Goaty; if we moved on these boys that i listed above;

Lossl
Virginia
Kenny
Pennington
Besic
Connolly
Baningime
Bolasie
Bowler
Tosun
Sandro


We would have a squad of 20.

Do you think this amount of sales is unrealistic if brands was able to find a buyer for each?

Also would a squad of 20 be the end of the cull or could you see more players leaving?

Think 20s perfect because then we bring in a RB, CB, 2xCMs and a RW to get us up to 25.

Ideally I'd like us to splash on two attackers, but can't see it in this reduced window, gordon and kean will have more impact I'd imagine and we have to see the benefit of some other players with a proper midfield until Jan.

I can see all of those leaving, maybe not both the keepers, but I imagine they will all leave in some form.

I can see possibly another 10-15 players leaving from the list personally. Most we know about mentioned above, but expecting a few surprises.

Not expecting wholesale "first team" changes, but can imagine theres a few that will be looking for the exit and we will certainly be showing them where it is.

Can see about 5 incomings, few loans, maybe a free, not massive money spent, but we can improve without spending a fortune if we are clever.

Added Niels, for now.

 

[Sinski]

Broadhead? Similar to Bowler.

 

[AmericasToffee]

Niels is eligible to be HG?

 

[Pat Butcher]

Niels is eligible to be HG?

Nope he's 19, if he was 18 and he played part in 3 separate seasons here before he turns 21 he could be classed as HG but we've missed out

 

[billyblue80]

Kenny, Davies, Pennington, Bolasie, Besic, Bowler, Benni, Sandro, Tosun, Delph all gone either sales or loans by the end of the window I reckon.
