I dont see why anyone has to go. We have been working within budget and those that are being released will create some wage leeway.

We'll be selling whoever we get decent bids for if the board have learned their lessons. Keeping hold of players who have re-sale value is exactly why we were in danger of breaching FFP for the last couple of years. IF Eze gets sold then it would give us some leeway

I dont thint the Eze scenario is an IF, its more a who and how much.

dont forget the tv monies going up to 75 pounds a year

I think when it comes down to Olise or Eze it will be either/or rather than both. With rumours they would rather sell defender Guehi than either of them.
So no guarantees of an Eze sale at all (though if I was him I’d jump at the opportunity to be in a champions league club over staying at Palace).
 
I probably think this every year but expect the teams coming down won’t be as strong as those going up especially if massive massive Leeds go up. Inevitably Burnley will get 98 points and I’ll be proved wrong but I don’t think Sheff U will be that great and Luton will lose some of the better players.

I would be delighted if Cifuentes signed a contract extension, even if I still can't quite yet fully join in the Marti love-in (some truly dire performances need to fade from the memory before I could do that). He's plainly done an excellent job in keeping us in the division and I think what I find most exciting for next season is the collective spirit that there seems to be in the squad now, for which he deserves credit - probably along with some of the senior players (I imagine Cook would be very influential here). He and his coaches have made us far better defensively and we now score from corners whilst not constantly conceding from them, plus the Jimmy Dunne to right back move has proved a masterstroke. All this without a natural goal scorer at centre-forward, so overall it's an 8 out of 10 from me.

Not sure he could have done much more tbh.
 
If we don't sell Jcs, where do you think funds for the required players is going to come from?
I literally said we've missed the 'sell' window too many times and can't be too choosy if the right bid comes in. Merely from a playing point of view it would be a shame to lose JCS.

He’s exactly the sort of player you should sell. Nearly 27, injury-prone with the exception of most of this season and coming off the back of good form with two years on his contract. Obviously someone has to make a reasonable bid but it would just be repeating the old mistakes to keep him in some mad promotion gamble.
 
Our form from 19 games mid January had us in 4th place to the end of the season. It's not over-optimistic to think with a proper striker and one or two additions we'd have a good chance of making the play-offs. Our biggest fear is Marti being targeted by bigger clubs, he's apparently on Hull's shortlist. It's nice to be thinking positively after the last 18 months...
4th? I didn't realise it was as high as that, thought it was upper mid-table ish. I can't see Marti leaving us yet but maybe only promotion would mean we keep him beyond next season. I feel like the massive overhaul of the squad is going to make us a bit of an unknown quantity. With 10(?) Players out of contract, two loanees and potential sales we're going to look a fair bit different next season.

We’ll be demanding Warnock when we’re on four points from the first six games.

This is last 15 games, we're better than we think we are...

You're a very harsh judge :emoticon-0102-bigsm

That all makes sense, but it would be nice to show some ambition at some point.
