The list of players with 1 year remaining is pretty scary, the thought that they could walk away for no fee in 12 months means we need to get them putting pen to paper

From the 2015 class i'd only retain Jayko, Nasri and Milner tho.

We may be slightly fucked in the 2015-16 campaign unless some kids get wicked boners and start fucking with them like grown ups.

As it stands now then over the next three transfer windows we need, via incoming or kids moving up to the first team (EDIT: or renewed contracts as well i suppose):

a couple fullbacks, maybe 3
two CBs, and perhaps 3 unless someone thinks Nasti is serviceable at our level for realz
two midfield players -- a creative midfielder, and an all purpose bollocks-running-off "box to box" cunt type
a striker
a couple reinforcements/bench players/backup goalies, etc

8-10 players in or promoted -- doable i suppose but that's a shit ton of players to manage from a title winning side that seems like a great one that should stick together for about 3 years to see what they can accomplish. Age and contracts obv make that an impossibility.

Puts in perspective what the rags have done i suppose in the last 20 years, doesn't it?

cheers
