According to Talk Shite's 'experts' this morning, we're going to do a Sunderland.

Left hand side of defence is not as I would like, but that's a side easily capable of top 6, so I do not agree we've been left with nothing or starting from scratch. I think there's a great deal of anxiety exaggerating the situation into the chaos of not knowing for sure quite what will happen this summer.
I said that's the best possible team we can put out there now. People are chucking figures around and you've mentioned £40-50m, I have not seen that anywhere else.The two I have seen are £39 million if everything hypothetically stayed the same, and we all know many things already have or imminently will and £20 million being closer to it from Chelts.We already are selling players and Gollini is off, Elphick is off, it seems De Laet is off and I would expect Lansbury and Thor to follow suit too. I feel positive because I think everything is an opportunity to succeed.

I get that you're trying to be positive but there's no way we'll start the season with that team.All that's gone from that team are the loanees aren't they? That will gain us £10m of the £40-£50m we need to find. So we're going to have to sell some players to bridge the gap or run the risk that even if we win the league the EFL might dock us enough points to stop us going up.
