Summer of change?

[Ash88]

The added problem with Rogers and Hackney is they were both in the U21 category this season - and our squad is already full without them.

So either way - keep or sell - we don't have the additional places in the squad to sign replacements (unless under 22 years old), or sell others.

Bilongo is currently in our squad, so either he'll have to be sold... or Bangura sold and Bilongo takes his place on the bench.

All summers are summers of change. It’s necessary in modern football, at this level.

True. Also add in the fact that fans in the main crave new signings from the moment the previous season finishes until midnight on 31st August which if aren't delivered leads to accusations of the club "lacking ambition" or "letting down the manager".

Last summer we rebuilt the squad. This summer we desperately need to -

1. Replace the players who will be sold, out of contract etc
2. Improve the first team
3. Add some young uns with potential (the model).

As it stands, without knowing who will be sold, we will need 2xCF, RB, CMx2 minimum. There are 5 players for starters. Add in replacing the departing players...... easily 8-10 coming through the door.

Nature of the beast unfortunately.
