    With "unknown" fee's being offered for players we are all getting embroiled in transfer chaos .................. so HANG ON, HANG ON... WE NEED TO BUILD A SQUAD......lets not get carried away we are odds on to to get down into Div 1!

    We currently have a squad of 26 so if we had a first team and a reserve team that would be 22 players so we could get rid of 4 and spread the wage saved amongst the restby way of a achievment BONUS. With the academy progressing etc we could top up from here if too many injuries etc and these players would be on much lesser wages.

    outside of the top 10 premier league clubs every team has about 6 or 8 really really good players and thats what we should build on say 8 players ....they need to be around for the next 3-4 years as they are the core

    My list would be..

    Adomah
    Kelly,
    Cunningham,
    Anderson,
    (Kilkenny)
    Baldock
    Davis
    Taylor......IN no PARTICULAR ORDER and would all be on the best money on 4 year contracts

    Players good for the next 18 month's ( to the next 2 and a half seasons plus / minuss)

    Stead
    Foster
    (Pearson)
    Nyatanga
    Elliot
    Skuse
    Wison J
    Reid
    Edwards
    Burns

    ........each week this where our team should come from....( ) brackets cant make up my mind

    Carey, Fontaine etc will get chances as they can be part of the subs regime...I think SOD has seen enough with what he has that he will stick till the season end

    Heaton, Foster, Carey, Fontaine, Cunningham, Kelly, Skuse, Kilkenny (Burns 72), Pearson (Davies 78), Anderson (Stead 65), Taylor

    Subs not used: Gerken, Nyatanga, Wilson, Elliott Has Baldock and Adomah to add to this line up and that is 2 very strong additions

    If we were to get relegated the only players I would keep


    Heaton

    Anderson
    Kelly
    Skuse
    Elliott
    Davies
    Baldock
    Taylor
    Reid

    And Liam Fontaine is not good enough for either list? Not that I think he is particularly brilliant but he keeps getting picked ahead of Nyatanga
