Davis got the 2nd highest amount of assists in the SPL last season.
Adkins has already been quoted - "we are after 1, possibly 2 goalkeepers. 1, possibly 2 centre backs. Maybe a full back".
I'd drop:
Barnard
Forte
Dickson
Puncheon
Forecast
& also Harding (if we sign Buttner) and Seaborne (if we sign two centre backs - keep him if we only sign one)
The next players at risk would possibly be Butterfield and De Ridder, but they will stay in the 25 purely because we won't sign 9 new players - they also cover a number of positions.
I don't see how this is shying away from our tradition.
The whole focus of the article is 'red & white army'.
Maybe if we had the red home and a different colour to white for the away it might be a different.
Just looked at Europa schedule.
Spurs H 27th oct moved to Sunday if make group stage
Newcastle H 24th Nov move if group stage
Liverpool A 1 dec - unaffected
Newcastle A 23 feb - move if get to 2nd round
Liverpool H 16 Mar - move if get to 3rd round
Spurs A 4th May - move if get to semi final.
Imagine the group stage ones are quite likely.
