John Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 A potential starting line-up at Burton for our first game: Steer, Hutton, Donacien, Baker, Kinsella, Lyden, Westwood, Gardner, Gabby, Robinson, Gestede. We could add the likes of Bentley (Southend £2m) and Clough (Bolton £2m) although that would cost money and we would not want to "throw money at it". Some players might be prepared to stick around until January to see how we go such as possibly Clark, Amavi, Gana, Veretout, Gil, Grealish and Ayew. We could then fill the gaps with loan signings from Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United, Spurs, Liverpool and West Ham (if they would like to give us Samuelsen) along with those players who might want to go but find themselves short of offers from other clubs.....

Dr_Pangloss Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 We need to spend around £20m, no excuses, we will have parachute payments. Without spending significant money for that division we will not get automatic promotion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance we'd see that line up. Donancien's level is league two, he will be released. I notice Kinsella went on loan to Kiddy today so if he can only be sent to a Conference club (who are about to be relegated) I doubt he's got much future here. You can still use the loan market and stuff to sign players. I have no idea what sort of team tbh, too early to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it is too soon to know with any certainty what sort of team we will have next August or possibly who will be released or have at least a short term future with us.

briny_ear Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 This thread is too depressing. I'm not going to think about these depressing issues until we are definitely relegated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 The team won't be that different from now. No bugger will want to buy many from this squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 This current squad would not get us out of the championship so I really don't mind if they all go apart from maybe Grealish for his potential, Hutton beause he tries at least, maybe Ayew and Gestede because he has scored goals at that level before.

I think we need to do what Wolves did, Jackett cleared out all the Premier League underachieves who got them relegated again and built a complete new squad. granted it will be difficult in one summer but we need to clear out the shit and negative mentalities like Westwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBM Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 interesting replies, thinking about it, i think alot of the foreign players will leave, even the ones wed like to think will stay, i read that both crespo and gil are unsettled so they're bound to leave, and other just think they're too good for us despite being the culprits that have got us relegated. i really hope we can keep hold of amavi, veretout, bacuna (we need a RB), and traore. hopefully is time for lads like gardner, donacien, mason, lyden, lyons-foster, kinsella, sellers and robinson to step up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted February 20, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 20, 2016 My choice is 100% new team. These guys have given a new meaning to the word LOSERS. I want none of them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Clark and Westwood are part of our losing culture, those two and Gabby and Guzan I'd all get shot of if possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted February 20, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 20, 2016 I'd like to see a young and hungry team of dogs, chasing everything down, giving 100% effort. Hollis may not feed them pedigree chum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I think we'll see a lot more new players than people are expecting. I think it's quite unrealistic that we'll be starting the first game of the season with only a couple of new players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see how you can create a new atmosphere that breads a winning mentality with to many from a squad that is so used to losing. As you say, a complete clear out will be difficult to achieve in one summer, but taking one step back in order to take a couple of steps forward would be a better long term solution then sticking with current personnel IMO.

I also think there will be a big turnover of personnel, the worrying part is the quality of the incomers. Teams in the Championship are now spending big bucks chashing the dream, I'm not sure we'll be in the same market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
