Keep Seems to be the core of our first team.
GK - Al-Habsi, Jaakola, Bond
DR - Gunter, Watson
DL - Obita
DC - McShane, Moore, Ilori, Blackett
MC - Williams, Swift, Kelly, Evans, JVDB
AMR - McCleary, Popa
AML - Beerens, Harriott
FW - Kermorgant, Meite, Mendes

What do we expect to happen on the Williams front?

Get Rid Mostly meh, I feel bad for Quinn.
GK -
DR -
DL -
DC - Gravenberch,
MC - Wieser, Quinn?
AMR -
AML - Hurtado
FW - Rakels, Samuel

Why Not Keep? (restricted this to players who have made an app. for the first team)
GK -
DR - Keown
DL -
DC - Cooper,
MC - Kuhl, Barrett
AMR - Stacey
AML - Fosu
FW -

This would be my initial Prem team:

------------------------------Al Habsi

Gunter-----New CB=----Moore------Ilori--------New LWB

---------------Kelly--------New DMF-------Williams

------------McCleary -------------Grabban

With the expectation of replacing Gunter, Kelly and bringing in a top quality striker for the second season (if Reading survive).

Wouldn't be far off my team. To be honest I think we could find better than Grabban as a striker though. Obviously if we went up we'd have big injection of cash, and we would need to see who might be available. Someone like Tammy Abraham would be a decent shout I think (obv on loan at first)

Swift could make it in the Prem, and I expect Williams will stay if we are promoted.

Obita is a decent enough LB, and McShane, whilst not Premier quality could help a transition through to a stronger CB

Where we'd need to strengthen is the squad depth. I don't really think the likes of Mendes, Popa, Rakels, Beerens and Harriott could hack the Prem.

If we stay down, then I wouldn't change a huge amount. We could clear out some of the obvious chaff, and potentially strengthen up front. Certainly more mass changes wouldn't benefit us.
