It's been pretty quiet with rumours about people going out.

I'd guess:

Bidwell
Brau
Woolf
Andrews (Loan)
Batanwi (Loan)
Raphael

It's hard to guess with the others until we see more incomings.

We will need a striker, keeper, centre mid so that would see more movement.
 
I think there will be a lot more than this. I suspect Lati, Simms, Eccles and possibly even Torp.
 
Hearing next to nothing about outgoings tells me our signings aren't dependent on shifting players out. Feels like we'll bring in the bulk - if not all - of what we need before actively shifting who's no longer part of our plans. Glad it's that way round.

I would think we'll try...
Permanent:
Brau
Bidwell
Woolfenden
Latibeaudiere
Eccles
Rafael
Simms
Bassette
(Maybe BTA)

Loan:
Dovin
possibly Markelo
some of the kids

Some of the top bunch could move to 'loan' if we don't shift them permanently
 
I wouldn’t be shopping any of them around, a lot of them will be in high demand and should fetch a decent fee
 
We won’t off load players until we have landed our targets. I don’t think it will be as many as some are predicting.

Harsh.
 
I don't think 8 leaving permanently is harsh at all, especially as some of the ones mentioned were barely even involved. It still leaves us with a lot of the squad who got us promoted, but you have to assume we're brining at least 8 in through the door.
 
Have the feeling one of our strikers may end up at Wrexham.

Yeah, I think any who were on the outskirts of the team last season are likely to go (Brau, Bassette, Raphael and Bidwell come to mind), but the rest (Eccles, BTA, Simms, Latibeaudiere) will be kept around unless we're able to upgrade.
 
I think if we are honest and looked at last seasons top 6 championship clubs we would possibly pick 2 or 3 players from each team who you could see having a chance of making it at premier league level and in a lot of cases a pretty small chance. And yet we have 25 that can all make it according to some or should be given a chance? Half the squad has zero chance of being good enough. And then another 5 or 6 are doubtful. But we also have to be realistic that we wont change 15 players even if we wanted to. But I hope we can offload 8 players minimum. Woolf, Lati, Bidwell, Eccles, Brau, Rapha, Bassette, One of Simms or Wright. But players need to come in first to encourage players out.

Exactly - we’re now on the other end of the spectrum. Were the team that other teams are waiting for before their targets are available
 
I think we’ll see Woolfenden, Bidwell, Brau, Andrews snd Bassette leaving netting us around £5m

Kai Andrew’s is still only 19 and I think we can still try and develop him. I think Brau will go out on loan.
 
Each or altogether? Bassette and Woolfenden alone would net that. Andrews is a Welsh international, and they could easily pick up 500k for Bidwell and Brau


What gives you that idea? None of them are actively being linked anywhere, and none of them have torn up any trees.

We will take a hit on Bassette and Woolf id be almost certain

Don’t doubt we’d take a little hit on Bassette, but Woofenden has that weird credit that teams give to multiple promotions. Teams are paying more money in the championship than ever.

For me there are a few players that I have no doubt will struggle in the premier league

Wilson
Woolf
Lati
Brau
Bidwell
Raphael
Bassette


Gotta be loaning Andrews

They need to be moved on before the end of the window, even for minimal fees, get the wages available

Feeling they may want to keep Lati - for his input squad wise/off field…..however he may want game time so may want move.

Wolf stock high, x2 promotions and PL experience, think in right squad he’s an asset. Especially if they play 3 at back - 2 doesn’t suit him. Perfect for a Boro?

Others agree, saw yesterday Rapha and Bassette miles off……NB has regressed so much from those initial appearances when there was deffo promise. His highlight was getting aggy with linesman yesterday, says it all.

Wilson will be 3rd choice, slightly concerning dovin not involved again - suspect picked up niggle after starting full training.

I think only 1 of Lati, Woolfenden or Kitching will go. Probably Woolfenden. Even if we sign 1 more I’d like 5 centre backs. Especially as I can see us playing a back 5 at times next year.
 
Although much improved JDS will struggle in the PL. His touch is one of the best in the squad but he's caught out the same way over and over again with the ball over the top pulling Grimes or Kitching out of position to cover. He's also very unproductive with his crossing and lack of assists. Up a level this is unlikely to improve. I don't think he'll go but we need a starting LB.

Woolf will possibly only go if we get another CB and he does have some experience there. Otherwise I don't see many leaving beyond the Nick's list.

It was Onyeka that had a tiff with the Lino, wasn’t it?

Onyeka was held back by several teammates while Bassette confronted the lino. But from the clip I've seen he didn't lose his head.
