    Not really, all guys we all think either aren't good enough or need to move on.

    I think he just wants to be made to feel important, Pellegrino pushed him to the fringes of the squad.

    Same list I came up with, except Gallagher instead of Reed and Romeu instead of Lemina. I just thought if we moved one midfielder on, we might hang on to Reed as a backup for that position and maybe give him a last chance to impress.

    But yeah, there's easily 11 players I think we would expect the club to be actively looking to unload or at least let go on their own way as a split would be mutually beneficial.

    And Hughes pushed him off the bloody Eiffel Tower.

    We have standouts? Don’t think I’d be too fussed if anyone left tbh (so long as we replaced them)

    But he has kinda sucked for Celta, too (though he may have saved their ass this weekend).

    I don't think the issue is just that Pellegrino didn't like him, and he'll be fine now. He has to improve quite a bit, and Hasenhutl has to be willing and able to spend the time to do that, on TOP of dealing with mending any relationships with other team members and coaches.

    Keep at all costs;
    Gunn
    Redmond
    PEH
    Bednarek
    JWP
    Lemina

    Then a few (Ings, Romeu, Valery, Vestergaard, Yoshida) that are decent squad players.

    The rest of the squad I genuinely think we can find better. I’ve watched a fair few championship games this season and most of our squad are bottom half championship players aside from the above.

    So Watford sneak into 7th on 50pts, with 50 goals scored, and 50 conceded.
    I still think Everton will be the one's to get the early european adventure. (fingers crossed!)

    I think we have the nucleus of quite a good side if we can unload the fringe players and bring in a few gems?
    One things for sure, I'll be much more confident this close season with Ralph at the helm than with previous managers?

    We still haven't permanently replaced Jose, Adam and Rickie although Dusan and Pelle replaced the latter two for a while. We have replaced Morgan with Pierre though assuming he stays.

    Danny could be the Rickie replacement if he can overcome his fitness issues.

    I hope we look in the Championship for players as well as abroad. I know there is a cost element, but there are good players that we could tempt.

    Not sure how he managing to get so much out a first team he plans to dispense with in the off season. He’s motivated them and got them playing their hearts out.

    Yeah. Slightly tongue in cheek really, but stop those dropped points and we might get dizzy for a bit!
