Explanation on players value on books v helpful - basically shows that unless we can get fees which all but net out for those on decent length contracts we’ll need to sell academy products or try and get some money for those towards end of contracts, neither very likely. With 4 loans already through the door that means no more than 1 loan signing at all likely this month. Wilfs injury (crazy PPG when he starts) prob means we’d sacrifice another left hand side defender for midfield cover, especially if Thomas comes back. Strange but feels like a bit of a downer even though so much positivity so far this season.

Stolarcyk Albrighton Coady Nelson Doyle Choudhury Yunus Casadei McAteer / Maswanhise Cannon Marçal Subs to include 2 or 3 more from the academy.

Don’t disagree. Especially as it looked like McAtee was close to signing back in late August. If you assume cannon would have signed too they appear to have been ready to get an extra number 8 in on loan at least

Bit odd as Enzo knew in the press conf that Iversen was leaving but still apparently said he couldn’t bring anyone in at the moment

In training pics today… bench tomorrow possibly ?

Got Casesei, Yunus and also Riccy P could slot into an 8 with Hamza inverting. He’ll be a huge miss but I’d say if one of Winks KDH and Ndidi were out for a spell you’d take Ndidi missing game time over the others

Rotate the shit out of this one. Get out with no injuries and that’ll do. stolarcyk, Albrighton, Coady, Nelson, Doyle, Choudhury, Yunus, Casadei, Marçal, Cannon, McAteer (if fit)

Give Yunus and casadei 45. If they aren’t dominating we’ve options to bring KDH on and also bring Choudhury onto the inverted RB with Riccy P stepping into the other 8 role.

If it’s not gone great first half can’t imagine KDH won’t be out for the second 45

Bench would look better with kasey and vards fit. Hopefully both back next week
