This cull should also mean, that for the next few windows we can concentrate our time fairly exclusively on incoming deals.
Poch is just trimming the squad to his preferred 22 + kids.
Future windows will probably be more 1 out, 1 in; or 1 out, youth promoted. But we won't have to shift anything like the 13-15 we have this summer again. I guess that's the consequence of having 4 very different managers in 3 years.
5 outs, 3 ins and about £75m worth of business is still a lot to do in the next 2.5 weeks, even if Nigel and Soldado happen today.
