Currently numbers 38 without Hartman or Tchaouna
OK - still poss outgoings like Trafford and Brownhill plus Obafemi and Barnes - the rest are still contracted till minimum 2026 and many beyond
But, still possibly requiring additions at striker, centre mid and centre back
Would have thought a fair few get a wage rise for promotion
Pep thinks he has a problem.

Plenty of dead wood to get rid of.

We do need to trim the squad, but calling them deadwood.....

You'd think Delcroix, Obafemi, Sambo, Benson, Houtondji and Churlinov will leave.
Maybe Ekdal and Dodgson too.
Probably forgetting a load too!

Benson, Ekdal and Dodgson still have 2 years remaining
Add to them Massengo, Agyei, and Green
Sambo and Houtondji still have 3 years remaining
All probably on the highest wages they have ever had, so they are not going to be too keen to leave this summer

I'd completely forgotten about the likes of Agyei and Sambo. Luckily the likes of Benson, Ekdal and Massengo will have plenty of interest.

Obviously just a guess but I'd be suprised to see the following play for us this season. Mostly covered in separate lists above but what the heck.
Benson
Agyei
Ekdal
Delcroix
Massengo
Obafemi
Ekdal
Houtondji
Sambo
Churlinov
Dodgson
Maybe list:
Tresor
Beyer or Worall?
Amdouni
Sonne
Barnes
Trafford
Obviously a few on the second list that might go on loan and/or I'd prefer to keep. 18 players on there, We won't lose all of them but most didn't kick a ball for us last season and very unlikely to this. Busy summer!

It is a very bloated squad now all those loanees are back, but many will leave again, along with a few others too.

Yes. Even if we can't offload the fringe players permanently, I'm sure quite a few will go out on loan.
