At the end of the 23/24 season we lined up: Sa, Semedo, Kilman, Dawson, Toti, RAN, Lemina, Gomes, Hwang, Cunha, Neto.
As at this moment only 3 of them are likely to be playing for us next season - just over 12 months later.
We have added Emmanuel, Andre and JSL as definitive first 11 players so are some 5 short of a strong first 11.
Given we were always short on depth and will probably/presumably/hopefully lose a few of the weaker members of the squad we probably need to add another 5 squad players as well.
Although it is possible that Bueno, Yerson and Bellegarde/Munetsi might now be regarded as first 11 players we still need to add circa 10 new players.
Given the impossibility of getting every transfer correct we probably need to be signing something like a minimum of 15 new players over the summer!
That is some task!
Obviously we have no idea of the budget - wages and fees - but let's assume we will spend circa £150m and wages won't be a problem as we will not be signing established stars from major sides i.e. players already earning high wages.
Nevertheless we will need to be careful and find some bargains/frees or take a player or two on loan!
Going forwards then
GK: Sa/new - would have loved Kelleher (as number 1 and sold Sa to help fund ) but missed out.
RWB New/Lima - don't think Lima is ready (No idea for first choice but left field suggestion of Tanganga of Millwall - release clause of £1.2m low wages homegrown v physical prospect as back up who can play both CB/RB).
CBs - New/Emmanuel/Toti Back ups Yerson/ 2 new preferably at least one left sided- (Robert Renan on loan from Zenit ( issues?). Doc/S. Bueno/Djiga as, (at the moment), 7th or 8th best options at best.Maybe S Bueno will be sold or Djiga loaned out.
LWB - New/H Bueno. If we think H Bueno is the number 1 then Serge Reguilon on a free is an option as a cheap but experienced back up who has always looked good going forwards if a little suspect defensively
Midfield Andre/Gomes - back ups New/Traore or Doyle assuming neither moving on.
Forwards New/JSL/New - huge ask here as we are looking v short of goals and creativity. Back ups Bellegarde/New/Munetsi - assuming Hwang and Guedes move on and Sasa retires injured.
Thoughts and realistic ideas for the new players?

So who are we clearing out then lads? Cunha, semedo and nouri are all in the balance with Sarabia. I'd shift Johnstone, Dawson, Doyle as he doesn't look like VP wants him, Hwang, Sasa, Guedes and Forbs. Noticed we've got quite a few young lads too who never make an appearance like Enzo, Lima, Chiwome, are these lads getting games for the U21's or just training and sitting on the bench every week? seems like a waste.

What a farce of a game so far. The ref seems to be seeing things with a blue tint. We should/could of scored 2 or three. We let delap run free for their goal.
Ipswich are wasting time however they can and why did we get a free kick 6 yards from goal?
We need to keep cool heads, put some pace up front and be abit more confident in our play l. Not sure the ref will award us a goal if we do score tho hope vp gives em a wake up.during HT. COYW get back in it quick.

3 points in the bag! Can we catch West Ham?

Brilliant 3 points Wolves! Unfortunately Munetsi hadn't his shooting boots on to make it more comfortable.
