With Financial Fair Play restrictions limiting Garry Monk’s ability to reshape the squad, we are likely to see a number of players leaving St Andrews this summer.
High wage earners like David Stockdale have already been tipped to leave as the manager looks to shake things up.
Fans on Twitter have been involved in some lively debate over who the club should sell:
The big cheikh he is technically awful and for the money he is on we can get two better players on half his wage my opinion

Ndoye Gardner Roberts would be my priority to move on and possibly look to sell Adams for a decent price as I think we will have a few attacking options next season

The juke!! Has done well since monk arrived but think we could do a lot better!!

No chance he runs till he drops for the team and he gets important goals for us we need someone like him so he would be the last one I got rid of! For me is ndoye and if we can I would keep stockdale and Gardner and try and get a load for Adams as vassell is back and he is better

Mags?

Mate he was by far our best player last season and under monk became a totally different player why would you get rid? Give him a full season with monk and he may excel even more pal

NDoye (for any price) , Jutkiewicz and Gardner if his wage is high

Ndoye, Gardner, Roberts, simply not good enough

N'doye is the obvious but I would also cash in on Che Adams. Stockdale would also be gone.

Kuszack I'd cash in on
— Nathan (@nathancarty112) 22 May 2018
'Cash in'? Nobody is gunna pay a transfer fee for him, he's 36.

Easy Ndoye enough said, 35 k a week and can’t pass it 10 yards

Verdict:
We have to keep our best players so I can’t agree with the few who are advocating letting Jacques Maghoma leave. Stockdale, N’Doye and others are more likely to go.
I am wary of wholesale changes as we have experienced a huge turnover of players in recent seasons, which has no doubt also played a role in us struggling at the wrong end of the table. Some stability is also required.
Of course, we need to make some significant improvements, and I am sure Monk knows which positions we need to upgrade.
