Please plase stop going on about the forthcomin massive clear out, we're going to get rid of all the troublesome old guard blah blah blah.
That simply won't happen, so stop thinking this is some computer game where you can easily sell a dozen players and bring another dozen in without a care in the world
Football doesn't work like that. It just doesn't
Most of our squad, 'troublesome old guard' included, are here on longish, very well paid contracts and will only leave if someone out there actually wants to come in and buy them and they are prepared to go
Even if you can find buyers for some of them (and they'll be the good ones) the majority of the current squad will still be here - and add to that lot the likes of Musa, Slimani, Mendy, Ulloa, King etc. who will all be shuffling back through the door in a couple of weeks
We will undoubtedly buy some new faces over the summer, but most of the players everyone now hates, and who all clearly feckin' hate Puel, will be here at the start of the season
So bring in a manager who can assess what he's got, actually understand what he's got, and identify the very best way to play with what he's got. And THEN add the missing bits, if he can fnd them and they're willining to come
