I make that 40 players
There are only 20 players I'd keep out of that lot.( 2 of whom we don't own.)
That 20 includes Baines ,Holgate and Walcott who would not bother me if they are sold/released and replacements brought in.
Goes to show you the mess Brands has to sort out
So we have 15 players I'd want to keep.
 
...sorry, Nymz, I did say i’m not against it for Academy players. Saying that, I thought we had a great opportunity to see Dowell here rather than Forest, but this is now his 2nd loan and he’s only there because he failed to impress Silva when given his chance. Pennington and Connolly are similar, they are on loan again because they failed to impress and were surplus to requirements.

I was trying to think of players we’ve sent on loan who go on to be regular first teamers for us. I might be wrong, but I can’t think of lots. Osman and Barkley perhaps. DCL and Davies didn’t go on loan because the Manager thought he could use them.
Coleman was at blackpool on loan
 
Forgot Baningime. He can be sold too. Looked like he might have it but he's not even playing at Wigan is he? Can't see him suddenly being good enough to play here.

Forgot Besic too. We have oh so many players.

Id be amazed if more than a handful of these 25 players were still here at the end of summer.
 
Of the players returning from loan I reckon only Vlasic, Dowell, Onyekuru, Holgate and Baningime have a non-zero chance of playing for us again.

Browning has gone.

....I imagine all of those are surplus to requirements if offers come in.

The only loanee that Silva has openly said he wants part of pre-season training is Joe Williams.
 

I think Cuco is a right-back - just BFS played in at LB. Callum Connolly is as odd one. Probably the fact he can play so many positions counts against him, but useful to have in the squad in an 'Alan Harper' kind of way!
