Why have you put Eikrem twice with two different reasons.

Cowie will do the essential work needed in the championship as will Hudson with his championship nous and both are on reasonable salaries .

Harris has to stay, we began to see his potential maturing rapidly whilst with Brentford I believe he will become established in the championship next season with people sitting up and taking notice of the lad.

Ralls completed 36 out of 45 league games while only missing games with injuries, he played continually well in a poor team .

Mason will do a very good job for us next season, his goal against Liverpool at Wembley was no fluke! He played very good when playing for Bolton, ask yourself this question, would both these championship teams take these players if offered? Well the answer is simple, both would jump at the chance of their signatures.

Ekriem is a double Norwegian Premier League winner and another player who I believe will do a solid job for us in the Championship.

Berget is also a double Norwegian double championship winner and starting to establish himself in the Norwegian national team, he will fill out a role nicely padding out the squads forward options when needed.

Remember we will need decent size squad on a decent budget with player being utilised when needed as we know the Championship is a long old trudge.

Think Marshall, Caulker and Medel will all be wanted elsewhere
Offload KTC, Fabio or Taylor, Lappin, Kiss, velikonja, Berget
Assuming Smith and Bellamy's contracts aren't renewed

Leaves us with
GK - Lewis, Moore
RB - Brayford, mcnaughton
LB - Fabio or Taylor, John
DC - Cala, Hudson, Turner, Connolly
DM - Gunnarson, Whitts, Cowie, Eikrem
AM - Mutch, Noone, Daehli, Kim, Harris
STR - Campbell, Jones, Maynard, Mason

Would then like a new keeper, a centre back, winger with lots of pace and replacement for jones if he could be offloaded

Medel and Caulker to be sold to at least get some money back.

Jones is on crazy money so get rid of him too if we can, and with Bellamy retiring thats going to bring out wage bill into shape.


Noone, Campbell, Brayford, Mutch (if we can keep him) daelhi, Kim, Hudson, Cala, Turner, Marshall (if we can keep him) cowie will all be good for us in the championship.

Get rid of Taylor, Gunnersson, Smith. While who knows about Berget and Eikram

As usual when these threads come around at this time of year, we forget that players have contracts.

Its okay to say 'get rid' if a player is wanted elsewhere but I would assume that if they were wanted we'd probably also want to keep them.

Take KTC. It seems he is roundly unwanted by the fans. However he has three years left on a contract. Do you think he would gladly give that up?

It'll not come down to who we want to stay or go. The players will demand to leave or we will keep them.

Ole needs to keep the players who can play the way he wants. Simple as that. He has to build his own squad.
