TheEnchanter Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 4 minutes ago, Ante's Bubbly said: There have been stories going around that Bruce wants a smaller squad and hey presto 6 players go, then next minute the stories are going around that Steve Bruce wants six new players. This suggests that more players will be going, to get the squad size down, but which new players are likely to be coming? Out of all the rumoured players I could imagine Bonner, Onomah, Diame and Odubajo being possible signings, but who do we think the six could be? I imagined that there may be central defensive and central attacking midfielder in there. I would not be totally surprised if we sold several strikers and ended up with another one coming in to give us just three or four options up front, but it all seems to depend heavily on whether DC has done a deal for the ground and got the money in place to do the deals that Bruce wants and hopefully without making any of his own /Doyen/Paixos, dodgy signings on top with the money left over. Hopefully we will all say, "now it all makes sense", when we find out the reason why our accounts were delayed! Don't forget the 4 loan players leaving. Means 10 players actually departed. I could see 2-3 more possibly going too. Meaning if we bring in 6 then we'll still have reduced the squad size by a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nketiah rejected a loan to Augsberg last season and Willock rejected Sunderland in the same window, so both possibilities.

The Night-Owl Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Depending upon whatever budget Bruce is working with or potentially planning with (i.e ground sale or player sales, etc). I imagine if we can bring anyone in for a transfer fee, going on the names linked so far, then Hector and Morsy, should be top of the list? Other than that, I'd expect a few astute bargains and out of contracts similar to Iorfa (Borner and Moses already suggest that) plus hopefully a couple more quality loanees similar to Hector.

We also let 7 younger players go, although maybe only one or two of those could have been considered occasional squad members, just Freddy and O'Grady maybe, but yes the squad can still be smaller with new faces coming in. Which of the many publicised signings do you think will happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
