Modified - thanks

Tammy Abraham

[JJ-AV]

Jota would take 23 I assume

Wore it at SHA and Brentford

[Hinckley Dave]

Bloody hell. When you look at that list of players left! I know that hopefully Hause, El Ghazi and Mings will be added to it but does show we've got a fair bit of work to do.

Guilbert to add.

[hilts_coolerking]

That's a lot of gaps, and some of those listed players won't be seeing much first team action.  Work to do.

[Hookeysmith]

Looking at it this way makes you realise just how big a job recruitment is this year.

I would assume there maybe another couple of leavers (as I don't think they are good enough for the prem)
Bjarnason
Lansbury
Hogan

With a few of the younger players going on loans

Davis
Green
Bree

Actually even with every previous loanees joining full time we would be well short

We may end up having to do a Fulham - But hopefully not with the same outcome

[UK Redsox]

Pencil Guilbert in at 2

Yes, however hard you try, you can't make anything like a Premiership team out of that left hand column. I'm sure Dean and Purslow have spotted that too.

[Kimaster1976]

If the season started tomorrow our strongest possible 11 right now would be:
1. Steer
2. Guilbert
3. Taylor
4. Hause (assuming it goes through without a hitch in the next day or 2)
5. Chester
6. Hourihane
7. McGinn
8. Grealish
9. Kodjia
10. Jota
11. Green

I think we would all agree that team would be heading straight back down barring miracles. The thought of that defense up against the top 6 and even the 7-14 clubs is not a pleasant one.

[Steve67]

Chester will be playing on one leg.
