I just spent AGES on the other thread drawing out a detailed list of in's and out's for the summer,complete with justification for each move and theory as to spending, squad size, quality etc.
When I entered my message, I found the topic had been LOCKEd whilst I was writing it. Which was VERY annoying!!
I'm not going to do that again but the conclusion was I think about 6 players will leave and about 8 come in, leaving us with a 27 man squad of depth and quality all over the park.
I predicted that the net spend would be around £45-50million which sounds like a hell of a lot but would give us a GREAT shout of qualifying for the Champions League next season, and would be better than spending a similar amount over a longer period of time because the benefits would obviously come quicker.
I am still salivating at the squad I drew up and devastated that my detailed project was lost.
