[QUOTE="BPM, post: 1034194, member: 59968"] Yes I know, but it seems like most other clubs have balanced that with incoming players. For example, Hougaard and Weir might be moving on from Worcester, but you also have Duhan van der Merwe and Chudley arriving. So far we have Brown, Baldwin, Lang and Young (who are all part of our preferred 23) confirmed to be leaving, along with Campagnaro (who has never really been available anyway). We also lost Clifford unexpectedly to enforced retirement. We also have quite a few out of contract too so I’d expect quite a few of those to move on too (fingers x’d Landajo and Garcia Botta are amongst them - they’ve been mostly dreadful for us). We do have some real talent in the academy, but we can’t replace 20% of our first team squad with kids and expect to be competitive. Particularly when we’re losing experience and quality in key positions. Right now, we have about 20 genuinely good players and another 10 who are decent enough. That’s about 10-12 short IMO. [/QUOTE]
