Summer rebuild

[toffeeblue9]

I really hope Thelwell isn't cockteasing us with these latest comments as he's basically said we're in a position this summer to invest heavily in a large number of players and bring in a much higher calibre of player than we previously could.

With loans ending and obscenely high contracts expiring, we're set to lose literally half the current squad. There clearly needs to be as big a turnover of playing staff as you're ever likely to see.

Yes, and that's consistent with what has been reported in the more reliable press

He did say "evolution, not revolution" though - so I wouldn't expect a dozen new faces this summer

I think that there's a chance the likes of Gana, Begovic, Virginia and even Keane get new deals. Maybe even Doucoure too because even if we did that, you're still going to need 6 or 7 new players. I sort of get it, there's only so much overhaul that's sensible in one window and doing deals for that many players might stretch us financially (we have no idea what sort of money we are going to be able to spend).

Broja is a promising player. There is a deal to be done at the right price and terms, I reckon.
