Summer's coming and the transfer window chatter is already starting. The point is simple: we can't keep everyone, and some names will be worth holding onto while others should be moved on. It's about balancing the book, keeping the dressing room right and making sure we still score goals next season.
Who deserves patience?
To be fair, some players get unfair stick. Jack is a good example — yes, he's made mistakes, but he's been part of the group that kept us competitive when it mattered. You can see why there might be interest and why he could fancy a move in the summer, but if he's willing to stay and fight for his place, I wouldn't be rushing him out the door.
When it's time to admit it hasn't worked
Then there are signings that simply haven't landed. Cameron was one I had high hopes for, but it hasn't come together. Same with certain other arrivals where the fit just isn't there. It's not a failing by itself — sometimes players need a fresh start and sometimes the club needs to admit a bit of business hasn't paid off.
Keep, sell or wait?
I'd love to keep Raskin, Dio and Manny if possible; they're young, useful and still improving. But the reality of 'buy low, sell high' applies. If proper offers come in this summer it might be sensible to cash in and reinvest where it strengthens the spine. Bajrami feels like the wrong fit for us, despite his obvious quality. Chermiti can nick big goals, but we need consistency — especially with Tav's goals not guaranteed to be there next season.
As for the more awkward calls, Danny looks like someone who might need a move to get his career right, and I wouldn't want Djiga back given the likely cost and wage profile. Antman — if he's still unsettled — is worth keeping only if he's fully up for the fight. Squad harmony matters as much as individual ability.
No drama needed, just sensible decisions: keep the hungry, move the surplus, and make sure our strikers actually score. That's how you prepare for next season.
