but that theory completely breaks down on the other one.

Leo might still come good. He could still become that Champions League player he knows he can be.

Yes he has the hair, the tats, the swagger, the arrogance and the grin.
All he needs now is some talent.

Cissokho "closing in" on a move to a club in Turkey is every bit as quick as he closes in on an opposition with the ball.

Dr Tony says he's agreed to get to squad down to 20 plus 5 kids. Even if Green and Bree count as kids that sounds a big challenge

I reckon we'll try to shift

Elphick (going it seems)
Cissokho (ditto)
Richards (can't see it)
Either Hutton or RDL
Amavi (big questions)
Tish
Gardner
Bacuna
Maybe one of the strikers too (can't see that either really)

Can see McCormack being loaned out again.

Even though he's knuckled down I don't think he's rated much by the coaching staff and SB would rather use Gabby off the bench.

By my reckoning this is our current senior squad, not sure if Bunn is still with us, Sisko and Veretout seem likely to leave. Still leaves a fair few to shift. I don't class Grealish, Tish and Bree as kids, Tony may do though.

Sam Johnstone
Nathan Baker
Neil Taylor
Micah Richards
Henri Lansbury
Tommy Elphick
Leandro Bacuna
Aaron Tshibola
Scott Hogan
Gabriel Agbonlahor
James Chester
Jed Steer
Conor Hourihane
James Bree
Jordan Veretout
Birkir Bjarnason
Alan Hutton
Gary Gardner
Jordan Amavi
Mile Jedinak
John Terry
Ritchie De Laet
Aly Cissokho
Mark Bunn
Albert Adomah
Jack Grealish
Ross McCormack
Christopher Samba
Jonathan Kodjia
Ahmed Elmohamady
Glenn Whelan

Veretout is leaving, Amavi should've already and maybe someone else will come in before September.

31 names there which is miles too big for a senior squad. I'd say an ideal number is 20 senior pros and then the next 5-10 are young lads wanting to break in so likes of Lyden, RHM and Green.

Just shows our fragmented our transfer windows have been the last few years. Constant windows of signing 5-6 and in some cases adding another 5-6 when we haven't even moved on the original players.
