Not so much of a difference losing fringe players like Obertan, Gosling, Amalfitano, Marveaux, Jonas (that's five) since they ain't playing anyway and most are useless. Remy is likely to leave so we need a proper replacement for him (more likely Cisse staying 'like a new player') while de Jong should be around to replace Shola. Ben Arfa, I can't see him staying without games and one year left on his contract.
- Obertan*, Gosling, Amalfitano, Marveaux*, Jonas, Shola, Remy, Ben Arfa (* provided some club wants him since there doesn't seem to be any remote interest.)
+ Cabaye replacement, Ben Arfa replacement, (+ de Jong)
Permanent signing of de Jong and a failed attempt at retaining Remy, plus a couple of replacements for Cabaye and Ben Arfa and that's likely all there is to our summer transfers. And then we will have people rejoicing at what great work we have done for that window.
