I'd keep Carlos if we can, as I think he has a lot offer and a future young(ish) back four need a leader.  Collins can go and possibly Dunne as I think this season has shown that he's not as good as he was.  Next season I would like our centre pairing to be Cuellar and Clark, with Herd at RB and absolutely anyone but Warnock at LB.

There's got to be some mug who'll see his finish on Wednesday and take a punt.

Lose Cuellar - £1.8m saved
Sell Collins - £4-5m - £2.6m saved
Sell Dunne £3-4m - £2.6m saved
Lose Beye - £2.08m saved
Sell Warnock - £3-4m - £2.3m saved

Earning us about £10-13m in cash and saving a further  £9.3m in wages

If this was FM (obviously not). I would love to see something like this happening:

Scott Dann - £5m - £1.8m a year
Nathaniel Clyne - £300k [tribunal] - £1.04m a year
Emilio Izaguirre - £5m - £1.8m a year
Rhys Williams - £3m - £1m a year.

roughly £13m spent. roughly £3m saved

Straight into Randy's back pocket.

There's no way we will get that much for those players and it's unlikely we'll get the in players for that little. I'm pretty sure Dunne, Collins and Warnock will be here next season and will most likely still be starters.

Interesting what we do at the back now. Cuellar (one of the brighter spots today at left back!) will have to play central with Collins, as Dunne and Clark are out for 4-6 weeks according to he who excellent game plans.

So what will the re-shuffle see?

Hutton Collins Cuellar Baker? Warnock not playing was the only thing he got right today, I hope it is stuck too. Also, Collins played quite well.

Collins' default ball today was the pass back to the keep rather than the hoof upfield. Not sure if this is progress or not.

Shame that Carlos will have to move back inside because I thought he did a good job on the left.

Hutton-Cuellar-Collins-Lichaj

Left back is tough, wouldnt be surprised to see anyone of Lichaj, Stevens, Baker or Herd play there

Thought all four of our defenders did well today

Hutton is improving I reckon. Just needs to be told if he acts like a thug again he will be dropped. With someone like Herd fit we could do that.

Cuellar did well but a speedy left back comfortable on the ball would add to our attacking play.

I'd give Cuellar another year to be honest. Versatile and at home in the EPL. The likes of Lichaj and Baker may not be.
