With Aidy looking at our players, and the balance between 2007 and the future - with say maximum £8 million in the war chest, who would you sell if anybody, and which areas would you strengthen as a priority.

The problem is that not all the cash is evidently in the bank in spite of Press Reports - some will `dribble in after the close of the window`. Having said that, I guess they could borrow against it if necessary. The two mooted signings today don`t appear to be happening - so there is under a week left!
It depends on where we are league wise. If we go down I can see very few leaving but if we stay up - we need a clear-out! 1 Alec Chamberlain Goalkeeper Coach 2 James Chambers Defender Gone 3 Jordan Stewart Defender Gone 4 Malky Mackay Defender Coach 5 Clarke Carlisle Defender Gone 6 Jay DeMerit Defender 7 Damien Francis Midfielder 8 Gavin Mahon Midfielder 9 Marlon King Striker 10 Darius Henderson Striker (Gone if we sign a top striker) 11 Chris Powell Defender Gone 12 Lloyd Doyley Defender 14 Dominic Blizzard Midfielder 15 16 Richard Lee Goalkeeper 17 Dan Shittu Defender 18 Hameur Bouazza Striker 19 Anthony McNamee Midfielder 20 Alhassan Bangura Midfielder 22 Junior Osborne Defender Out on Loan 23 Adrian Mariappa Defender 24 Tamas Priskin Striker 26 Ben Foster (on loan from Man U ) Goalkeeper Gone 28 Albert Jarrett Midfielder Gone 29 Tommy Smith Striker 30 Jordan Parkes Defender 31 Claude Seanla Striker Gone 33 Scott Loach Goalkeeper 34 Ben Gill Midfielder Out on Loan 35 Alex Campana Midfielder 36 Moses Ashikodi Striker (Out on Loan if we sign a top striker) 37 Will Hoskins Striker 38 Lee Williamson Midfielder My view is we need to strengthen the entire squad. Our 1st 11 is not good enough and we have no strength in depth. Therefore we need two CDs, two LBs and a GK. Up front I am hoping we get a top striker in this window but if we do sign a good striker. The thing is with King back from injury we have: King Hendo Hoskins Moses as strikers - I can't see us having 5 push for the starting lineup's two places. I don't think Aidy will let Hoskins or Moses go as they are for the future. But it depends who we bring in. I can't see Francis go - and if he just plays like tuesday - good.
but hendo was brilliant on tuesday and everyone has changed their tune about francis because he played well
and he has scored goals in the Championship. Plus if Aidy is going to carry on playing long ball stuff Hendo is really the only good player at heading the ball.
U HERO! SOMEONE ELSE WHO ACTUALLY SEES THE TRUTH! can u understand what all these other -erm idiots seems to be the onli words-see in hendo?
Maybe the fact he scored alot of vital goals last season and actually adds something to the team more often than not? Bet you really disliked him after the matches at Luton,Southampton,Norwich and ofcourse in Cardiff. ;D Hoskins and Priskin are good but not when the ball is thumped 50 yards onto their heads.....
He did a nice pullback against Liverpool that came to nothing and he was good to even get a shot on target against Blackburn when Stewart crossed the ball near the end since he had to break stride and pull the ball with his back foot. He has definitely got potential and looks very sharp. If we can get more action in the opposition penalty box, he'll start to impress you, I suspect.
