With the outs, we should also part company with Sidwell and Skalak. I would retain Kayal with a new contract.

Until recently I assumed that we'll sign Ulloa, but now I'm not so sure. With another £100m plus to be banked in broadcasting income, the club might look further a field.

This. I agree with the posters on the player of the season thread, that Gross’s lickers are overrating his season, down to a few goals and assists. Need to ship him out.

I really rate Lemina and Ki, but due their proven PL quality, they would be sold for silly money. Stains are masters at this and Swansea won't be mugs. I can see Winstanley looking to overseas again.

If we signed another striker, and Hemed is happy to float around as a fringe player covering for injuries and the League Cup, I wouldn't be averse to keeping him. He can't be on big money. But if the squad numbers don't add up, I agree he would need to go.

When colossal clubs such as West Ham and Everton come knocking, offering big bucks, quality players say .....

Bloody hell, that is so key. Winstanley has gone from NSC villain (at times, by many), to being invaluable. The Albion have an amazingly effective system of gaining quality at value in most transfers inwards. In contrast as one example, Everton pinched Steve Walsh from Leicester, which has...

On recent showings, say just Knockaert, although he has improved a lot. More pace in CM would also be great. Not problems, but exciting challenges for the recruiters and CH to deal with. The future looks rosy.

Agree about Traore who flopped in the PL for both Villa and Boro (note, no clamour to sign him over the last year) and Lemina is a great CM in the Stephens role with more pace.

No room for sentiment where age has caught up with players, especially at PL level, unfortunately. The following IMO should NOT be included in our 2018/19 squad: Sidwell Skalak Rosenoir Norwood Bruno Needing four strikers, I'm not so sure that Hemed's time is up with us, but he won't get game...
