If rumours are to be believed, or contracts not renewed, it could be any or all of Bissouma, Gross, Cucurella, Trossard, Maupay, MacAllister, Welbeck, Sanchez, Lamptey and big Shane.

The body language watchers will be out in force!

If all that lot go, we'll be waving goodbye to our chances next season.

This. Having finally stumbled on to a winning formula, it would be crazy IMHO for the club to hold a summer fire sale and assume they can apply the algorithm and just pick up where they left off. Doesn't work like that, sadly

There's no way (imo) that we'll lose even half of those listed above. If we do, then yep, we'd be struggling, for sure

It will not be ALL of them.

Tony simply will not sell a lot of high value players at once - 1 or 2 maximum per window.

I think Bissouma and Groß play their last games for us on Sunday.

Maybe Maupay and Duffy.

The "sell them all" brigade will be disappointed.

Player desire/ambition/greed trumps that though.

A billionaire chairman with a desire not to be pushed around trumps even that.

Agents know this. If a chairman is so hacked off he puts his foot down there is no transfer.

This is a bit like saying they would be crazy this summer IHMO to sack Graham Potter, not offer Welbeck, Trossard etc new contracts, not strengthen the team with some Cucurella, Mwepu like first team incomings, and so on. They won't so its a bit pointless to remind em of this fact but fair enough. But come on. Do you really think they would ?

Hard to blame them tho, it's a short career

I'd like to think that most would be happy to stay, especially if we manage a top 10 finish, coupled with the way the club is run, and be happy with earning a couple of million a year, despite it being a short career.

Sadly, not many tend to think like that.
