Fair one, but I think with a new manager and some good players we'll be in the mix. We have a good core at the moment, we just need bodies.

For some reason i think we may actually win the league this time,he is very serious about what he wants to do he has done so much work coming into the club more than i thought might be done in his quest to succeed.

I think the 16/1 for us to win the league is a piss take,so i will do Arsenal at 14/1 with us in a double then maybe a few other prem teams like chelsea and man city along with us.

Think this season at that price we could all earn if he succeeds.

There's a chance they could all go, but until they do they're ours and form the core of the squad, which is what you asked. You can't really work in hypotheticals here because it renders the whole thing moot. Even if all the players I mentioned were gone by July 3rd, do you honestly think we wouldn't replace them before training gets underway? Last season was undermined by poor recruitment, but MS outlined this before he left and with it being a driving force in our relegation I can't see it happening again.

Relying on loanees in January was a massive risk for this very reason. The risk didn't work. I think you do realise how important a core is, and we aren't going to have one. In a tough Championship next season, we have no chance of promotion. I am hoping we can sustain ourselves mid table/ ok poss play offs and allow some kids to come through/ some new signings to become the future 'core'

I am not overly worried about our squad yet........
We have a few more going to go yeah probably Robertson, Grosiski, Huddlestone possibly Jakupovic we will see..... maybe others....
A few injuries, (is meyler out until xmas i didnt realise that??) Mason and Moses.....
We still have 2 decent keepers at this level, Dawson, chuck in Clucas Hendrickson Elmo Evandro Hernandez Diamande theres still Will Keane, James Weir and chuck in youngsters like Bowen, Clackstone, Olley, Luer, Mannion its not too bad.

Wait to see what happens come the end off the transfer window it sounds like it will be very different this time around.....

You're clutching at straws. Do you honestly believe this is a promotion squad? 'Diamande theres still Will Keane, James Weir and chuck in youngsters like Bowen, Clackstone, Olley, Luer, Mannion its not too bad.'

No I didn't say it's a promotion squad I was saying I am not worried about it yet. It's mid June not the end of August and we have some players that we can add to to come up with something half decent

I have only once had the opportunity to see us play at the KC during Silva's reign, unfortunately for me it was last week against Sunderland. I have attended away matches at Chelsea, Fulham, Arsenal and Leicester. On the evidence of my own eyes, then, I have little faith in Silva. Today we were shocking. Nobody was any good. We were ****. And yet I'm surrounded by fellow supporters chanting Marco Silva's name, begging him not to leave. The first goal was as the result of a stupid mistake by a nervous player, the second was another woeful example of Silva's insistence on playing zonal marking, the third was a clear penalty given away by possibly the worst player on the pitch whose inclusion meant Harry was nullified at right back, I wasn't paying attention when the fourth went in. Elmo has been awful all season yet he kept his place, N'Diaye should have been hooked off for Huddlestone, he was so terrible. Grosicki tried but there was too much hesitation and he rarely got the ball back after passing and running on. Niasse tried hard to no effect. Clucas looked out of his depth. I doubt his pass completion was much over 50%. I'm sure there were some other players involved but I can't remember who they were now. And yet, 'Marco Silva, we want you to stay!' is ringing out after being thrashed by a mediocre team and not having a shot on target all game, and now we are relegated. We did have a run of games in which we did well, but when it came to the games that mattered we folded. That has to be at least partly the responsibility of Silva. The idea that other Premier league clubs will be interested in him is totally ****ing laughable.

May be Bobby has a point. We shall see with Watford now.
 
Minimum must be 10 players. Any number less than that means they only have part of a leg, or a fraction of a brain, or some other impediment.
