The People's Forum: I'm a bit surprised at how ruthless this clear-out is shaping up to be

so far it's only confirmed that Doucoure and Young of the outfield players are leaving but I'd be very surprised if any of the loanees stay on - aside from Alcaraz and even that's not certain.

Gana surely has to get an offer. Not confident anyone else will. Maybe Keane will be kept as backup. Agree we will probably need at least 8 in, huge amount of work involved both in tying up the deals and then integrating the new faces into the squad.

We need at least one backup/competition for Pickford.

We only have Patterson at RB and Myko at LB. Although O'Brien can fill in, leaving us only 2 centre halves if Keane goes.

So we need to fill at least 2 of 3 positions - RB, LB and CB.

Midfield - do we need another option or are Iroegbunam and Armstrong first team ready? Am assuming Gana stays.....otherwise...gulp.

Alcaraz must be signed.

We surely need to replace Doucoure too? And Harrison.

Then if DCL goes, along with Broja we are left with Beto plus Chermiti who probably needs a loan.

So at least one striker depending on DCL.

So I make that 8-10 players needed.

Who is in charge of transfers since Thelwell left? Has groundwork been done on all these positions?

And can we even spend before 1/7 due to PSR? Do we need to sell someone before that date? When does Alcaraz clause expire?
