According to yes the Daily Mirror, they reckon we're trying to offload Bakke on a free, Jermaine Wright, Ricketts, Ian Moore..... and Danny Pugh will be on his way out also.......
The sooner KB does this the better, best to start early, get things sorted........ no mention of Healy leaving yet though.....

Jermaine Wright, Ricketts, Ian Moore can go. But if Bakke has to go (which he doesn't) we should get some funking money for him. I don't want Healy or Pugh to go, no way.

I think the fact Pugh, Wright, Moore and Ricketts are leaving goes without saying. Apparantly Villa want him (well O'Leary does) but Ellis doesn't want to pay Bakke's wages at the rate they are now. I personally don't think Healy will leave.

I hope to God Healy doesn't leave, played in a 4-4-2 hes gonna get goals, the same with all our strikers......
At least the signs are good and apparantly the papers are saying we'll be looking to get new players from what we save on Bakke's wage...

That is where we need to strengthen if Bakke does go. We need creative midfielders who are going to create scoring chances and chip in with a few goals themsleves. Kind of like Jagielka and Koumas.

Francis Jeffers is poised for a free transfer move to Leeds despite Sunday's Play-off final defeat.
The 25-year-old striker, once an £8m signing for Arsene Wenger and Arsenal, is a free agent this summer after two lacklustre seasons at Charlton Athletic.
He made his name at Everton and is one of the few player's with an international strike-rate of one game, one goal for England.

Yeah. We need a decent left back too. Craineys decent, not prem standard but good enough for Championship, need a centre half instead, someone with pace...... Everyone under rates Crainey but he is our most improved player and often is one of our only defenders who looks to get into the game and also get forward and tries to link in well with Lewis.....

But who is there as cover? Killa is ok at left back, but more suited at centre back.

Gregan, Butler and Crainey are good defenders, but in order for us to have a season like Reading or Shef Utd we need a totally solid defence. Not one that crumbels as soon as they come up against some one pacey. Gregan and Butler are now on the way down, past their best, too old for next season, replace them with 2 or 3 much better players and we have solid building blocks to challenge for 1st place.

Yeh i agree, 2 new defenders, 2 new midfielders, preferably creative and i think we could get automatic...... got to be young, hungry and have a bit of pace though..

I think generally Blackwell has done a really good job with the transfer market so far, some of the players he's brought in have been great buys. I hope he keeps this up with the players he buys in the summer, personally I'm not sure where these 4 or 5 quality new players we need are going to come from.

I asked this question a couple of days ago, with no answer, I'll ask again. Does anyone know whats happend to Beckford? He hasn't even been on the bench in the last few games, don't tell me he hasn't lived up to expectations like a few too many players Einersson Moore Harding just to name a few.

i think KB has decided to go with the slightly more experienced players on the bench, ie. Blake, Healy, etc. I think he will be able to prove himself in pre-season and hopefully during the next campaign.

Hello...
I was also reading that we are still paying out £8 million to former players from Ridsdale era. Couldn't believe that the iritating prat had the audacity to turn up on Sunday "as a fan".
Another read was that both Bakke and Kelly are both set to get a a one off payment of £2.5m between them. It may also go some way to explain why Bakke was all smiles on Sunday while the rest of the team were pushing in the final minutes of the game. Twat....
