The initial names that have to clear out are Fofana, Sanchez, Gusto and Delap. Overall the team put it far more effort than far more times this year and it's a shame that they're only willing to turn up in games they feel are important.
Levi's return is as good as any signing, and if we are going to play Reece in the middle more often, it's right to know two blokes who bleed blue and have exceptional passing range will control a lot of the build up.

Sadly, I think Chalaboa will be sold rather than Fofana. Delap will be a loan, but I hope Gusto is sold. Sanchez will stay, but Jorgensen will be let go.

Tom,
Can I ask why you think Sanchez will be kept and Delap only loaned?
I would keep Chabs and let Fofana go.
I would also sell Garnacho, Guiu, Lavia, Badiashile, Tosin.
All this with the caveat, any decisions should be down to the new head coach.

I think Sanchez will be seen more as competition for Pinders.
I can't see them giving up on Delap so soon, as his season never really got going because of injuries and suspensions. Of course, if a club comes in for him with a big offer, then I guess he will be sold.
I do think Guiu, Badiashile and Tosin will all be playing for a different club next season.
I can't see Lavia being sold.

Sorry, goodbye Gusto as well.

I would be fine letting Chalobah go... he's just simply not good enough - we may even need 2 cbs, Levi, the only one that fills me with any confidence.
Hato, Achampong - I would keep, as I see potential.
Sarr, Anselmino - no idea tbh, need to see them play a bit more.
Fofana - I think his injuries have disrupted his development, as he seemed destined to be top level at one point.
Chalobah, Badiashile - not good enough now, then and forever.
