For the 'Won't sell all our players', I think theres an assumed caveat that if we get silly money (Ie £7m for Just) we have to sell.
Similarly, we are incrementally replacing, and in some cases upgrading on positions we've sold.
You then have players agitating for moves.
Paulsen IMO seems an upgrade on Ward
Moormann is at least as good as Welsh (was on loan anyway).
Hodge seems an adequate replacement for Watt (Who was apparently set on moving).
I think the club justnmeant they wont throw the baby out with the bathwater and will suitably recruit.
