Looking at the current squad of 25 plus our fringe players who do we need to say goodbye to now, in six months time, and to get in? Dave just closed a bumped thread and the lead up to the transfer window is going to cause mayhem on here
GK: Hennessey no 1, McCarthy long term backup & Speroni short term as in final 6 months of contract (eventual new young keeper in summer)
RB: Ward no 1 /Kelly capable backup (in emergency Ward can cover LB)
CB: Delaney no 1 but probably 18 months then would be a great coach/ Hangeland capable backup but likely final six months?
CB: Dann no 1 /need one young CB for long term Delaney succession and back up as only really Brede at right level - sell Mariappa, if QPR interested, part of an Austin deal along with Campbell?
LB: Souaré no 1/ Need back up as cover very tight (Santon?) - Sell or give away Hunt and Fryers, neither of whom will ever make the team (how fast will Scales come along?)
CM: Cabaye no 1/ Jedinak capable backup for certain games - sell Johnny Williams who can’t get into NF team regularly (if money is right for Jedi to go we need more cover, otherwise great club captain)
CM: McArthur no 1/ Ledley capable backup
RW: Zaha no 1/ Lee Chung-yong capable backup
LW: Bolasie no 1 / Sako capable backup (also young players to come through)
ACM/hole: Puncheon or Chamakh as joint no 1 (last six months for Cham unless injuries clear and he gets another year?)/Mutch back up
CF: Wickham no 1 / Chamakh backup but preferably new player as injuries bound to happen (need to end the loan deal for Bamford and possibly loan somebody else, get Campbell off the books anyway we can to save 35K, sell or keep Gayle but we need a goal scorer as a loan or new buy)
Realistically, as we all agree, the Wickham alternative is required as well as a succession plan and cover at centre back, with left back cover required but not so urgent.
Gayle and Jedi could raise decent money but also offer us something (Gayle can be on the wing if Sako is injured) - others suggested to go will free up wages and are never going to be part of a top four team.
We can loan 2 if Bamford goes, but they need to be players with a view to 'try before you buy' rather than other peoples potential future players.
