Players I would keep are:
- Vigouroux & Fisher
- Cabango, Tymon, Parker, Burgess (only because we can't be down to one CB in the building like last year)
- Franco, Galbraith, Stamenic, Widdell, Walta, Fulton, Eom & Inoussa
- Vipotnik & Idah (but happy if Idah we sold Idah and recouped what we payed)
I'm assuming the loanees are not returning and Ward is not either.
Personally I think we need to sell Key, Cullen & Ronald.
Also need to move on Cooper, Santos
Farman I have no idea but assume he goes.
That leaves us with a 16 man squad and looking at 9 additions.
Questions that spring to mind are:
Q - How many loanees will come in next season?
A - Lets assume 3 again as a reasonable number
Q - Can we sell Key, Cullen and Ronald and how much would that generate?
A - Hopefully we can and maybe it generates £4m
Q - How many of the players coming back from loan can step up and contribute next season?
A - We won't know until Matos takes a look in pre-season, but let's say 2 (Lissah and Congreve)
Q - If we only generate £4m would we also need need to sell Vipotnik or Galbraith to add 4 more (5 if one of those goes) players to the squad
A - Most likely yes and for me Galbraith is easier to replace, plus I wouldn't want Idah as our no1 striking option.
Will be interesting to see if Matos has connections either at Liverpool or in Portgual that can unearth some quality bargins
