    We need to gut the squad.

    We could do with fourteen new players: a goalkeeper, two right-backs, three centre-halves, a left-back, two central midfielders, an attacking midfielder, two left-wingers, and two strikers.

    These players are out of contract:

    De Vries
    Lustig
    Gamboa
    Toljan
    Boyata
    Benković
    Izaguirre
    Allan
    Burke
    Weah

    These players are substandard, or unready for first-team football:

    Gordon
    Hazard
    Doohan
    Ralston
    Compper
    Šimunović
    Hendry
    Mulumbu
    Bitton
    Ntcham
    Eboué
    Benyu
    Morgan
    Hayes
    Sinclair
    Johnston

    These players are unknowns, but likely substandard, or unready for first-team football:

    Pérez
    Gutman
    Arzani
    Bayo

    These players have uncertain futures:

    Brown (age)
    Griffiths (health)

    This is our core:

    Bain
    Ajer
    Tierney
    McGregor
    Christie
    Forrest
    Shved
    Rogić
    Henderson
    Édouard

    We need to invest heavily in the coaching and playing staff this summer if we are serious about progressing as a club.

    Might as well just sell every player.


    Start playing the under 15 and 16 teams.

    Unless someone wants a player we are stuck with them.



    Not a * chance every player on the list will go.

    A good core to work with.

    Would love if we got Benkovic back for another year as well as I think he’s the best CB we have at the moment and him and Ajer would be a great partnership.

    Let’s hope Bayo works out as good as he does on Fitba Manager.

    Realistically, we wont let go and look to replace half the squad. Put aside the cost of that, trying to bed a team together doesn’t always work out so only a trusted manager would be allowed to make those kinds of wholesale changes. That being said, its time for the team to be refreshed with some new faces, and for some players to leave no matter who takes over.

    Get rid of as much deadwood as possible and improve the first-team. It sounds very simple, but it obviously isn't. No more squad fillers. Our squad seems to be constantly getting bigger and our first-team weaker.

    What we need is a new manager/coach in who can assess and possibly improve players we currently have.
    Frustrated as I am it's no good going through our squad and saying get rid of most of them.
    1 Like other people say no buyer, no deal.
    2 We could have players who will flourish under a new coach/system.
    The dust has settled on yesterday. Re-group get the treble treble clinched, let's see a bit of decisiveness from the board and push on.
    Momentum will be key going into the C/L qualifiers.
