In: First Team Right Back: Cyrus Christie-Coventry First Team Center Back: Shaun Hutchinson-Mothwerwell Backup Center Back: Michael Keane-Manchester United (Loan) Backup Left Back: Tyler Blackett (Loan) First Team Attacking Midfielder: Jacob Mellis-Barnsley First Team Striker: Lewis Grabban-Bournemouth Experienced Rotational Striker: Grant Holt-Wigan Striker That Can Play On The Wing: Patrick Bamford-Chelsea (Loan) Out: John Ruddy-So overrated its unbelievable, I have always disliked him from the first season we signed him. M.Bunn-Rate him higher then Ruddy but I think with his contract expiring its time to move on and give Declan Rudd his chance with Carlo Nash as a serviceable backup in the Championship Sebastian Bassong-Unlikely he will want to play in the Championship and had a poor season this season. Ryan Bennett-How anyone can rate this guy as a defender is beyond me? Michael Turner-Contract expiring soon, is advancing in age and is incredibly unreliable. Javier Garrido-Doubt he would want to play as a second choice in the Championship, fully expecting him to be playing back in Spain next season. Alexander Tettey-Good player when he is fit, unlikely to want to play in the Championship and is easily replaceable. Leroy Fer (Loan)-I thought he played very poor in the second half of the season, I would do similar to what QPR did with Remy and loan him out to a Premier league team as he is not going to want to play in the Championship and if he plays well and we go up we will instantly have improved are squad for the next season and if he plays well and we don''t go up it increases his sell on value and with no immediate money needed we are in a position to do this. Johnny Howson-Never rated him always thought he was poor and would happily see him go. Wes Hoolahan-Clearly does not want to be here, getting a bit old might as well cash in when we can Anthony Pilkington-Just too inconsistent, injury prone and is easily replaceable. Robert Snodgrass-How he got player of the year last year is a myth? Was I the only one that thought he played very poor last year? Yeah sure he got a goal every few games but did he ever deserve those goals, No. Gary Hooper-I have nothing against Hooper just think its would be best for both club and player to part ways, however I wouldn''t accept anything under the 6Million mark for him. Ricky Van Wolfswinkel (Loan)-Similar to my method with Fer, loan Van Wolfwinkel to a Eredivisie team such as PSV for a season and if he plays well give him one last shot if we go up and if we don''t and he plays well it will increase his sell on value. My First Team Squad 2014/15: D.Rudd C.Christie R.Martin S.Hutchinson M.Olsson B.Johnson E.Bennett N.Redmond J.Mellis L.Becchio L.Grabban - C.Nash S.Whittaker M.Keane D.Fox A.Surman P.Bamford G.Holt - R.Matthews A.Gatafiti T.Blackett R.Hall-Johnson J.Murphy J.Loza I already can predict that everyone is going to slate this because its controversial but I feel that this squad is compact, young but still good enough to win promotion. I know its a small squad but with a vast loan window available in the Championship I feel that if someone gets injured there is solutions available.
