Next seasons squad

fudge it I’m going all in. We’re staying up.

Who’s in your squad for next season?
Who are you selling?
Let’s keep it somewhat realistic. Say a max £100M net spend.
 
Ive said that we are staying up and I believe it. I was optimistic after the Sunderland game and the Brighton game was a kick in the teeth. We beat Leeds and I think we are good. West Ham’s morale is far too low for them to get anything against Arsenal.

So I’ll wait a week before I post here … but I think that we all have an idea … and as for £100m, this mob need to be spending something more like £250 net to change anything on the pitch.
 
Safe to assume

- Vic, Bissouma, Romero, Dragusin, RKM, Davies, all gone

Like "new" signings

- Maddison, Kudus, Odobert, Deki
- I'm assuming we won't see Xavi for most of next season

Decisions to be made
- Richi or Solanke (think we move one, keep one)
- Pape, like him, but I still feel it's 2 out him, Gray, Bergvall (and the other two are a lot younger)
- Vuskovic, Moore, Lankshear, Williams-Barnett
- Vic replacement
- LB and RW positions
- CF

I'd assume we will spend (desperation position plus we likely got bent over on commitments to get RDZ in), plus money from sales (which if includes Romero, Vic and Pape, could be a decent bit)
 
I think I totally agree with your idea.

- Vic is not good enough at some of the bassics we need in this premier league. Corners etc. Has to go. Romero im tired of him going missing at times and his ego. Dragusin is not good enough, same for RKM. Davies its just time after being so loyal.

- Keep one of Solanke or Richy. For me its Richy but with his injury record and maybe him wanting to go play in brazil it might be the latter.
- Pape seems to have gone of the boil.

So GK, LB backup, CF, Winger and scott from bournemouth
 
Providing we do stay up I see we have been linked with Robertson and Senesi. Though surely the latter would stay put if Bourenmouth are in the CL
 
[New Keeper], Kinsky, Austin
Porro, Spence, Udogie, Souza
Romero, VDV, Danso, Vuskovic, Phillips
Gallagher, Madds, Gray, Bergval, Sarr, Bentancur, [New CM]
Kulu, Moore, Kudus, Tel, Xavi, Odobert
Solanke, Lankshear, [New FWD]

If I'm honest, even that squad is probably too big for league campaign and 2 cups. No space for Takai, Devine, Abbott or Yang either.

As people know, I'm not a fan of a squad overhaul and certainly don't want to see quantity over quality again. I'm not even sure we can get the 3 signings I've identified with the budget we have. We may only be able to get 2 of them.
 
Alex Scott and a proper goalscoring #9 to replace Solanke

Definitely also move on some squad players to integrate Vuskovic, Lankshear, Moore and Donely

I would agree with this for the most part.

Depending on who the keeper is we bring in I could look to loan Kinsky. If its an older keeper, someone like a terStegan is avalible, you sign him with the view of Kinsky taking over in a year. If its a younger keeper like Trafford or Atablulu who we have been linked with I would keep him to compete with them.
Austin I would loan out. We don't need to worry about home grown without Europe so let him get a season in a lower European league.
I would consider selling Spence as well. Just think we can bring in a better level of player.
If Senesi & Robertson are coming on a free I would loan out Souza and probably sell Phillips who I think we could get close to £10M for.
Id be open to selling one of Romero/VDV if the price was right and replacing.
I would sell Sarr and retain Palinhia. I think we already have too many players of Sarrs profile and Palhinha offers something different and can almost be a specalist for away games or home games vs top 5 teams. I would also have Devine be part of the squad next season.
I would add in another Winger/Forward type player as well just because Xavi & Odobert will miss most of the season and we can't count on Kulusevski. Kudus might even miss the start.
If we did bring in another Striker for Solanke to compete with, Id send Lankshear back out on loan.
Byfield & Williams Barnett cannot be loaned out until January so mix them in as well.

Ideal signings would be that have been linked.
Trafford, Scott, Adeymi, Marmosuh. That will cost you about £200M once you add in Palinhia as well.

Sell
Vicario, Dragusin, Sarr, Richarlison and some young players to get about £75M back.

Trafford, Kinsky, 3rd GK
Porro, Spence, Udogie, Robertson
Romero, VDV, Danso, Vuskovic, Senesi, Byfield
Gallagher, Madds, Gray, Bergval, Bentancur, Palinhia, Devine, Scott
Kudus, Adeymi, Moore, Kulu, Xavi, Odobert, W.Barnett
Marmoush, Solanke, Tel
