Updated: Squad for next season

On the proviso we don't get taken over by some oil-rich Sheik who buys us Lionel Messi, who do you think will be in our squad for next season? I've given my list below but I'd love to hear others thoughts on the matter.

Sullivan - Gone
Ankeren - Would like to see him stay: young and decent
Stack - Back to Reading
Lund - Stay please, back up.


Crainey - Gone
Kishishev - Buy from Charlton
Gray - Buy from Blackburn
Richardson - Stay
Heath - Go
Derry - Stay
Marques - Not sure, don't think he'd survive the lower leagues
Sa - Gone
Madden - Stay
Delph - Stay

Douglas - Think he'll go. Won't want to play in League One
Thompson - Return to Celtic, signs for Championship team
Westlake - Could be useful if he makes the effort - Stay
Lewis - Too old. Go.
Einarsson - Stay
Nicholls - Hahaha....GO!
Bayly - Stay, try not to get sent off.
Rose - Intoduce to first team gently.
Carole - Stay

Flo - Go.
Healy - Sell. He won't play for us in League 1. Sanchez will buy him for Fulham for a couple of million.
Johnson - Back to Wolves.
Cresswell - Please stay. Pleeeeaaaassssse
Kandol - Might be the lad's year to shine. Stay
Beckford - Ditto.
Blake - Dunno, maybe stay.
Howson - Stay
Elliot - Stay

So, by my calculation we still need a few players to shore up the defence, one or two decent mifielders and maybe one more striker. Oh well, one can dream.
Update: Those in bold. Sully, Crainey and Sa are all released along with youngster Hird who had not made a senior appearance. Clearly judged not to be up to scratch. I think Sa should have stayed but otherwise I'm content. Just make sure wwe bring in some half-decent players to replace those going.
