So take away Bentley, Derbyshire, Hleb, Martins, Bowyer, Taylor, Carr, Ferguson, Phillips, Larsson and Dann and they still have 24 players? :shock:
I think its more than that out of contract, Im sure SSN said 9 players earlier?!
Add Johnson Dann and Foster who WILL all leave they really are in trouble. They could start the season with a whole new first 11, maybe only Zigic will stay but thats doubtfull as Im sure some Euro team will come in for him.
They'll probably end up with about £25m in fees from Johnson Dann Foster and Zigic. Hardly going to build them a new squad to come back up is it?
