Begovic - Likely hell get another year extension?
Lonergan - Meh.
Mina - confirmed leaving, which is sad but wages dont justify the minutes, or lack of.
Coleman - probably getting a year extension if his injury isnt finishing him off?
Vinagre - most pointless loan signing made ever, leaving.
Coady - Nobody really knows if he'll be bought at the moment.
Branthwaite - takes Mina's spot in the squad
Nkounkou - Apparently st etiennce are triggering the release so they can sell for profit.
Townsend - contract finished, played his last game for us and possibly his last in football.
Davies - would have signed an extension by now if it was happening, believe he is off.
Warrington - takes Davies's spot in the squad.

21 players remaining there, thats with question marks of Onana's, Holgate's, Keane's, Maupay's future. That would take us down to 17 if all four left. As shown this season, desperate reinforcements needed. Also not sure Simms will have much of a future. The following issues (from a numbers perspective).
GK - 2 - Would need a third, ideally Begovic becomes that third one and we get a goalkeeper to challenge JP or be ready to take over.
RB - 1 - two if Coleman extends, however big issue with injury proneness here.
CB - 5 - If Holgate/Keane leave we'd have to look to replace with at least one.
LB - 1 - Desperately need an upgrade on left back.
MC - 4 - including Doucoure, personally think we'd need to upgrade here though with some extra technical quality.
Wingers/Widemen - 3 - 3 to cover to positions, would need at least one wide attacker, need more pace and more consistency.
ST - 3 - Would expect this to go to at least 2 with Maupay gone, so would need to recruit 2 strikers personally, if DCL can stay somewhat fit and get 20-25 games next season, that way we would have options and not rely on a winger up top!,
