Besic
Sandro
Walcott
Bolasie
Tosun
Get them 5 out and its huge savings on wages with absolutely no impact to the first team 11. Centre back is the obvious hole to fill. If the right player becomes available who can play across the front 3, those outs might also make that an option.
I think you have to add Davies, Delph, Kean and Kenny to that list as potential outgoings, so it reads like this:
Besic - He will go, on the cheap, probably to a championship club.
Sandro - He will go, on the cheap, to a Spanish club.
Bolasie - He will go somewhere, on the cheap, to the championship or abroad.
Davies - Could go, but it is likely to be a loan that won’t bring in a lot of money.
Kean - Could go, again it will only be a loan, but could save us significant wages that could perhaps be used elsewhere.
Tosun - Won’t go. Still injured. Not enough interest in him.
Walcott - Won’t go. Too expensive for most clubs that would be interested and he will be happy to leave on a free next summer.
Delph - Won’t go. He’s an expensive pain in the arse, and I don’t think many clubs will be interested in him.
Kenny - Won’t go. It looks like he will be back up for Coleman this season.
So we have a fair bit of excess fat that still needs trimming to make us leaner and more efficient. We will get rid of some of them and be lumbered with the others.
It should leave us with enough room to bring in at least one more CB and maybe an attacker for the right wing or upfront, imo.
