So we'd be looking at signing seven players to bolster up to a 25 man squad, unless LUFC utilise a couple of the U21s to fill the squad.

I think we’ll lose Darlow/Tanaka and maybe Cairns unless Cairns is doing his coaching badges (not a bad thing).

Does anyone see any value in offering Darlow a split backup keeper-coaching position?

Sell/release 2 or 3, promote 2 or 3 and buy 7 or 8…

That sounds about right to me, I’m expecting at least 5 new signings.

Once again shows how well Farke did with a quite small squad in terms of players deemed first team standard. I would imagine at least a couple from the above 18 will leave too.

Dan James playing great for Wales tonight.

He could be like a new signing next season if he's over his injuries.

Depends - I am not sure Farke’s system suits him as it currently stands.
But if he can get over his injury issues and back to his best his pace is a useful weapon.
However the modern game in the EPL is becoming more about pace, strength and restricting space and that to some degree negates his game.

He always seems to play well for Wales but never quite manages it for us?

It has seemed that way this season, Tyzy.

Sadly it seems we may lose Willie and Pascal.
The rest will be retained.
Darlow will be reserve keeper when a new No. 1 is signed - if not he'll start the season - not a bad thing either.
