36 Players at the club including Healey and Harris

With more players obviously still to come in (maybe Macheda by tomorrow) how many players do you think need offloading? Including Burgstaller as a central midfield player (he can play across the pitch but often seems quite central watching the YouTube clips of him) i make it that we have 10 central midfield players at the club - surely too many. Medel will no doubt be gone by the start of next season but even so we seem overloaded in that postion.

I have included Cowie in the list as he has been offered a contract - with the amount of players already in that position i cannot really see why - unless Ole is intending to offload a number of our players in that position.

The CM list as i make it is:

Whittingham
Mutch
Eikrem
Burgstaller
Kim
Gunnarsson
Cowie
Medel
Ralls
Kiss

From that llist, I expect Medel & Kiss to go and maybe Kimbo, especially if a decent offer came in from abroad. He has said that he would like to play in Germany.

Cowie, I believe, will join up with Malky again and there is a chance that Mutch will be a target for a PL club......maybe one of the newly promoted ones.

Although losing Medel and Caulker seems both inevitable and the right choice for both player and club i do hope we can hold onto the likes of Mutch and Noone. Players who might attract Premier interest but also might just stay with us and help us try to get back up again.

If we held onto Mutch i would be ok with seeing all the rest go and maybe Gunnarsson as well. I am interested to see if Ralls fits into Ole's plans and just how Burgstaller will be utilised.

I still believe we need at least one and probably two genuine wingers to add to the squad.

Just hope we get all our transfer business - incoming and outgoing - as soon as possible. With it being a World Cup year though it's likely that we'll keep on increasing the squad before any PL clubs come calling.

Im more worried about our striker situation personally.

Campbell
Javi Guerrera
Mason
Maynard
Healey
Jones
Berget
Macheda (?)
Lewis Grabban (?)


In a team that's probably going to play a 4-5-1, that means we have 9 players fighting for one place. Looks like Mason and Healey may never get a chance.

Mason, Campbell, Jones, Maynard I can see leaving, Also not forgetting velcro only went out on loan,so I can see him leaving,

would it Hurt sending healy out on short term loan?

Grabban deal is that actually going to happen, ???

Campbell & Jones to leave and Grabban won't happen if we get Macheda.  Berget, Velcro &  Healey out on loan, leaving us with Guerra, Macheda, Mason & Maynard.........

Situation I see the most likely too, but can't say id be happy about leaving Mason to rot in the subs yet again. He deserves much more from us, be it first team football or the opportunity to find it elsewhere.
