    The club is reducing the squad, perhaps rebalancing it, bringing in some players and we are raising money.

    What does everyone want or is it just moaners who will complain about anything and everything?
    All well and good reducing the squad but just selling the quality is not a recipe for success.Then again who else could we sell for decent money?

    I’ve got my ticket and I go every week Swiss where permitted

    I would like us to not start this season like last with a large chunk of new players all trying to bed in - in a short space of time.

    It looks like Traffords off as well as O’Shea berg

    As per my previous post and CIB the spine of the team is going and that’s not easy to re build.

    My next thought is Brownhill unless he signs a contract - 2 games 2 goals even if we keep him next week will he be gone in January for a figure before going for nothing.

    Did we actually sell JbG as he was contracted again

    It seems we have received a fee for JBG.

    And Sunderland target Manuel Benson is “about to leave” current club Burnley, according to reports.

    The Black Cats were initially linked with the Belgian winger last week, courtesy of an update from Daily Express journalist Charlie Gordon. In a post on social media, the reporter claimed that Regis Le Bris’ side held a “concrete interest” in the wide man, alongside Championship rivals Leeds United and Norwich City.

    There's thinning a squad and then there is decimating it.

    The only moaning I've seen recently was someone moaning about politics on a football thread. I wonder who that was.

    The revolving door can't spin fast enough for me, my big worry was that it wouldn't spin at all, the Yanks would run out of someone else's money and we'd be heading for Admin.

    We aim to make money by player trading, and it's never been a big secret, Mr Pace has often said this is how he'll operate and it's been openly stated on Mission to Burnley. We have a recruitment team who's job it is to have players lined up to replace the outgoings, and hopefully they'll be good enough to be sold for a profit in a year or two's time. It is what it is and what's happening now is exactly what is meant to happen.

    Brighton has been mentioned as aclub we're trying to emulate and they seem to have done OK operating this way, they've shipped out the following in the last couple of years and coped without any problem, Dan Burns, Yves Bissouma, Ben White, Viktor Gyorkes, Marc Cucurella, Leandro Trossard, Alexis MacAllister, Robert Sanchez, Moises Caicedo. Nowt to worry about, Brighton have shown it can be done.

    Have you seen the hundreds of million pounds the Brighton owner has pumped into the club to make it work?

    Plenty of comings and goings. O'Shea would be my biggest loss, but if we can replace him with the likes of Worrall who is a leader it won't be to bad.
    Then we have the kid Basher who also plays CH coming in on a loan to buy from Chelsea. He might be another 20milly plus lad in 18 months, who knows.

    Would be good business getting shut of Benson, who has glass legs, doesn't look fit either, and over weight

    JBG off to Saudi, yet more good business

    Al Dakhil off to. Would also like to see us get shut of Beyer and keep McNally who is proven at this level. Ffs how many CHs do we need?

    Need to add to midfield and keep Brownhill at all costs now Berge has gone.

    Get shut of Trafford to, juries still out on him. If we can get 17-20 million for him its a no brainer

    Keep Vitinho who looks good at this level and move on some of the other lads from overseas who aren't getting a look in

    A little bit of tweaking here and there and job will be reyt on brothers
