Send Davies and DCL out on loan, try and sell Pennington, Galloway, Browning, Bolasie and Besic, if not send them out on loan too.
That'll do then.
Can we REALLY afford to send Davies and DCL on loan?
The others we wouldnt miss and hey if given the choice I would send Davies on loan and keep Besic, but if Besic goes, Davies has to stay IMO.
Sure a loan and regular game time would be ideal for both Davies and DCL, but their bodies are required here.
If we punt Pennington, Galloway, Browning, Bolaise and Besic and loaned out Beni and Dowell, that would leave us with 26 players, which IMO is an ideal number.
