45 MF Tommy O'Sullivan -stay
60DF David Tutonda -loan out

What do you think ?

Say the unsure ones stay we'd have

Moore and Lewis as keepers.

Full backs - Fabio, John, malone, Peltier

Centre backs- Turner, Morrison, Oshilaja + one new signing

Midfield -Adeyemi, Pilkington, Ralls, O'Keefe,Whittingham, Harris, O'Sullivan, Kennedy. + one new ?

Strikers -Doyle, Macheda, Revell, Mason, Johnson ? + 1new signing ??

1st team:
Lewis/Moore
Peltier Turner Morrison (maybe Oshilaja/new signign) Fabio
Pilkington Ralls Whittingham/Adeyemi Kennedy
Doyle Macheda

bench Revell, Mason, Lewis/Moore, centre back, Whitts/Adeyemi, O'Keefe, Malone/John

Doesn't seem to bad for me.

Only a few of the big earners left as well.

Proabably not good enough to go up, but a lot would depend on how Kennedy, Oshilaja,Mason,John, Fabio, Ralls, Doyle (yes I know he's 26), Macheda and the 2 keepers develop with more games at this level.

Thing that strikes me is that there is still a fair bit of value in our squad.
If those moves come true the wage bill will be back to a manageable level, we'd get £10-£15m of transfer funds in and still have a competitive squad.

It's no all doom and gloom.

Most of the players I have down as likely to leave are going to attract interest or are out of contract.

We've also been hit hard by injuries this year and with those players coming back that will be like a bunch of new signings

Well I think we are going to find out next campaign.

What has been our downfall over the last 10 years has been our high profile guys letting us down. When we needed them they simple have not produced. Perhaps it is time to give the not so household names a go. Looking at the rest of the teams in the league that seems to be the way.
