    Cheers; it’s a great relief
    There will be loads of transfer gossip coming up this summer. I hope this time Cardiff don’t naively turn up in the PL and think they can wing it.

    Sessignon is Chelsea bound.
    Moitrovic will be too expensive
    Grealish is a t*sser. Don’t want him.

    Should Fulham fail in the play offs, how about Crainey?

    Bigger clubs will be sniffing but would he want to be a bench warmer? Chance to be the main man with us.

    Would be our biggest ever fee but a known quantity and a good investment.

    I think Neil will probably only bring in 4 or 5 players who play his way with a little more skill on the ball. Seems to be the message coming out of the club. Spend wisely.

    I can imagine more than 5 coming in as there will be double that going out.

    6 loan players going back to their parent clubs, a similar number out of contract and probably not to be renewed. Gunnar and Hoilett likely to be offered new deals, but the knife, Connelly and others will be let go.

    Can't imagine much change in the back 5 and the core of the centre midfield won't need much fettling, though a bit of creativity won't go amiss. Can see Ken and Junior remaining in poll position up front, but NML will become a squad player, albeit an important one.

    One question. How much value can Colin generate from current squad players to allow him to spend for next year. Madine? Tomlin?

    Another question. How many freebies can Colin find that will be of premier league quality? And some of that will come down to salaries.

    As I said on another thread, I'm glad we have the extra 3 weeks for him to start the process than the playoffs would buy him.

    Expect some deals to be developing in the background now.

    Yeah. I meant 4 or 5 who will be first team starters. He will add a few more squad players for sure :)

    Would be good but surely he is destination Swans if they stay up and doubt he would want to play for us!

    You never know, Ramsey might decide to do a Bellamy and come home. Wenger leaving might be the deciding factor.......<whistle>

    Now that would be nuclear!!! Can't think of a better midfield player for us and a perfect fit.

    Neil, get talking and Vince, get the cheque book out. <ok>

    Took the words out of my mouth - would be ideal in central midfield.

    Would be nice to have a couple Welsh lads in the team.
    Not suggesting any of the above would possibly be here for a number of reasons, but a couple Welsh qualified players would be nice. One or two through the academy wouldn't go amiss either.

    Our of our squad whom can you see starting in August?

    Bennett, Morrison, Bamba, Ralls, Paterson, Hoilett and Zahore for me.

    Etheridge possibly.

    Useful squad players could be NML, Ward, Gunners.

    Need a proven keeper, right back, central midfield playmaker and holding player, left winger and striker.

    Madine, Damour, Peltier and a few others could be moving on.

    Peltier could stay. Warnock likes him. Thought ward was on loan.

    Likely to be a big turnover in players though.
