what do you think will happen? Quite clear we need to free up some money and reduce the size of the squad whether we go down or not.For me
Muric - Keep at all costs
Vigoroux - Number 2
Trafford - Loan
Assignon - I'd keep him but thought I saw it was a loan? I'm sure he won't want to stay.
Vitinho - Keep
O'Shea, Esteve, Beyer, Ekdal - Easy Keeps
Taylor - Keep
Delcroix, El Dakhil - Sell
Cullen - Keep
Berge - Keep although I can't see someone not wanting him and for the right price he'll go.
Massengo - Keep
Ramsey I would sell but he was a decent player for Boro at that level so will likely stay.
Brownhill, JBG, Cork - All expiring soon so sell/release.
Odobert, Koleosho, Foster, Benson, keep and look to sign JBL. In reality I'd say someone is going to take a punt on Foster and Odobert at the very least.
Sell Amdouni
Sell Tresor, assuming we haven't triggered his release. God help us if we have
Sell Redmond
Release J-Rod.
Of those on loan - BPF, Roberts, Egan Riley, McNally, Dodgson, Bastien, Twine, Churlinov, Costelloe, Zaroury, Obafemi, Weghorst - I'd only really be bothered about seeing Zaroury again and perhaps keeping young Dodgson.
Our first team squad for next season would look like this
Muric
Vigoroux
New 3rd GK
Assignon
Vitinho
Taylor
New LB
Dodgson
Esteve
O'Shea
Beyer
Ekdal
Berge
Cullen
Massengo
New 4th CM
Odobert
Koleosho
JBL
Benson
Zaroury
Ramsey
Foster
New Striker
That's my ideal world. Appreciate some of our leading lights may disappear from that squad but I'd be quite happy if we could start the season not far off that.
