Moore, Buxton, Pearce, Dawson, Gobern, Simpson would definitely cover the major areas in my eyes. However expect to see Lookman, Teixeira and possibly Fox leave in that time

Since relegation I have always thought the departures would be more significant than the arrivals.
We'll see what happens with Tex but as with everything this boards done you just can not guess what they'll do next.
My mate who spoke to Steve Avory had said Charlton were not looking to sell Texeira...
He has now come back and said imagine an Vetokele type scenario, he will go somewhere else at a higher level on loan, to return to us in January to strengthen us in the second half of the season.
I asked if he's spoken to Avory again and he said no... So I'm calling BS on him this time.
So this brilliant masterplan involves loaning out players to free up the wage burden and then getting them back when we're promoted to the Championship!

No this only applies to Vetokele as far as I know.

I'd sooner keep Tex and ditch Vetokele if that's what they want to do. We can build a team around Tex ...
Is that really a surprise? He was one of our better players last season and can, and at his age will be wanting to, play at a higher level than League 1 - looking at his career he's not stayed in one place for long - the only surprise is that its taken so long for him to leave.
If Pearce is the replacement and is paired with Bauer then that's a promotion standard centre of defence. With Lennon and a RoJo with a full pre season behind him we are good to go. Solly with Foley backing him up. Fox with THD. Defence would be good to go.

Problem is that our board won't agree to a sensible approach

I doubt whether Bauer will be match fit for the start of the season as he's yet to feature in any of the friendlies - if he was fit then I suspect he'd be another one out the door. With Lennon also recovering from injury it looks like relegation Roger might be on the team sheet in August unless Slade is allowed to bring in 2 new CBs
Comments
IN: Moore, Foley, Pearce, Dawson, O'Hara/Gobern, + 1 striker
OUT: Phillips on loan to Cheltenham, Tex sold, and possibly Lookman sold.
But hoping to maybe see a team at some point of something like:
Moore
Solly Pearce Lennon/Bauer Fox
Holmes Dawson O'Hara Harriott
Ajose Novak
