The departures of a few of their high earners

City have struggled to offload high earners via the transfer market in previous windows but the summer could be the time when a few of the out-of-favour players that are taking up significant space on their wage bill depart.

Nahki Wells (the highest earner at the club at £27,000-a-week as per Salary Sport) and Kasey Palmer (the third-highest earner at £20,000) are two players that the Robins should be doing all they can to move on.

Palmer, meanwhile, has been out of favour completely and the South West club should look to capitalise on Birmingham City’s reported interest to bring his disappointing spell at Ashton Gate to an end.

Getting rid of that pair would free up nearly
