The wage budget will need trimming if we are to bring people in and keep the finances ok. I don't expect us to retain more than perhaps one of the loanees.
On their way out - Thomas, and some others at the end of their deals will go, including Holland, Thatcher, Faye, Bent, Gibbs.
Along with that I reckon some of the fat and 'failures' will go: Sankfoa. Racon, Sinclair, McLeod, Christensen,
Wild cards: Gray, ZZ or Varney (currently rumoured), could go too to bring funds in.
First 11:
Weaver
(rightback) Mac Bougie Youga
(winger) (centre mid) ZZ (winger)
Varney Gray
The rest:
Iwulemo (I like him only Gray playing well will keep him out)
Dickson (good prospect)
Moo2
Semedo (keep him as he can fill in anywhere in defence
Fortune (would like to get rid but may need him)
Ambrose (can do a job ocassionally although I would rather not use him as a wide player at home)
Sam (winger shortage will keep him)
Basey
Montiero?
(some season long loans)

Gibbs, Sankofa, possibly Thatcher as I think he only signed an 18 month deal could be wrong about that though.
Youga is the interesting one as his contract is up at the end of the year and has now lost his place to Thatcher. He's desperate for first team football, so he may not want to sign another contract with us so he can leave for another team on a free where he'll play each week.
Todorov only signed for a season so he'll be released. He might be allowed to carry on training at Charlton to get fit and then decide if he's worth another contract.
I think we will see Bowyer and Mullins in.
I still think Mccarthy should go aswell sorry.
Thatcher is out of contract.
i think all that needs to be added is a right back aand a good box to box midfielder (as opposed to a not so good box to box midfielder like Zheng)......... Bowyer would be good (could probably get parker in a year or two too!!)
weaver,
mr x Fortune Bougherra youga
sam semedo mr y thomas
varney gray
is not a bad team if playing week in week out with each other
with ambrose, zheng,
Need a playmaker in the midfield. Someone who can pick out a pass and makes things happen. Actually come to think of it we had one earlier this year...
yassin
magic
paddy
youga
varney
racon
zz
????? (commons? jackson?)
gray
?????? (proper goal scorer)
RB (proven youngster) McCarthy Bougherra Basey
Lloyd Sam CM (box to box) Zheng Zhi Cook (on a permanent)
Gray ST (20 goal a season man)
One of Elliot/Randolph to stay. Elliot more likely having been handed new contract.
Thatcher to go with Youga staying to fight LB spot out with Grant Basey. Powell to become coaching staff.
Semedo to stay as cover for back four and central midfield. Fortune to leave. Hopeful for Sodje on permanent.
Holland to stay but without Pardew's obligation to play him every game. Goalscoring box to box central midfielder needed.
Thomas to go to Middlebrough / Wigan with Ambrose 50/50 to leave. Racon to stay with emergence of Wright / Arter on squad fringes.
Varney and Iwelumo to stay as back up strikers with Dickson making claims. Lita, Todorov, Faye, Bent, Sankofa all to go.
Moutaouakil to stay as prospect but no more. Proper right back needed with Halford not renewed.
- Weaver Randolph Elliott
- Moo2 McCarthy Magic Youga
- Ambrose Semedo ZZ Racon Basey
- Gray Varney Iwelumo
hopefully Dickson, Monteiro and some of the young players will break through a bit too. Release Todorov, Holland, Thatcher and if possible sell Thomas, Sam, Fortune, Sankofa and McLeod. Key summer signing should probably be a box to box central midfielder.
If he hadn't been crocked we would probably have done a lot better this season, plus we wouldn't have had to sign Gray and thus could probably have kept Reidy.
Please not Semedo, he has given the ball away sooooooo many times recently it's unbelievable. Every time he recieves a pass you can hear the whole of the covered end groan. We need a ball winner in the middle of the park and I find it difficult to see it beeing him.
I also wonder if the same might apply to Gibbs.
He was signed as a Premiership player don't forget so has probably got something about him.
