Taking age and potential into account I think there's only Luiz, Torres and Kamara I'd choose to keep over Ramsey. We have a lot of very good players int he squad right now but a fair few of them are in, or close to, their 30s now so I'd not want to sell any of the younger players if we can hlep it, they'll need to be at the heart of a new first 11 in a few years so we'd just be creating problems for us down the line.

I really wouldn't want to sell Ramsey, for as this season has shown, he plays a role which is very difficult to replace. If it came down to it, I would probably sell Kamara or Luiz before Ramsey, as central midfielders woukd be easier to replace.
Above list.

Accounts are overdue according to Companies House.It's interesting that the paperwork for extending the current financial year to the end of June was only filed after the January window had closed.

And yes, from this year we've made the accounting end date the same as the season, ie end of June rather than 31 May.
I mostly agree on this but I think it's a bit unfair on Duran who I think could become a very good player and is younger than players that aren't even listed because they're 'one for the future'.
Are the accounts out this week ?
I'm sure we're close to FFP limits but I can't believe we would have signed Rogers and the young right back if there was any chance of us going over the threshold. It just doesn't stack up to me.We may well need to sell a big player to allow us room to keep building, but I'd be amazed if we had got ourselves in a position where we need a forced sale this financial year.
