    Right back, centre half, left winger and striker are needed next season (ones that can walk into the team and are of high quality). It helps that Griff may be back and that it looks like Benkovic might be back too. Try and sign him up on loan asap so that he can have pre season with us and play in the qualifiers. Don't know why he didn't play today, he's our best centre half imo.

    Making a profit is fine but not the be all and end all.

    Gordon, Hendry, Commper, Bitton, Ntcham, Eboue, Rogic and Sinclair can all be sold. Surely to Christ we can build a team from that plus what’s already banked!

    Get stephen O’Donnell in as a back up RB, Greg Taylor as a back up LB (we desperately need one). Give Mulumbu a second chance (our midfield enforcer), Griff back and Bayo fit (3 strikers)....that’s the cheap options then spend big on an experienced CB (or secure Benkovic on a 2 year loan) and right back! Maybe a couple of midfielders but brown and Henderson in will see us through !

    Bain

    New RB Ajer Benkovic KT

    Forrest Christie McGregor Johnstone

    Eddy Bayo


    Doohlan

    O’Donnell New CB Jozo Taylor

    Arzini Brown Mulumbu Henderson Hayes

    Griff

    Cmon to *...that’s the cheap option and it should still see us through to the 10!

    £7mil compo for Rodgers and staff.

    60k+ a week- £3mil a year- freed up in wages for them.

    £30mil+ in season tickets and £8mil+ in sponsorship deals for the year.

    £3mil prize money for last season.

    £10mil for our Europa League progression.

    Lustig, Allan, Gamboa, Boyata all off the wage bill increasing our wage budget by £50k+ per week, £2mil per year minimum added to wage budget.

    I expect nothing but frees and loans.

    Let go of DDV,Lustig,Gamboa,toljan,Compper,Boyata,Allen,Izzy,benyu,mulumbu,Burke,

    Players on loan
    Ralstan
    Morgan

    Players sold
    Gordon
    Hendry
    Bitton
    Sinclair

    Brink back Benkovic on loan and paddy Roberts. With them players sold we would break even.

    Just need first choice GK and RB and CB. Along with back up RB and LB

    We would need a number 10 and a call on Griff to keep or replace.

    I’m hoping for 20m but know it’s a long shot but the savings in wages will be huge

    I'm not sure it's quite the amount that is the issue it's seems its our process of scouting players has had the * fall out it.

    I mean you look some teams around Europe and they do very well in finding extremely good players within the under 10mill bracket even under 5 mill.

    We have such an endless list of players that we have spunked 2/3 million quid on that either don't get a game or are just plain *.

    I think we'll make a profit this season with Moussa leaving Lyon and us selling atleast Ntcham we may also sell Rogic and Sinclair increasing the profit.

    Creative no; 10 if Rogic goes for a good price.
    NO more * projects*. We need quality over quantity. Squad would be well trimmed and replaced with better quality.

    I think on the surface the club will appear to spend 5-10 million or so in transfer fees...

    ...But this could very likely be a ‘negative’ as I’m certain there will be more money brought in through outgoing players.

    We will all be expected to accept this as progress as usual.

    You think we will not sign a player this summer? Even freebies cost money and signing on fees which is counted as expenditure

    I am only half-joking! I am sure we will sign players, I am just not optimistic at all.

    Personally I wouldn't mind if we signed three bosmans over three 2-4 mill signings as long as they were quality..

    It's about getting the right quality that can come straight in to the first team. If we can do that fairly cheap, great....if we can't, then they must back Lenny with the adequate fund's..

    Wouldn't be surprised if we spend 20-30 million. They know how important the next two seasons are and if they don't spend a lot and we don't win the league they'll be chased out.

    We’ll spend about £8m-£10m, mainly on defenders and hopefully Paddy Roberts.

    Hopefully get Rekeem Harper on a free and I can see Lennon bringing in Hooper on a free.

    Shved, Arzani, Bayo and Griff will be like new signings as well.
