    Reet bare with me...........

    There is two trains of thought here...

    1. MoN has done wonders, but it's Bruces squad and needs time to build his own..

    2.This squad is ok and just needs tweaking here and there...

    Two kind of different views, he either has to change it a fair bit or he doesn't...

    ...........................................................................

    Now it's a squad game, a squad of 25 which basically is two decent teams.............

    Now money dictating and MoN dealings....who is to remain in the first team of a 25 man squad/


    There will be changes, but we need a fuller squad, as injuries etc have cost us a lot over the seasons...

    Keep

    Mignolet
    Sessegnon
    McClean
    Colback
    Gyan

    Every1 else if a good offer comes in then it should certainly be considered

    This is not me saying sell our whole squad before someone says it

    but Gordon, Angeleri, Riveros, Bramble, Kyrgiakos, Elmohamady and Bendtner should be told there are not in our plans for next season.

    Gardner I think will go to a midlands club

    Meyler, Ji, Wickham to go out onloan

    I think Gardner wants out and so does Richardson. Both would be good squad players but would get first team games if they moved.

    Who the new players would be I'm not sure.

    Bring in:

    Attacking minded CM (Sigurdsson)
    LB (Not sure tbh)
    1 striker that will get the job done and 1 world class striker (Fletcher/Abonglohoar and a foreigner)
    2 wingers for depth (Junior Hoillet and Matt Phillips)

    Sell:

    Gardner
    Ji (Maybe loan)
    Wickham (Loan)
    Elmo
    Kieran (If he wants out and we get a good offer)
    Gyan


    I'd be happy starting with this team next year

    Gordon
    Bardo-O'Shea-Brown-New LB
    Seb-Catts-Sigurdsson-McClean
    Sess
    New Striker
