Next season.....

I have some concerns about next season. We will be losing around 9 of our current squad if not more. 7 loanees (some of which are probably not for sale on the cheap bertrand and evans and others whom I don't think are long term options anyway henry) 2 senior first teamers in dublin and hucks. We could lose more as doc and fozzy are approaching the end of contracts and players like Lapin, jarvis and martin are likley to be cut loose too.
Are we going to be able to fill 9 full time places in the close season. I cant see the board have the cash to fill these gaps, especially since we did spend quite a bit cash last year.
I do feel that this situation should have been avoided. Roeder cut away huge amounts of the squad, some of which needed to be done. But did it all. strihavka for example never really got a chance and unless his wages were that high he could have kept for a bit as he was probablt struggling with language and adjustment.
My concerns are that appart from rusty and marshall we have no real marketable commodities in the playing staff, no russian trilionaire to give us cash and virtually a whole squad to buy come may.
