Seems as though Livramento could be off to Newcastle. He's one of the few that I feel we should go all out to keep

The transfer policy was confusing enough last season, buying players and not playing them!
But one thing we needed last season was a goalscorer. so what are we considering? Selling Tella?
Totally proven in the championship, on fire with his number of goals and assists! We need him so why on earth would we be considering selling him?

Completely agree. We need to fight tooth and nail to keep hold of young players with PL potential like Tino, Tella, Alcaraz and Sulemana and build the team around them. Then add players with leadership and experience through the spine like we failed to last year.
I really fear SR will try and sell anybody they can make a profit on. Top Championship players will head to Leicester, Leeds and Boro, especially if they see us lacking ambition and selling our stars, leaving us left with the rest or throwing the dice with youth players and from other leagues.
Why take a punt when we have proven players on our books?
Imagine Tella, Alcaraz and Piroe as a front 3?

The one thing I think with Tella is, he was on fire last season and the fans absolutely fell for him. We’ve never done that, and after all that work to get a team into the Premier League, to then go back and be stuck in the championship again must be quite soul destroying.
£20m for him I’d take, JWP will surely be off, as will Orsic, ABK, Onuachu, KWP, DCC, McCarthy, Lavia, Perraud, maybe Che.
Tino we don’t need to sell and the numbers being quoted are pathetic. Those above we can either let go or are PL quality and will probably want the move away.
Get a couple of battle hardened Championship players in - ST, CM, CB, build a spine, gain some resilience, play nice football, and hope we end up somewhere in the top six.
Bazunu, Tino, Salisu, Bednarek, Larios, Aribo, CM, Stu, Sulemana, Alcaraz, ST, with A Armstrong, Mara, Edozie, Ballard, Bree, Lyanco - given that’s a major clear out, still, I’d like to think, a decent squad.
The one issue we will have is being ready for a tough, 2 games a week grind for 8 months, which a lot of those won’t be up for.

Unfortunately any prospect of a pre-season friendly between Saints v Swansea will likely not go ahead due to the fact that Swansea City FC only have 3 Players, a Manager, Ballboy and the Groundsman left at the Club!

With the Club being in a cash strong position (subject to potential sales listed by Saint GGsy) although l would love to keep them Tino, Alcaraz, Salisu and Lyanco are attracting attention and in my opinion should be added to the list of outgoings along with Bednarek (regardless of Stephens situation) .A very hard look at Stu and Aribo whether both or either would fit into RM’s system as we definitely need to hit the road running in August.Therefore I would favour acquiring 4/5 of SWANSEA CITY FC PLAYERS PLUS FLYNN DOWNES.from WHU.We also need a class Keeper besides Bazuna (whether 1st.or 2nd choice) and promote 2/3 more academy players into the squad. A complete clean sweep with potentially 14/15 players to leave and the required shortfall brought in.
