    Given that we on a one way ticket to the Championship...got me thinking after the loanee's go and our better players sold, who will we be left with.
    Do we have the basis of any kind of team for a campaign in he Championship?

    I can see Mika, Jones, Oviedo, Love, N'Dong, McNair, Honeyman, Gooch, Watmore and Asoro still being around. I think all of those would do a decent enough job in the Championship.
    I wouldn't be surprised if Rodwell, Djilobodji, and Anichebe were still around either. A season or two in the championship might give those three a chance to rebuild confidence/form.
    I'd love it if Kirchhoff was still here. I don't care about his injuries, when he's fit he's sheer class.
    As for the rest of them, apart from Pickford and Defoe, I couldn't care less.
    Our chances in the Championship depend really on sensible recruitment to reinforce what we have left over from this season and on how successfully the u23 players can be introduced. Just recruiting for the Championship isn't enough though. We have to have a longer term plan, with different scenarios factored in. Can't see any of that happening under the current owner/manager combo though.

    Can't disagree with most of that Norton..but I would personally drive Djilobodji to another club...what a complete and utter waste of DNA he is.

    I think we'll get rid of Bod, seems like Moyes is aware he's ****. Anichebe is someone we must keep especially if we're trying to bring through Asoro and Maja into the first team. Rodwell will be fine in the champs and no doubt Moyes has a boner for him as ex Everton so I think we'll keep him and he might actually be pretty good.

    Ndong is a must keep, shouldn't be too hard. Sell Kirchhoff unless it's a case of one big surgery and he should be alright after but I doubt that.

    I would love to see Pickford stay. Do you really think that is going to happen?

    Probably just Pickford, but I think we say goodbye to N'Dong, Kone, Defoe Khazri, Lens, and i've a feeling Cattermole and Borini as well

    Some of the poorer ones might be ok down there.
    Like Jones for example.

    I think we should prepare for a longer than usual spell out of the top flight and a team unrecognisable from what we have now. Personally if this means our team is made up in the majority by young players from the lower leagues and academy products and we actually build something I'd be happy. Simply throwing whatever money is available at players to get us up at the first attempt would see us back in a relegation fight again the following year... And that's If it works! No we need to rebuild the identity of the club from top to bottom and getting a team that reflects the fans values will be a big step in that.

    Not many I actually want to stay.

    Keep the younger lads: Love, McNair, Gooch, Watmore, I'll add N'Dong into this bracket while bringing in some of the others from U23s

    If Moyes is still in charge he'll keep: Oviedo, Anichebe, Gibson, Rodwell for their Everton roots.

    Possibly Catts as his skipper. Pretty ambivalent to Vito.

    Only Defoe and Pickford are our real assets, possibly Kone, though rumour has it Defoe can go for free.

    Kirchhoff, O'Shea and Larson out of contract.

    Loanee's will go back, Denayer, Januzaj, Manquillo.

    Papy can 'koff as can Borini and Khazri.

    Think that covers it pretty much.
