I think it's hard to find the right balance between making the necessary improvements we need and not ripping things up too much or discarding useful players who've got us here. Some very tough calls to be made.
And it starts, we'll be linked to every waif and stray in Europe and beyond all summer, just hope our recruitment team can sort the wheat from the chaff.
They did, but having no money does tend to focus the mind. Different scenario now.They did ok last summer
To be fair, they're just working through the list Chazz put together. He doesn't watch all those games for nothing.
I’d keep Joseph, he’s not going to start but if we are seeing out a game or chasing a goal his energy and pressing might be vital
Earned his crack at the Prem and some of those prima Donna’s will probably not be used to the pressing they will get off him and they could make mistakes.
Hopefully the promotion won’t make it too hard to get rid of Palmer and Burstow (assuming both of their wages will automatically go up).
Same with Omur.
Loan players – I’d only sign Joffrey and providing Leeds don’t now try and take the piss with the fee/ maybe Amir but depends on calibre and cost of other targets.
Renew Slater’s deal and ensure he has a chance to grow into a PL midfielder
I think some of the current squad might surprise in PL and do ok. Likes of KJ,, Egan, McNair might be good squad players. For all the hate he got, Alex Bruce – maligned in the Championship – did ok for us. We need to cull but we don’t need to savage.
Important we try to keep this chemistry that undoubtedly has elevated a squad beyond. Interesting, and encouraging, that is what Tuchel seems to seeking too for the World Cup.

The first paragraph is salient here for me.
It wouldn't surprise me if a lot of the players out on loan this season now have doubled their wages with promotion, meaning we've no chance of shifting them on permanents.
If Palmer has doubled from £15k to £30k p/w, he'll be out on loan again with a team paying part of his wages.
I'd guess we'll have double figure players out on loan next season (that's not including youth lads).
I highly doubt he’ll go anywhere. Keeping the core group together will be very important and also his running and battling will be an asset when we’re under the cosh, possibly even more so than it’s been this season. He’s obviously not going to be one of our main players in our strongest 11 but he will play a part and prove his usefulness.
I don't know if I'd say "great" option, and if selling him raises funds for more PL ready players that we either keep when we go down or cash in on..
