We will bring in a few loan players which will be closer to the end of the window. Besides I am less concerned as our starting eleven have stayed (if Gueye stays and Alcarez is the ready made replacement of Doucs).
Broja, Keane, Lindstrom must be certain to leave.
DCL won't accept a lower salary. Mangala to leave due to his injury, Coleman bound to be on a coaching role.
Moyes might fancy Harrison to stay.
Alcarez and Gueye surely David
My guess

Realistic I meant that players like Delap will have better teams (who may play in Europe) to choose from. Despite the lure of a new stadium and a bright future we still will struggle to attract such players. Ferguson might be more realistic
I would still think he is at his best as a left winger. N'Diaye on the right (not ideal though) and someone like Ferguson (not my first choice but we have to realistic) through the middle and that doesn't look a bad attack on paper
