A Squad Transformed

It's amazing to see the squad transformation in just a year with: Henderson, Kapino, Lam, Mancienne, Traore, Ariyibi, Ward, McKay, Clough, Cummings and Vellios looking to join Bouch, Cohen, Hobbs, Lichaj, Mills and Vaughan out the door.

That's a potential 17 players in what must be our biggest ever clear out.

Players still here from start 17/18: 10. (5 are from the Academy)

Tbh, we probably still need a CM (Marney) and an AM (Tomlin) to finish the squad overhaul.

However, what a squad we have now. On paper, this aeroplane is going places!!
