Hugill's not a done deal yet though

As I understand it.

But assuming he does come the squad looks good. I would expect Trybull, Leitner, Drmic and possibly Vrancic to leave.

Its then just a question of how many of the "crown jewells" go. I'm cautiously optimistic it may only be a couple. I think we could cope with losing Lewis and one of Todd or Emi. If all 5 were suddenly sold then there would be a very different vibe.

I'm not even sure we need another CB if Godfrey stays but given the number of games and the injury proneness of Klose (and last season Zimm) then it would be prudent to get one.

        He's nowhere near the finished article, and more easily replaced than Emi (NCFC) - jamesward, Aug 19, 10:30:19
  - If all four CBs were fit, who would you start with in a two? (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Aug 19, 09:31:02
    - easy, Zimbo and Ben.... (NCFC) - usacanary, Aug 19, 14:52:40
