Here is the full squad: The core for next season. Who do you move on. Decision is yours!?

Col: I agree the extent of the cul is essential(y)
The big earners are part of the issue: Fletcher, Saville and Assombalonga are [financially] unsustainable.
I would add Anfernee to that and sell Marcus Browne to Ocford.
If any club comes in for Dael Fry we should sell him in order to reinvest.

Sam Stubbs is a good young defender who has experience on loan - we need to use him in the first team.
There are others in there who may get their chance sooner, depending on who the manager is.

We cant afford to buy-in expensive experiments and mercenaries any longer.


Have you seen him play ....Stubbs
 
No. Position Player
1 GK Tomás Mejías - Bin
2 DF Anfernee Dijksteel - Keep not had much of a chance yet
3 DF George Friend(captain) - Coaching roll
5 DF Ryan Shotton - Bin
6 DF Dael Fry - Keep unless we get a reasonablke offer
7 MF Marcus Tavernier - Keep but not convinced by him
8 MF Adam Clayton - sadly I think his time is up. Great servant.
9 FW Britt Assombalonga - Bin
11 FW Ashley Fletcher - Probably keep but not bothered if he goes
15 MF Ravel Morrison(on loan from Sheffield United) - Bin
16 MF Jonny Howson - only if playing in defence. Not fit enough for wingback or midfield.
17 MF Paddy McNair - Bin
18 DF Harold Moukoudi(on loan from Saint-Étienne) - I would like to keep him but don't think it will happen.
19 MF Patrick Roberts(on loan from Manchester City) - Probably keep him but not as enamoured with him like some on here. No end product.
20 MF Lukas Nmecha(on loan from Manchester City) - Bin
21 MF Marvin Johnson - Tempted to keep him. He wont be a big earner and he can (averagely) cover a number of positions.

No. Position Player
__
MF Marcus Bowne - Keep him. Looks better than what we have when I have seen him for Oxford. Someone just needs to calm him down a bit.
22 MF George Saville - Bin my patience is long gone looking for the player in him.
25 DF Nathan Wood - Keep but send on loan
26 MF Lewis Wing - Bin he has been so poor this season I would move him on.
27 DF Marc Bola - Keep not had much of a chance yet
28 DF Sam Stubbs - Keep but never seen him play
29 DF Djed Spence Keep
30 GK Dejan Stojanović Keep - he's only done ok so far though.
33 DF Hayden Coulson - Keep
34 MF Connor Malley - Not seen enough of him
35 FW Tyrone O'Neill - Not seen enough of him
36 FW Stephen Walker - Bin. He will not make it as a striker here.
37 DF Ben Liddle - Not seen enough of him
40 GK Zach Hemming - Who - Not seen enough of him
41 FW Rumarn Burrell - Not seen enough of him but got a few goals for stiffs(some from the bench)
42 GK Aynsley Pears - if we keep Stojanovic I would Bin Pears. Not much between them so one or other.
44 MF Hayden Hackney - Not seen enough of him

The wage bill for that lot would be higher than what we have now.
 
The wage bill for that lot would be higher than what we have now.
I bet they would be comparable to what we have now. Joe Hart and Ben Gibson look like the big hitters there... maybe a bit over the top with them.
(but they’re all free transfers)

I’d get rid of Britt purely cos we can’t afford him If we are in league 1 and we might some money from selling him which will be useful.

I’d keep all the current loanees ideally except Nmecha but don’t actually think we’ll see any of them here next season for various reasons.

Don’t know enough about a lot of the youngsters to make a judgement so they’ve been kept.

A LOT of work to be done this summer whatever division we are in.

Put the champ manager game down. 😏
 
We'll still owe money on the transfer fee of Saville, (and Assombalonga and others?) so any income from them selling them wont necessarily generate money for new players.

We would never get anything near what we paid for either Saville or assombalonga.

I suppose the reverse is true and we are probably still owed some incoming transfer money.
 
Here`s the current squad.
Your objective is to establish a core of players for next season.
You have a brief to reduce wages and the size of the squad.

I know that is virtually all of the senior players gone, but some money generated and a very large wage bill saved when added to Randolph, Ayala and Gestede.
Take a look at the table, what these experienced lads are paid and tell me we couldn't do a hell of a lot better with their supposed value and costs.
The clear out has to be major.
Don't hold on to useless players who are done for fear of squad turnover.

I agree Indeedi.
That squad is so unbalanced its listing.
I take no pleasure, just like yourself, in pointing out the obvious.:(
 
While I'm not desperate to see anyone leave I can honestly say I wouldn't bat an eyelid if any of them left either
Some have been less bad than others but youngsters apart what have any of them done this season?
