Barkas will surely go if they can find mugs to buy him, Bain will presumably stay as No 1 but another keeper needed. In defence, Ajer, Laxalt, Duffy will go and they’ll try to build around young Welsh who is one of their better CBs in recent years. If Jullien ever gets over Covid and stookies, he’ll not contribute much next season and I don’t expect Bitton to play centre half too often, especially not against us. So I reckon they need at least three centre backs, cover for Taylor at left back and a right back. We’ll know if Fritzel is serious or not if they bring in O’Donnell at RB and Gallagher at centre half. Minimum five players required. Even more pressure on McGregor next season in the middle and Turnbull should start most games too. Soro for Brown is obvious (if he stays) but they need at least two decent midfielders just for numbers, never mind quality. Griffiths will be parped and I expect Christie to go too. French Eddie may well go back to France to see out his remaining years as an U21 international El Younoussi back to Southampton just leaves NaeNeck and Pikey Johnson with nobody to cross to. Duds (Klimala, Ajeti) will be moved on at a loss Minimum three first team strikers needed. By my reckoning that is at least eleven players needed just to stand still and gives them very little depth. We cannot be complacent (big part of the scum downfall imo) but we really need to capitalise on the absolute shambles they find themselves in. The last part is especially true. I know they have spunked a huge amount of cash, but if they only get half back of what they supposedly paid for each player then they will have a pretty decent amount of cash right there for anyone manager/DoF coming in to strengthen with. We are in an excellent position but can’t afford to take our eye of the ball.

No way they will get close to us next season. They will be battling with others for the places and even 2nd may be beyond them. We on the other hand are looking to further improve - we will not stand still. 56 is a given. DD seems to get that and has talked about the new manager needing time. scum will hate that as they lack patience. Soon as they start dropping points the protests will begin much to our enjoyment. Think they’ll get 2nd no problem mate. It would be some embarrassment if they couldn’t. Look at the rest of the league. There’s no one else that can challenge.

Don’t agree about Welsh he’s not improved their awful defending at set pieces and I don’t think he has the physical presence to build a defence around.

It’s all relative, mate. I agree he’s distinctly average but, next to Duffy and Bitton, he’s Franco fucking Baresi and, by far, the best of a bad bunch.
