I fully understand the need to off load quite a number of the present staff, but feel the new coach should make an assesment in pre season.
Just a personal point of view, but i would be inclined to keep mori, and ship out Keane, would keep Niass, and send Bolasie, back to where he came from, Klassan, is a good footballer, but just not suited to the premiership
With regret Galloway is not good enough and why we have givern a three year deal to Pennington, when he could not hold down a place in a championship side seems very odd.
Just hope Braned can sought it.

Agree with all of that apart from Klassen, think he deserves a go under a more attack minded manager.
Defo keep Niasse
Defo get rid of Bolasie.

I want us to be top six, but in all seriousness we have to look at our players and ask if first they are top six standard and then if not can they improve to top six standard. Based on that I wouldn’t have Niasse, or Bolasie and no doubt a few more. I know it was great to see Niasse fight his way through that nightmare that Koeman put him in but there comes a time when with all the will in the world, the fight still falls short of what’s required. Regarding Bolasie, well he wasn’t top six when we bought him and has only got worse. Without sounding unsympathetic since his injury.

Klassen hasn’t had near enough game time to show if he can take the premier. So I can’t really say much there. Funes Mori also isn’t good enough and even though I had longings for him to return asap this season it was only due to the options on the left being rank poor whilst Baines was injured.

The only way to break the top six is to either recruit or develop to that standard. And sell those who fall short.

I can't see there being many changes in the current squad. As most people know its too big but who would teams actually want, probably the players we would like to keep. I can't see many clubs coming in for the likes of Martina, Williams or Bolaise. We may only sell Rooney, possibly Mori, MCCarthy Besic and Mirallas. We all know we could do with new LB LCD and additional Striker but we may have to settle with what we have for a few transfer windows.

Unfortunately the squad needs another overhaul. We need a number 2 goalkeeper. At the back Williams, Funes Mori, Martina are not good enough Baines and Jagielka getting too old. Defensive midfield I can't/ won't forget that Schneiderlin didn't perform or even try to perform for much of the season. In midfield Rooney hasn't the pace, Davies needs to learn how to pass the ball again. In attack Bolassie useless, Niasse, a tryer but simply not top six quality, Miralles get rid. Questions about Ramirez and Klassen that, quite frankly, they should have answered by now themselves.

Squad far too big and payroll is crippling


There is an awful lot of work for the new team to sort out. They will need our patience.

I think that we should keep Niasse and Bolasie. Progress has to be gradual. I'm working off the assumption that we should only sign 3 or 4 quality first team players. And I also think we should have 2 players for every position. We are not going to sign 2 strikers, and in case me play 2 up top we need 4 strikers (Tosun, DCL, new striker, Niasse) so Niasse is a good last ditch option when we are running out of ideas.

I believe that we can save money by starting Lookman and giving him a proper run in the team. Bolasie would be good to come off the bench and run at players for the last 20 mins or so.

The players to get rid of are:
Williams (past it)
Martina (not good enough)
Schneiderlin, Mirallas (awful attitude)
Browning, Galloway, Garbutt, Tarashaj (not going to make it)
Robles Sandro (don't want to be here)
