Baldock and Skalak seem like they will be the first 2 out.
Will we hold onto Norwood until our HGP numbers are sorted ?

No wasn’t quite like that, suppose what I meant is the clock is ticking somewhat and if we are looking to move some players out of the door there is an arguement that their value is actually going to decrease as the window nears to closing. It can’t be a secret we are looking to move them on and we might lose value.

I'm genuinely shocked we have 3 goalkeepers. Krul & Manepaa have left in pursuit of first team football and Button & Steele won't get much game time. January excluded. But I would have liked to have seen a U21 keeper take the 3rd spot.
Similar to goalkeepers, Uwe & Goldson have left due to lack of playing time, Balogun plus Bernardo who can cover should be enough.
Kayl only got a few appearances last season and now we have signed Bissouma then Norwood is clearly not required anymore and Towell isn't likely to make the step up.
Iranian Ali seems likely to sign meaning Skalak is surplus to requirements.
Baldock, Hemed & Locadia played very few games between them and with our formation of 4-5-1 or 4-4-1-1 we don't need 5 forwards. Understandably Murray may play a lot less than last year so him plus 3 others.

Fine when mentioning Hemed & Baldock - but don't put Locadia in the same boat... Hasn't had a chance yet - and i doubt we'd sell our (until recently) record signing, without giving him a chance... very very unlikely

Potentially a great move for him. Whatever anyone thinks of their fans, Millwall are a classy club with a top-class manager and excellent people behind the scenes.
Best of luck to Jiri. I reckon the Millwall fans will really take to the little mentalist.
And Steve Morrison will LOVE him.

Good luck Jiri, I'm surprised Rangers weren't in for him.
Good luck Jiri - will do well at Millwall, ideally suited in every respect

He certainly looks the part at first sight (proper nawty mentalist)
They may be a bit disappointed when they see all the photos with the little dog though.
They already have Jamie Murphy and Ryan Kent for the right midfield position.

I wasn't suggesting that Locadia wouldn't be involved this season I was merely highlighting how little game time they each had and Hemed and Baldock must realise they are way down the pecking order.

Skalak is the perfect fit for Millwall. I hope he kicks on there. Real shame that his ability doesn't match his mentality.
Nice to hear a new perspective on Hull. When I visited (for work) a year or so ago, a man had recently been shot in the local McDonalds and the only shops open on the High Street were bookies, Gregs and Poundland.

We must be releasing our squad numbers very soon.
Anyone with a number in the high 20s will be surely big candidates to be leaving.

Gross is the best crosser of the ball at the club, probably followed by Suttner
There is a new man in town!
Ali J’s countless surgical crosses along the deck to foot in his showreel were very very impressive. He always seemed to find his man.
Didn’t see a lot of good stuff in the air but then that’s not where Locadia will want it.

Good summary of where we are with the exodus today.

Interstingly mentions Hemed, which leaves us a striker short.
