Apart from the obvious (Doherty, Alonso and Euell) Can't really seem many heading out. Do worry slightly for Hayes. Would like to see him stay personally but gonna be hard keeping 5 forwards happy. Jury's still out on Ruben Bover. Not convinced he can cope with the physical aspect of the english game.
I'd be more concerned with who we're bringing in to be honest. Very happy with what we have and feel they'll cope just fine in the Championship, just need to add some depth (mainly RB & LM).
Alonso,Doherty,Hughes,Euell,Hayes,Sullivan,Waggy and Clarke will go and im sure there will be interest in both Wiggins and Solly but I think we will be able to keep hold of them both.
Forgot about Hughes. Not sure about Sullivan, all depends on whether or not he's happy playing second fiddle again next season. Would be happy to see him stay as we won't get much better as a bench warmer.
Waggy frustrates me as there's a player in there but don't think he's emerged yet.
Covered end junior has a list of eight out which I think is pretty spot on. On that basis I would expect that many in as it seems we like to run a big squad.
Wiggins is the only one I think we will struggle to hold on to.
Great player for us but is he really premier class ? I've no doubt that in a couple of years that he will be but right now I can only see Championship clubs seriously chasing him ( & Solly) so they both may as well stay where they are.

A big club would be happy to take him before he is completely ready though. I think this season has been enough to prove he has what it takes and he will have been watched by a lot of higher teams. Solly has a bit more loyalty to us as he came through the academy so i would be more confident of keeping him.
It's keeping hold of Wiggins & Solly that concerns me, as I'd expect there to be interest in both of them. Both excellent young players, potential full internationals, with plenty of years ahead of them. Fingers crossed we can stave of any interest.
No way will we sign Rhodes , he will go for 3-4 mill , we won't pay that sort of dough.
Don't think we'll go for Danny Ward either as Huddersfield paid £1m for him. The mysterons want to buy cheap and sell high and Ward will cost too much for their business plan.
On the players going out, I think around 6 of the players already mentioned are pretty much nailed on with maybe Sullivan & Alonso staying. As for new players, like last season I haven't a clue but I'm sure if this season is anything to go by
A) I wouldn't have heard of some of them
they will be better than I would of hoped
also.........how many of our celebrtaed youth team will get a look in ? Solly has shown that if you are good enough then you should be given a chance, and I would like to see both Poyet & Cousins given a go at the end of this season.
Probably what Covered End Junior said. The club have a long term plan and I can't see anyone going who we don't want to go unless there are extraordinary reasons for it and it's for the benefit of the club. I think we have a lot to offer nowadays. ONE AIM.
We've got a great League 1 team - how many of those players can step up to the Championship? I'd like to see the current team given a chance to show what they can do, but is that too much of a gamble.

I'm glad I don't have to make these decisions!
I agree, for example we have a brilliant L1 defence, but I have no idea how successful it will be up a division, and facing far more potent attacks. Indeed, as we have a young team, relatively few of our team have played many games at a higher level. I'm sure most will be able to step up, but it's not guaranteed.
Danny Haynes is the perfect example of players we will try and bring in between now and the start of next season. Last summer it was players who were used to league 1 level but were under-valued (i.e not hyped stars) for whatever reason. We will do the same again and buy 3 - 4 players with at least a couple of years championship experience.
