Good post dog and difficult to disagree with any of those that you would let go. I like Cantwell and believe that he is the standard we need as a minimum, I would however sell any of the current squad that can generate us serious money since I believe that we need a total rebuild and I really don't want Lundstrum anywhere near the team. He doesn't drive us forward.
My problem is that from what I see I believe that we need to be bringing in as many as eight or ten players, most of them starters and we need to start developing our own players, something we haven't done for a number of years.
To do this I fear that we will need to find serious investment since I doubt that selling Butland and the others, (if we can get rid of them), will still leave us at least £20m short of what we need.
There are players available of Bosnans that could do a job for us but they won't come cheap if we can get them. We also need an old head that can lead the team that the young players can look up to, finding that person is equally problematic.

Berkshire, everyone knows we need a clear out big time. We won't make big money on any of them even if we do find takers.
Maybe 10 players in is a big ask to get quality, even 2mill per player that's 20mill b4 salary and sign on deals.
It's going to be painful, and that's if PC fancies the challenge?

Awesome, thanks Ed. I was wondering where my post had went. :)
{Ed033's Note - ok, thanks for the post.

We could still win this League and, if we do, then that puts an entirely different valuation on players. I agree though, players who do not appear to be trying or who are frightened, should go now. Walter always brought in plenty of new faces every year and that's the only way it works.
