All we need next season

[Rich]

Is 3 signings as long as we keep Remy and one from Morrison or Taarabt.

2 CB's and a CM. I would go after Caulker for £8m plus another mid 20's cb and a cm with non stop running in him. Faurlin & Matty Phillips will step up and Remy will partner Austin, Bobby on bench. Out wide we have enough in Traore, Yun, Simpson, Hoilett and Phillips. 3 young cb's in onouha plus the 2 new ones with Dunne as back up. I'm not sure Kranjcar has the desire to get properly fit but if he does he might be worth a 1 year deal.

Move on the ageing ones like Park, O'Neill, Hill, Hughes & ones not good enough like Henry & SWP.

6th from bottom with safety secured with 5 games to go I reckon

with 3 signings we migh be able to field 11 players.....18 players are out of contract and expect most of them to be moved on.

[Rich]

You think we only have a squad of 29....?

[madara]

Sounds about right with bringing in 3 new players and perhaps a few more young ones. Please no Taarabt, especially if they dont want him no more.

[maidstone_hoop]

that squad of 29 includes 18 players out of contract and 6 or 7 who are on loan at other clubs...we are going to need a squad of 22 at the very least. With most of the players in that 18 not likely to get a new deal and 6 or 7 loan players not really wanted back at the club its going to be a pretty hefty recruitment process imo.

There is 22/23 players there either out of contract or going back to their parent clubs. We need to get rid of the players that have bled us dry the last few years. We have such a opportunity now to rebuild the club. Zamoras on 60 k a week and mostly been a crock we have to move these players on or renegotiate aggressively to bring wages down. Same as kranjar. Great player on his day but hes been injured alot. we cant afford to be in this position in the prem again.

[Ginger Ninja]

We wont keep Remy.

[maidstone_hoop]

exactly thats another one to add to the list plus taarabt - theres going to be one hell of a clear out. Think I left out granero too.
