Massive overhaul in the summer

[tinostongue]

Regardless of where we finish, the owners and manager will be ruthless this summer,
this summer window will be like one we have never seen before. When you look at the situation,

its quite shocking how many players will be leaving.


Out of contract in the summer

Paul Dummett
Matt Ritchie
Mark Gillespie
Loris Karius
Ciaran Clark
Matty Longstaf


Sold or nailed on to be sold/released

Chris Wood

Jeff Hendrick
Isaac Hayden
Karl Darlow
Ryan Fraser
Martin Dubravka


players that have a high chance of being moved on

Jamaal Lascelles
Allan Saint-Maximin
Jamal Lewis
Javier Manquillo


so either way, we are losing at least 7 players certainly
with another 5 who i would bank on leaving (12)


and another 4 that could be sold too . Thats a crazy window, potentially 16 players going out

Couldn’t argue with any of that. Would be tricky to replace that many in one go though,so probably be done gradually over next 2 windows. There’s certainly 10 who will be going, the last block of 4, not sure. Lewis is the enigma for me, we paid 15 million for him! Hasn’t really had a run because of injuries etc,but he could save us some money. Is he an improvement on Targett who’s not the quickest. Interesting times.
