So who do we keep and who do we bury?
Goalkeepers:
Henderson, Navas, Horvath and Hennessey. First two loans, doubt we will see Navas again. Henderson's injury means signing him isn't necessarily desirable. Hennessey and Horvath both with another year on contracts, though Luton may be keen on buying the latter. I think we'll be buying a couple of keepers.
Defence:
Loans ending: Lodi and Aurier. I think both have done enough to try to keep.
No others out of contract. Felipe, Worrall, Boly, McKenna and Cook out of contract 2024. I'd keep Felipe, the others are arguably holding us back.
Of the rest, Williams, Toffolo (surprisingly), Niakhate, Biancone and Richards (by default) might still contribute, Panzo, Laryea and Soh would be on my move on with thanks for not contributing list.
Midfield:
Out of contract and best of luck to Colback and Cafu, bugger off to the out of contract Lingard and Arter.
Freuler also out of contract. Worth another go.
Ojeda and O'Brien both playing over the Atlantic with time on their contracts here. Seems neither has a future with us now we are staying up. Fornah clearly going as well.
Still have Aguilera to come,who I'm not sure has ever crossed the Atlantic.
Shelvey, Kouyate and Mangala is more than enough "just about adequate", need replacing all three with better. Yates, Danilo and one other would be my central three next season.
Scarpa? Worth a preseason? I don't know.
Forwards:
Taylor and Ayew are out of contract. Great!
Gibbs-White and Johnson are on the "hold on unless crazy money is offered.
Awoniyi has 5 in 3 games, was looking good prior to injury, definitely worth another season.
Surridge I assume we kept for relegation. Move him on.
Mighten might've been better, he needs the right move now to save his career.
Dennis seemed unwanted from the start. Harsh, but replace.
Hwang. Hwo?
So ideally, I'd be looking to add to:
Horvath, Hennessey +1
Lodi, Aurier, Williams, Toffolo, Felipe, Biancone, Richards, Niakhate +1
Freuler, Yates, Danilo, Scarpa +2 one being Ward-Prowse
Gibbs-White, Johnson, Awoniyi +3
