We wandered up, press our faces against the glass for a minute or two, then looked down at our bare pockets and walked away slowly with a little black rain cloud hanging over our heads.

This getting to break even point malarkey is ridiculous

Keep none of them. Play academy products, if they aren't good enough get rid and sign some who are. Maybe Sterry as DKE isn't there yet and would need backup anyway.

Sign a bit of steel in the middle, a bit of pace on the wing and in theory a goal scorer, but we aimt got the cash for one of them. I think Sordell is OK, peoples expectations were raised by Armstrong last year though.

We could muster a decent 11 out of our own players but only just.
Definitely then need to sign another 7-8 on loan and freebies

I would keep street and Page but I would play our lads far far more.

That made me smile at the picture of a little kid who doesn't have enough pocket money for the only toy he really wants for Christmas and then I realised that's our club.

Yeah I'm thinking that. It may be we don't have a RB, in which case I'd like to see us raiding the lower leagues or the Prem academy dropouts for one we can develop.

Basically I like loans either where they are holding a place for someone not quite ready or they add significant quality in am area that's expensive to strengthen (like Arma and Murphy last year). If neither of those apply (and a bit for the latter) then I'd rather see us bring in someone we can develop ourselves.

Loans are a gamble thoigh. to get an armstrong the same season you prob get a bryn morris too lol

A keeper would have to be a priority for me

Direct replacements for McCann and Ricketts.
Extend or replace Page & Sterry loans.
Replace one of the strikers who are leaving and get a midfielder in instead.
Maybe Vlad will go & can be replaced too, but his contract runs to summer 2017 so I doubt it. I think he will hang around till then.
