    None. We need to sell DKD to generate some money to use wisely on 11 players. Possibly Connell but I would take the armband off him which weighs him down, and the young lads Jalo and Bland.

    we need a total clear out from top to bottom. We have some talented footballers but a total reset is required.

    DKD cos at this level he's good
    Jalo because he has potential
    Connell cos he tries.

    However wouldn't surprise me if the board, known for intelligence and sound management, sold all three to get a quick fix on the finances therefore turning a kak squad into an incredibly kak bunch of non-trying, talentless, uncourageous living-pinchers.

    Sadly with Sormaz overseeing recruitment it won't be a total reset.

    I'd swap Humphrys for Connell and/or Phillips. Probably Connell because he's been absolutely shìte for the past 2 seasons. Phillips at least contributes a goal here and there.

    I wouldn't retain a single defender that's played more than 10 games this season.

    Agree with the list. Probably add Humphrys if he’s going to play left wing next season. Roberts has been the best of a very bad bunch in defence but he’s been a part of it.

    Out of today's squad I'd move on at least 9 of them this summer
    Cotter
    Russell
    Roberts
    De Gveigney
    Lambisika
    Mccarthy
    Rodriguez
    Watters
    Nwakali
    In Roberts case he would only stay just for his experience if some one with pace played either side of him
    You can add Pines and Benson and O'keeffe to that list too

    None they could all go for me DKD deserves better and the only one we could get any reasonable money for..
    None of the five keepers used are worthy of being number 1 come August
    MDG should put out to pasture somewhere in France.. Robbo should be at best a bit part player next time.. Not ecstatic about Lopata and Sherperds return neither.. Think we'd need better than both those to challenge anywhere near the top. If we're playing a back four now, then two proper fullbacks needed..
    Our midfield as someone as already said, while having individual talents, as a unit they are woeful.. defending as individuals and all together is nonexistent..
    And not one person at the club you could call an out n out striker.
    So..
    A decent keeper.
    Two full backs
    Two center halfs
    A new mid field and forward line.
    And if he wants to play with wingers.. A couple of them.

    To those who think I'm too pessimistic.. look no further than the last few games. We are a million miles off.

    So I feel Conor will have two much to do this summer because an entire new team is needed to seriously challenge next season. Plus no one trusts Mladen to get anywhere near fixing this

    Selling DKD would be suicide

    You'd get rid of our best goal scoring midfielder in Russell? Why?
