Just mentally going our current options for each position...

GK: Gunn/McCarthy...tick..Forster..cross
RB/RWB: Valery/ Ramsay (from what i've seen looks another excellent prospect)... tick
LB/LWB: Bertrand/Targett..tick
CB: Bednarek/Yoshida...tick Vestergaard (still looks slow for this level), Stephens (his last start was a worry).. cross..Alfie Jones might come into the picture next season.
CDM: Romeu/PEH...tick, Lemina (still not convinced of his commitment).. cross...Maybe Jack could be tried out in this position or Harry Reed is given a chance.
CM/AM: PEH/JWP/ Slattery/Armstrong/Redmond/Sims... tick Lemina (as above) Mo El... cross...I think that Boufal and Hesketh might come back into the fold next season.
ST: Ings/Long/Obafemi... tick, Austin...cross...The jury is still out on Gallagher for me, i'll trust Ralph on that call.

So that's 18 ticks and 5 possibles for next season.

Good summary, I'd have to agree with most of that, just havent seen the youngsters enough.
 
For the players you have listed? How do you move players on who are big contracts and do not want to be sliding down the leagues. That is a conundrum. Lemina Will go rather cheaply, maybe to a lower La Liga side. Carillo and Boufal likewise. You will be lucky to get a combined 5 million for that trio as La Liga sides will buy on their terms, or maybe do another cheap loan.

Yep, quite the connundrum. Give them away if you have to but they are an anchor around our neck and some of them just need to be shifted. I don't know the answer to how unfortunately. Make them as miserable as they have made the fans? They would move on then I bet.
 
Unless we have some money coming from the owner, we have to sell to buy. Only if we sell someone we actually want to keep, will we earn enough to buy two players. I’m expecting very few in this summer if we only sell the chaff. I’m hoping we can get Boufal back and working. If we only have money for one I’d go for a striker. We already know Ings isn’t likely to last the season.
