Thought I'd start a thread to see the potential and realistic squad for our first game next season. Haven't kept up to date with all the rumours so may miss one or two potential targets. Forster obviously out until October-ish, but I'd like the look of that front three. Heaton; Clyne, Fonte, Alderweireld, Bertrand; Clasie, Wanyama, Vilhena; Jay Rod, Austin, Mane. Bench: K Davis, Gardos, Yoshida, S Davis, Ward Prowse, Tadic, Pelle, Could probably use a few extra squad players for the bench, but I'm unsure as to who is a strong link or not.
I'll take your word for it as i have no idea, all i know is last time i looked he was struggling to break into Fyenords first 11.
Nah it's good (remembering where we came from!). I suppose we're aiming for Europa qualification; that's when we might make some progress on last few seasons.
GK anyone's guess. Clyne Fonte Alderwiereld Bertrand Clasie Wanyama Rodriguez Mane Tadic Pelle Gazza, Yoshida, Targett, JWP, Vilhena, Long, Austin

Regardless of what happens, the renewed optimism for Clyne/Jay/Toby to be staying, along with our performance off the pitch last summer has me SO ready for the end of the summer and opening day. It's going to be marvellous. Can't wait to see what happens.
A front four of Jay, Mane, Tadic and Pelle/Austin has me drooling. Imagine the assist king feeding Jay, Mane and possibly Austin, there will be buckets of goals.
The summer transfer window is actually my favourite time of the season, the football bit the rest of the year is just a side attraction.
