This is less of an opinion thread than factual one... there are plenty of squad debate threads out there

I pretty much agree with that list, but I would retain Bate, and Adams if possible. Obviously if we go down some of the players you want to keep will leave for pastures new. But I agree it is no good keep rolling out those failed players again and again. We need to start again and bring our younger players into the team. With those sales you mention we could make a few shrewd purchases too.

Probably got more spine than the players .

[The Subhuman]

We missed Mateusz Bogusz going to LA FC in the States on a permanent, he's signed a three year contract there on March 31st

[geronimo]

the list keeps getting smaller as the weeks go by

[pjm2019]

List of available players for this season + recent signing from Chelsea not listed. Seems Farke is getting our defence sorted first and then seeing who else will leave before looking at midfield/forward incoming
