All this talk of a major overhaul of the squad in the summer

I think this will happen anyway due to players contract expiring. The only question is what renewals the club wants to exercise. We have options on Ruddy and Bennett that I think should be exercised (because I don't trust us to sign anyone better and a good manager can get the best out of them).

Outs: Bassong, Whittaker, Lafferty, Mulumbu, Turner
Possible Outs (if we receive bids): Klose, Naismith

Considering the wages this frees up I think 5 or 6 shrewd signings in the right areas could allow us to challenge next season
So we need 2 new left backs (hopefully Dijks on loan again)
2 new centre-backs (1 if Klose stays, John Egan or Tom Lees would fit the bill)
A pacy striker who can finish (someone in the Grabban mould)
A midfielder to cover or improve on Tettey (Mooy would be great on loan)
