Can't see us selling Esteve unless he has a buy out clause in his contract. CJ Riley will definitely sign and hopefully Brownhill to. I would also try to keep hold of Trafford

We will need 2 new full backs, strong central midfield, striker, a No 10 and a winger

Humphries, Anthony and Flemming will definitely be staying and hopefully Edwards.

I would sell Koleosho and look for a
replacement, his heart isn't with us

We should look to spend 110 million with a wage bill of 90 million. If we spend wisely we should be able to recoup our 110 million if relegated
I think Pace is astute enough to have learned from the Kompany era mistakes. We certainly have the nucleus of a very good EPL team, we just need to tune the orchestra up and add some serious strength in depth.
