A few outgoings at centre half. In some ways sad to see Trevor go but in my opinion he was not top draw. Badiashile on the way to Napoli probably and Disasi will also go.
Colwill and Lacroix will probably be our starters with Fofana and Acheampong in reserve, probably an upgrade on last year but wouldn't want a long term injury to Colwill again.

Seymns, Badiashile is only a loan. I don't know why we let these Italian clubs get away with it. Still, he is off our books for a season. As for Disasi, apparently West Ham really want him, but he wants a PL club - some hope, but who knows.

I'm hoping that if Badiashile is going out on loan to Napoli or any other club that (a) it's a significant loan fee, (b) prefer obligation, (c) if not obligation, then achievable playing targets.
Apparently there is sort of back up deal for Disasi with the Happy Hammers, but now Palace are sniffing around, and I'm not sure how that works for Palace.

Yeah, not sure Palace will want to lose their profit off of Lacroix (in terms of SCR) by buying Disasi. Wouldn't matter on our end, as we'd probably not make much of a profit, if at all.
Could potentially do a Garnacho-type deal with Palace, but I think we've come up with some sort of creative deal with West Ham, where if they don't get promoted he signs him back.
