How many can we replace in one go without it ruining next season?
Keep Butland, Diomande, Sterling, Sima and Yilmaz
The rest can go.
Christ our squad has so much shite in it. You've not even named them all there.The team needs absolutely gutted. All the players that are out of contract need moved on then you have Lammers, Hagi, Davies, Lawrence, Cantwell, Dowell, Goldson and Matondo who we should be actively trying to sell.
You then have the likes of Tav, Raskin, Dessers and Ridvan where we would need to seriously consider any offers.
We need to bring in young athletic players with pace and strength
It’s going to be a really big number mate I think ur right .How many can we replace in one go without it ruining next season?
the cycle is utterly tedious. We roll the dice on the manager and who he brings in.Some people blaming why this season was lost, on Beale?
In my mind, Beale was given the keys to the city, and was allowed to blow major wads, on inadequate players, that could haunt us for seasons yet!
Think you'll find it was others that facilitated this.
This time last year.
Talk was.
"Big rebuild now for Beale, and it's going to be a big summer for recruitment".
Now. One year on.
We are no further forward.
Will history repeat itself this summer?
And will Clement be allowed to do the same?
BIG summer for this board.
tbc
Agreed.the cycle is utterly tedious. We roll the dice on the manager and who he brings in.
The only roll that worked was Gerrard. Obviously jury out on Clement, but it's depressing how we are setup from the board down.

12 -15?I think it will between 12 and 15 out the door and similar numbers in.
Huge summer. Big injection of energy, power and speed required obviously along with high quality technical ability. Hopefully see players between 18 to 24 making up the majority of those signings.
No it won't. Unless anyone wants to buy any of our players we will be replacing the ones out of contract. That's itThis will be the biggest squad overhaul we've ever seen, make no mistake. Once Clement has had 3 transfer windows to work with, only then can we judge him.
If we get continuity then I’ll stop watching football altogether scunnered watching losersAs many as we can.
People put too much into continuity, why would i want our abject failure of our squad to continue?
We want something new.
I agree.No it won't. Unless anyone wants to buy any of our players we will be replacing the ones out of contract. That's it
The lotHow many can we replace in one go without it ruining next season?
We've done it with Souness, Advocaat and Warburton. It worked fineI don’t buy into the fact that draining the swamp can ruin a season.
Celtic absolutely gutted their squad after failing to win the 10 and won the title.
We need to utterly gut the place from the losers and dross. It’s long overdue otherwise we’ll continue to be second best. There has to be a full blown mentality change at this club and from certain sections of the fans who are happy with just the odd cup win.
We might need to sell butland to finance change, diomande mmmmmmm, sima we probably can’t afford and Yilmaz might want to leave.Keep Butland, Diomande, Sterling, Sima and Yilmaz
The rest can go.
Keep these 5, expunge the rest, sign 5/6 absolute young ballers with potential for selling on with the freed up funds, use the youths as back up and subs.Keep Butland, Diomande, Sterling, Sima and Yilmaz
The rest can go.
In which case we are totally screwed. These are the only consistent quality we have and Yilmaz is only just proving that now.We might need to sell butland to finance change, diomande mmmmmmm, sima we probably can’t afford and Yilmaz might want to leave.
There's a number of guys out of contract. That accounts for a good chunk. Then you've got players like McCrorie who was reported to be wanting first team football, Wright who has been on his way several times, Lawrence and Dowell who have struggled to get back up to speed and stay fit, plus the loan players like Silva and Sima. The latter being an interesting one depending on price tag.12 -15?
Seriously?
Curious who are the 12-15?
If it was up to Clement right now he would be more than likely be offering Lunny a new contract!!!
"Meet new boss. Same as the old boss"
Exactly. What’s the point in half arseing it and keeping some players to keep some continuity, when that continuity is winning %^*& all?I don’t buy into the fact that draining the swamp can ruin a season.

I can't see anyone coming in for Tavernier eitherWho is going to buy Davies, Lawrence, Dowell, Goldson and Matondo given the money they are on.
That’s my worry
I can certainly see some sweetners being offered to players to go, that’s for sure.I can't see anyone coming in for Tavernier either
I hope so mate it needs it!I can certainly see some sweetners being offered to players to go, that’s for sure.
Other than Souttar, that’s pretty much where I am. I have no idea why Souttar should be kept. He is every bit as bad, if not worse, than the other centre halves.At this rate the only ones I'd see us keeping are Butland, Ridvan, Souttar, Sterling, Diomande, Cortes, Danilo and Sima if the price was right.
Felt like I had to pick a CB to be a squad player.Other than Souttar, that’s pretty much where I am. I have no idea why Souttar should be kept. He is every bit as bad, if not worse, than the other centre halves.
I might keep Cantwell too in the hope that if enough gets fixed around him we get the Cantwell from the second half of last season and in flashes this season.

Having that volume of players move on and bringing similar amount in is big undertaking. We don't know what our Lundstram offer was. It could have been on reduced wages. Doesn't matter now based on reports anyway.
