Personally as few as possible but who knows. Obvious ones that will leave are the long term loaned out players from last season. Hopefully we won’t be selling the likes of Grigg, Burn, Powell etc. I hope we have a small squad fighting to get a game. Do we really need to bring any players in? All have been brought in to play the type of game Cook plays so no need for them to adapt. Two strikers is ample as only one will be playing and providing none are injured. As little disruption as possible should see us ok. Paul as inherited a squad that should fly up the league. They just need managing.
All that said, this is Latics so it will be more likely ten out and ten in and a practice ground for half a dozen loanees whose heart and minds lie elsewhere.Heard that one. It’s going to be deja-vous time yet again in many ways. Martinez/Caldwell time again too.
Cookie was after Remie Streete while at Pompey so rumour is we will be in for him.Pardon my ignorance, but who’s he??

He was released by Port Vale and is a free agent. Now you may be thinking the obvious but apparently he was their best player last season and a few are supposedly interested in him.

Sorry I forgot about him. So we have one to flap about lost up top on their own, one to warm the bench and a spare Mon for injuries. Powell can also stand in up front.[/quote]Powell can also stand in up front.[/quote]
That’s if he is still here next season. Do hope so!!
Did Perkins and Flores sign the new deals they were offered? That may be 2 more gone from our squad if not. On top of that if we can offload the likes of Odelusi and McKay plus one or two others we have room to bring in a couple of new signings without having to lose any of our better players although I’ve no doubt some will want to move on.
There’s bound to be a cull and new players in. Cooky will have some players in mind to fit in with his ideas.

For me if the likes of Odelusi, McKay & Whitehead can be offloaded, they don’t need replacing purely in terms of numbers. Likewise it wouldn’t do any harm to trim some of the 1000 midfielders we have on our books & not replace them
We have been linked with the striker Doyle from North End who by all accounts is utter dog shite!

Can’t see him looking for strikers yet unless someone is leaving.

Grigg didn’t set the championship alight but looked superb in league one. Perhaps Doyle might be the same. Don’t write him off for what he’s done this season.
From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!
