I think we are not far off another 'rebuild'. It seems to be every season.
Plenty of loan signings leaving. The likes of Mcgree / Forss / Jones and Clarke entering final year. So it's a case of sign them on or move. It would be a loss to loss to lose all 4. Mcnair almost nailed on to leave.
Hackney will be wanted. That and O'Brien leaving. That leaves Howson (maybe) and Barlaser as CMs. I don't think Barlaser is even good enough. Squad member at best.
The bonus is that the players we signed last summer are a year more experienced. They will benefit from that. We will have some longterm injuries back.
I've heard online that Mcgree and Forss want out? Clearly nothing official. Yet we'd do well to replace either with 'as good' or better. I'd be more concerned about losing Forss than Mcgree.
I think it's another big summer ahead. A RB / 2 x CMs and a forward would appear priority. The one good thing is that we finally have a decent No1 goalkeeper. . We don't have to worry about that
