Agree with you on this point, tricky. Piss poor windows, knowing a load of money is coming in. I'm sorry, but still having Walters, Whelan and Adam plus one or two more is nothing less than a joke. Jon did all right yesterday, but IMHO this club should be employing better considering all the money coming in from the premiership alone!

I have no idea tbh but I'd like to think of we want that sort of player we find them ourselves before they reach that price tag. We can't be spending that much on a position that isn't critical to what we need overly. |

Massive clear-out will not happen ......unless the unthinkable 'r' word occurred. It needs to or the r word will happen. give over |

One thing Im sure we can all agree on assuming we stay up and, assuming we keep our manager there's a very obvious and massive clear out of players due and some very hard decisions to be taken including, some of our loyalist most effective employees, as well as some very expensive flops they ALL need to be moved on - that much is obvious top level sport is a ruthless affair and there's absolutely no place for sentimentality or, simple baggage carrying, sorry to say and so a massive summer for Stoke City awaits - that is for sure and for Peter Coates - its absolutely essential to conduct - a pretty forensic, game by game review, along with our manager with, a very hard line in questioning- which too - is absolutely necessary Great Post. Reading that though, whilst I have previously said it should be the end of the season I think a change of manager sooner rather than later could help with the task at hand!? Such is the overhaul that is needed. We couldn't do anything to help the new incumbent assess the loanees but at least he would be able to focus more on those in the close season. |

Massive clear outs never work unless your spending serious, serious money bringing the best players in
We do need a new RB, new DM and back up CB/LB and then one or two squad players but we are not far off just a couple of key players
---------------------------Butland----------------------
New RB ---------Shawcross---------Indi---------Pieters
----------------------Allen-------New DM-------------
Arnie-------------------Shaqiri-------------------Sobhi
-----------------------Berahino-----------------------
Some players do need moving on though like, Bojan, Imbula, Wollschied, Adam, Ireland, Johnson,

At least two fullbacks and an upgrade on Whelan are a must this summer and another winger that doesn't suffer from leg day in the gym or altitude sickness would be a good start.
Cattermole for me when Sunderland go down is a no brainer

Not at all mother, I've posted here plenty before. I tend to find most of the discussion aggressively tedious - not in content, in style - but I do enjoy the lad dreamtheater's work. It's genuinely innovative |

Cattermole for me when Sunderland go down is a no brainer Would have been glad of him at one time but has suffered a lot of injuries the last few seasons at 29 theres a fair chance that his body won't be upto regular Premier League football. I'd be looking at someone younger and fitter. |

With Hughes as our manager, there will never be a massive clearout. We've never had a massive clearout before either. The deadwood issue has been there for years before Hughes came. Not defending him. Just saying that it shouldn't be used as a stick to beat him with as it's an ongoing problem with the club unable to get rid of deadwood. |
