Good points Tim... I'd only add the additional players because in a real world scenairo I can't see us being able to sell all of the players anyway. I mean we'd still need buyers...and who would buy Douglas:-) Life isn't Championship Manager so expecting to sell everyone you'd like to part with isn't going to happen. If we could be rid of 6-9 of the 13 or so who aren't up to scratch then that's good business. My point in adding the other 5 is that I can't see any reason for trying to keep them over some of the others listed. Marques will be 31 next season and isn't likely to get any better. If we could make the changes over this January, Summer and then next January then that would be a smooth transition. Obviously the sooner the better for some of this dead wood. And any disruption can't be worse than what we over came this off season.
