Squad then... by bluearmy4838 1 Jul 2024 9:57
Walton, Slicker
Johnson, Clarke
Davis
Tuanzebe, Woolfenden, Burgess, Edmundson
Morsy, Taylor, Luongo
Burns, Chaplin, Broadhead, Hutchinson
Hirst, Al-Hamadi

In: GK, LB, CB, CM, 10, 9. As a bare minimum. Possible 2x in a couple of those positions.

Offski: El-Miz, Ladapo, Humphreys, Ahadme, Ndaba, Harness(?).

Shaping up quite nicely IMO especially in terms of the departures, we're not really left with any dead wood and the contract situations seem to have been managed really well. Lot of headroom to add plenty of quality, but clearly that's the hard work left to do to bring in 6-9 more I would think, as well as Johnson.
