If Stuart, Robinson, Terry, Porter, Huke, Byrne and OConnor sign!
Whats the situation with Downer too?

Assuming they all sign, that leaves us with a strong core that we have had this system with the key players still here - its just a matter of finding a quality striker and some more backup in midfield and defence.

I'm confident that JE will be able to bring in a few more decent players, as he hasn't dissapointed with what he's already brought in. Also to be fair, the players he's released are decent players at this level!

I wouldn't be too disappointed if that was our starting line up for the first game of next season, with Faz in the CF role. I do think we need a good target man up front, who can hold the ball up and put the ball in the back of the net - a Jefferson Louis type who is willing to put the effort in for EVERY game!
We would still need at least 2-3 more players to provide cover (IF Byrne signs), depending on whether Aynsley and Nabil are ready to make the step up next season (which I doubt).

A left-footed defender 'ey?
Could be reading too much into it but doesn't that seem to suggest Stuart/Robinson aren't going to sign...

Maybe JE wants cover on the left without asking either Osano or Corkie to play there?

Possibly yeah, Aynsley probably needs more experience before playing at this level too!
