Saint Garrett

The league has been dreadful this season, just look at Everton, Leicester, and Palace who have been largely crap all year. There's so much dross in the league (including us this year!)

Sounds like Bertrand is going to miss out, would be a shame given he's been in every squad for about the last 4 years... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-5730847/Danny-Rose-set-selected-England-squad-2018-World-Cup.html

Potentially half the league...! Arsenal - New Manager Bournemouth Brighton & Hove Albion Burnley - Could Dyche be tempted away? Cardiff City Chelsea - Likely New Manager Crystal Palace Everton - New Manager Huddersfield Town Leicester City - Possibly New Manager Liverpool Manchester City Manchester United Newcastle United - Possibly New Manager Southampton - Possibly New Manager Tottenham Hotspur - Possibly New Manager Watford - Possibly new manager (it's Watford!) West Ham United - New Manager Wolverhampton Wanderers

We're obviously not going to get rid of them all, but quite a few will probably go. We'll probably keep some of the ones not really good enough (Stephens, Austin, Redmond, Long) Would leave us with something like. GK McCarthy New Lewis DF Cedric NEW (Valery?) NEW Bednarek Stephens Hoedt Yoshida Bertrand Targett OR McQueen MF Romeu Lemina Hojbjerg JWP Davis AM Tadic Redmond Sims Hesketh NEW NEW ST NEW Long Austin Gallagher Thats still about 25 aged over 21 players...

Surely he'll go to Man Utd when Mourinho gets bored...? or abroad.

Because some are out of contract and others simply not good enough Forster - not good enough, high wages, not needed Stephens - not good enough Gardos - contract Pied - contract Targett - surplus with McQueen (maybe you'll see him go to Fulham or us to keep him with McQueen loaned out) Clasie - surplus Davis - not good enough but possibly keep as he's a leader and seems a good bloke and been here years Reed - Like him, but probably needs to go and play - not going to get games for us. Boufal - sh!thouse Austin - not good / fit enough. Gabbiadini - Barely played this season, and doesn't seem to fit in with style - expect him to return to Italy. Carrillo - sh!t and a waste of money Don't think that lot are unrealistic. We currently have a bloated squad of average players which we need to replace with some quality. You could make a case for more also....Bertrand, Lemina, Cedric, Redmond, Tadic, Long....

Think one of them atleast needs to move on, I'd be tempted to move Stephens and possibly Yoshida on, and get 2 in alongside Bednarek & Hoedt.

Yes- because Stephens is largely terrible, not good enough for the premier league at the moment. - Can't tackle - Can't head - Doesn't track his man very often - Poor distribution Stones is decent, younger than Stephens, however I agree they should have bought VVD as Kompany's long term replacement.

Keep McCarthy, Cédric, Yoshida, Hoedt, Bednarek, Bertrand, McQueen Romeu, JWP, Lemina, Hojbjerg, Hesketh Tadic, Redmond, Sims Long Leave Forster Stephens, Gardos, Pied, Targett Clasie, Davis, Reed Boufal Austin, Gabbiadini

Silva? Emery? West Ham - such an odd club.

I'm expecting Emery to go to Everton or West Ham.

Bullsh!t.

Got to be Hughes. We’re not suddenly going to go all out and eat a top manager with 1. Our squad, and 2. Our philosophy (stepping stone). If Hughes gives us 2/3 years of mid table solidarity then happy days IMO.

He is however only 26 years old now. Would be interesting to see how he would get on in the Prem.

Don't think the home shirt can be, as I'm pretty sure we can't have a striped back anymore? Black one is lovely. Would like to see a yellow option in there rather than the blue one though personally.

Hughes has first of all got the fans back on-side and got them believing again. It's going to be a very important summer, but he has to stay. With the right signings there is a no reason why we cant finish top 10 next season under him.

Foden will probably start.

Isn't he supposedly off to Chelsea?

Think I'd feel like I do with Saints not but the opposite. We are almost there, but there is a very small chance it could happen. City are capable of beating any side in the league by 5 or 6 if they turn it on. I'd be more confident that City can beat us 6-0 than Swansea winning 4-0 If I was a Swansea fan, I would expect relegation, but I'd hold out a small bit of hope that something magical can happen. It's not over, 100%....yet.

Top assists in the Championship this season Top scorers in the Championship this season

Not that we ever really sign domestic players, but would think about the below. Swansea Fabianski Mawson West Brom Evans Dawson Stoke Butland Zouma Allen Shaqiri

McCarthy Cedric Bednarek Yoshida Hoedt Bertrand Romeu Hojbjerg Lemina Tadic Long Just keep it tight and play on the break. Even we have won 8-0 in the prem, City are more than capable of sticking 6 past anyone in the league. It's not over yet, and I'll certainly be worrying if we're 3-0 and Swans are 2-0 up at HT...!

Says who? Can't see it personally. And I thought they sorted that distortion out a few years ago regarding Monaco/tax which was why a few of their players left. (Falcao & Rodriguez)

Don't think he's particularly bothered about being here and pretty sure he'll probably already have something lined up in the summer, but there is a decent player in there and it's a shame it's not really worked out for him here after the first few months. He's got talent for sure, it's just he cant seem to fit into the way we have played (managers fault for sure!)
