Looks like the following will depart, freeing up some wages:
Greg Stewart
Brandon Barker
Jordan Jones
Jamie Barjonas
Jermain Defoe
Glenn Middleton
Lewis Mayo
Bongani Zungu (no loan or buy)
Jake Hastie (still 2-years in deal)
Also likely that Edmundson and / or Katic will go out on loan with one of them succeeding the Balogun role the following season.
I have a feeling also that failure to qualify for UCL Group stages could see Morelos away, but I think he will stay if we progress, such is his ambition.
Our midfield looks a bit weak now, but with a relatively ‘untried’ Nnamdi Ofobohr coming in, and hopefully a cured Ryan Jack to bolster the middle of the park, things look a bit better, but I still think we need another potential starter in there, as Arfield has peaked and Aribo better off higher up pitch.
I reckon we may be in the market for another striker to replace Defoe’s squad role or potential Morelos sale, and one more in midfield.
If I was being greedy, and in a ‘utopian’ world, Billy Gilmour on loan (possible if we make UCL?), Andreas Skov Olsen for pace and left balance, and a striker, which I think we would be in great shape, without a huge net spend.
