I don’t think we lose any of them, if grimes is the level of player we’re signing then we won’t be far off again next season
MVE will be halfway through his deal and in high demand, if anyone’s going it’s him. Also think we need an alternative to Simms, but can’t see many takers for him at the price we’d want.

I think Dovin’s injury and Van Ewijk and Rudoni’s form changes our priorities. I don’t know about anyone else but I’m assuming we lose Wright, Van Ewijk and maybe Rudoni. So we’ll need to prioritise two RB’s. Well maybe get away with 1 LB but we’d need an attacking midfielder. Interesting summer coming up.
I think they will only go if a Premier League ( or other top League) club come in for them. Prossibly one will go to finance a partial squad rebuild.

Peripheral players are more likely to move on.

If we lose any of those three what we do will all depend on how much we get. You could conceivably be talking more than Vik and Gus for the three of them. At which point you’re probably looking at positions you weren’t before.

Think priority has to be GK CB LB, backup RB, then another option in midfield and at RW, obviously replacements for any first teamers we lose comes first. If we had the cash I’d probably get another CB, ST and CM and let some of ours go.

Ideal Doug wins the Euromillions:

GK/Collins/Dovin
MvE/RB
Thomas/CB
CB/Kitching
LB/Dasilva
Grimes/Sheaf
CM/Torp
Rudoni/CM
RW/Sakamoto
Simms/ST
Wright/EMC

Out: Wilson, Lats, Binks, Bidwell, Eccles, Allen, BTA

Loan out: Bassette, Rapha

We are play off contenders this season but could have done with one or two up grades. But when it comes to the top two we are way off. Need 4 or 5 signings.

Broadly agree with this. Would maybe keep Eccles or bring in another CM, we've needed the depth there this season and we seem to get a lot of injuries in there.

A good LB & RW would put us about where Sunderland are I reckon

Would need so much more to bridge that gap to the top 3 - only Wright/Rudoni/MvE would get into their teams I reckon

Look at it another way. Assume no one goes as if they do replacements become priority. But from the current squad what do we need to be a Leeds/Sheff/Burnley? Immediate answer I know is a parachute payments but for me we still concede far too many stupid goals. If you put a very good left back, another option at RB and a top notch CH into the current squad we would be as good as any.

Think we need something different in there and then we’ve got a lot of sort of meh okish players and could probably upgrade one or two if the cash is there. Mostly I think after Rudoni your attacking midfield options are non existent.

The midfield could do with a freshen up anyway imo. Neither Sheaf or Torp can stay fit for any sort of run of games, and we should be looking at upgrading Allen too. Sheafs contract situation makes him an obvious choice to cash in.

Burger at Stoke and Kyprianou at Peterborough would be good options. Even Allen for another season as 6th choice wouldn't be bad.
