Romeu is a suprise, Beef...I think that he has showed his best form of a couple of years ago since Ralph took over.
I don't he fits what Ralph wants in the team sadly. He may be kept as back up but can see him being moved on.
 
Players I think will go

Forster

Cedric
Hoedt
Stephens
Yosh or Vestergaard
McQueen

Clasie
Romeu
Davis (obviously)
Reed

Maybe Boufal
Elynoussi
Austin
Maybe Long
Gallagher
Carillo
Wow, even a conservative estimate that lot would bring in circa £75m in fees and save circa £30m in wages.
That’s a lot of room to bring in new players

The true cost of our poor recruitment will be that the only way we can shift most of these players is to let them go for peanuts. Hope the club are prepared to make big losses on players that we spent decent amounts to bring in.

You don't make money on all players anyway....or get your money back. I think we have to bite the bullet on some players...it's not money out of my pocket.
 
Two predictions.
1) We won't get rid of all the players we want to.
2) We won't sign all the players we want.
Not exactly hard to predict really? But Ralph wants a total clear out. So in the end it will happen, even if it takes 2 seasons instead of one

But we didn't let them go for peanuts last transfer window. Or the transfer window before that. So it would have to take a shift in our strategy to change that (not to mention clubs willing to sign them, even if only for peanuts).

I'd love it if this summer we can get rid. But until I see it, I'll continue to remain sceptical. Currently my expectation is just more loans.

I think a lot of people are going to be left very disappointed with just how much we manage to bring in by way of player sales.

Hasenhuttl did a presentation of the players he would like to keepx review or sell. Yosh and vestergaard were on the keep list along with Romeu. Lemina was on the list to move on - apparently he trains poorly/undertrains.

Yeah. I expect that we'd be able to permanently shift McCarthy, Stephens, Romeu (if he's going) and Austin. Probably Clasie too, for the simple reason that he has an incentive to parlay a good season at Feyenoord into a longer-term deal, even if at a lower dollar figure. Gallagher's a maybe, but given his lack of time I'd think he's more likely a loanee. Hoedt, Elyounoussi and Carrillo? Think they'll be out on loan. Their markets are too small, and their wages too high.

So, we're talking maybe £30m in sales there. Unless we're shipping out a Hojberg, we're not going to have a transformative budget to work with.

You are going to be surprised. It isn't about getting the max cash. Ralph and the board want the players gone and wages off the books

Someone has to pay their wages though.
