I was thinking £5 million for Sugawara was excessive…..

Your retained list is shocking. We'll soon find out the real one and hopefully it will be better than this.

Have you forgotten Sam Amo.
On loan at Strasbourg.
I'd have him before Fraser.

He’s gone.

Strasbourg have a commitment to buy.

Didn't know that.
Is it a commitment to buy or just an option to buy ?.

Even if it was only an option, I really don’t think he’d be interested in returning having read some of the comments he made on social media saying what a refreshing change it was to be in a dressing room full of positivity and also how nice it was to be so appreciated. Personally I think he was treated disgracefully by our Club, as I see it, he was one of our brightest young talents with the potential to go a long way. I doubt he’d even consider a return to SMS after the way he was treated here.

Matsuki & Juan have had a reasonable season in Turkey. Takoaka is pretty much untried and was signed at 17 and didn't arrive here until March after his 18th birthday. If we, as is being reported, are sending some guys over to Goztepe perhaps we could get Romulo Cardoso in return, 6' 4" striker and a goal scorer!

Agree. If we retain this lot, and probably add mediocrity, we won't be challenging for anything next season. Pick out the 'better' players from that lot ( and even then there are doubts): Wellington, Edwards, Charles, Downes, Stewart and possibly one from Goztepe. They're good enough at Championship level but not very experienced. If they're retained, players like Aribo, Stephens, Edozie, Armstrong and Bree are capable at that level but nothing outstanding.
The good news is the hopefully we'd have enough to stay up but I can't see that's guaranteed with an average defence, midfield and strike force. Second bit of good news : I think Will Still can steer them away from relegation; he's got a good defensive record and seems adaptable.

Poll: SR Out - Yes, No or Not sure
