    Couldn't agree more. Worth everybody remembering there's a young man who sounded pretty ill two years ago...

    I expect both, and Connell to go.

    I also believe a lot of people underestimate these lads’ talent. It’ll be some magic trick trying to build a new midfield. Your strongest area. All whilst having a porous defence and very little up front. With a new keeper too.

    Was always going to be an interesting summer.

    It'll be interesting to see if he moves Phillips higher up and wider, but with a remit to float about as he tends to find these positions anyway. As much as I have been probably overly critical of Adam Phillips, he offers more than Connell and would rather see the latter as opposed to the former go if I had to choose

    Agreed.

    We can't afford to lose both as that's a lot of goals from midfield to lose in one window.

    Russell most likely to go given contract situation I would have thought.

    How much higher & wider can Phillips go? He’s just spent a season on the right where he’s not suited. He needs to be back in a midfield 3 making runs from deep.

    They aren’t playing the same role though. So you’d ideally retain both. One’s there to hold midfield, get a foot on it and dictate. The other’s there to score and create, further up the pitch.

    I’d be beyond amazed if Phillips is here post-window. And by the looks of it, Connell’s got admirers too. As for Russell, he’ll be at the side of a beach asking his agent if there’s anything better out there.

    Leaving a trio of Bland, Nwakali and Yoganathan.

    So if Luca goes and we have Russell and Phillips in midfield, great if we have got the ball but who’s going to win it/break up play if we haven’t ?
