I think with Sean Long leaving and no doubt one or two others leaving, we'll have plenty of space of the cap to re-jig our squad and improve in some weak areas with some real quality whilst continuing to give the youngsters a chance.

We have money to burn....unless we decide to use it to shore up our ageing club and financial situation , hmmmmmm.....

This is now fact! We were "cashed up" before we offloaded Longy, we must be Squillionaires by now!

I wouldn't hold out for too many signings. Indeed, Soliola might well be our only buy.

If that is the case again I'll be asking for a reduction in the season ticket price. None of the youngsters have played enough to warrant new deals so there is no justification for not spending big this off season. Longy won't be the only senior player to leave the club and anyway will surely be the highest paid player we have.

Other than, say... building a new stadium?

I'd definatley use the money from Longy's wage to bulk up the front row, to make sure young Eastmond (or Smith, if Conroy's reading) has the best platform available.

Lynch would be the pick of the off contract SL players, but I reckon there'll be a few clubs chasing him which'll inflate his price.

I completely agree we are desperate for a big prop to replace JC and a British one would be preferential. Lynch is the best availiable, but as you say alot of teams will be in for him. As for Oz players, i think O'Meley could do a job for us.
