I’m sure it can’t be helped but it feels like we’re treading water a bit this pre season

Sounds increasingly likely we need to sell before we can buy and there are plenty of players free to leave. How long is it going to take to shift any number of Aarons, Rashica, Tzolis, Placheta, Todd, Onel, Hugill etc etc? We’re going to be in a position where these players have played in pre season games / start the season when we know they’re unlikely to be with us long term. Then we need to find replacements and integrate them into the team. Not an ideal position to find ourselves in 4 weeks before the season starts

I’m sure it can’t be helped but it feels like we’re treading water a bit this pre season (NCFC) - Duck, Jun 27, 12:30:52
- I’m not too worried as the gap from PL to Champs is a big one. We have good champs players (NCFC) - ChengdeCanary, Jun 27, 13:36:13
- Not ideal at all trouble is at the moment we have 37 players … (NCFC) - loz, Jun 27, 12:55:03
  - Yep - I think we would be in a position to buy before we sell (NCFC) - jamesward, Jun 27, 12:56:50
    - Yes pretty sure we have cash but clearly a need … (NCFC) - loz, Jun 27, 12:58:57
- Seriously worried at the lack of midfield improvements (NCFC) - matgore, Jun 27, 12:45:58
  - "Worst midfield in our history" (NCFC) - Legacy Fan, Jun 27, 14:33:51
    - Ok I’m relation to division we’re in (n/m) (NCFC) - matgore, Jun 27, 17:36:21
  - Hayden, PLM, McLean, Sorensen are perfectly good Championship midfielders (NCFC) - norwaay, Jun 27, 13:12:45
    - PLM has never played a game in the Champs and did JLS get more than 1 is his actual spot? (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jun 27, 13:20:49
      - No, that's a fair point - I meant more that PLM should be good at that level. (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Jun 27, 13:24:57
        
        I'd put him in the Stiepi role (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jun 27, 13:32:34
  - Issac Hayden, PLM, Sorensen, Kenny… am I missing anyone? We need one more? (NCFC) - DH Yellow, Jun 27, 13:03:27
    - We have Hugill back. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jun 27, 13:27:56
      - He’ll be alright for the champs (n/m) (NCFC) - DH Yellow, Jun 27, 13:36:00
        
        But he wasn't though was he? Not for us, nor for WBA or Cardiff (n/m) (NCFC) - Legacy Fan, Jun 27, 14:34:47
        
        He was for us, considering how many games he played. He’ll be fine as back up next season (n/m) (NCFC) - DH Yellow, Jun 27, 14:44:29
        
        Did OK at Cardiff (NCFC) - jamesward, Jun 27, 14:37:23
        
        It's not ideal, at all, but I'd hope he'd be better than 2 years ago (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jun 27, 13:49:10
- At least we know most of the players can "do a job" and if they're not wanted (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jun 27, 12:33:44
