I don't know where all this talk of deadwood comes from. The deadwood was Hoedt, Lemina, Vesty, Cedric, Gunn, Carillo & Boufal who all departed last summer. We don't have any deadwood now. We have a few who are increasing their distance from the first team and may decide to seek their fortunes elsewhere but most want to be a here and fight for a place.
We have 3 keepers leaving (Forster, Lewis and Beach) and have replaced (Caballero, Lis and Bazunu). AMK is a likely replacement for Bedders.
Perfect balance so far.
