrate back into the u23s with some good experience under their belts, geez our u23 squad next season will be stacked with talent, can't see them losing too many next season with that kind of squad

either way, im excited to see how the squads look for the first kickoff of the new season!

MOT!!!
