Summer rebuilding of the squad

Think you'd have to cut back on some of those loans. CB for example, you're leaving yourself with 4 options once you've sent the 3 out on loan and released Wes. Pick up a couple of injuries and/or suspensions and you're really struggling, same with CM options. Tbh I agree with the outs and ins but I just think we'd need to be a bit more stingy with our loan arrangements or ensure we had easy recall options

Have all the recall options you like you won't be able to re register them until the January window.

You know what? Moreno is awful, but for free for a season or two, I'd consider him, allowing us some breathing space to bring through Ughelumba and/or Thomas who both look quite good.

 

I doubt we would manage Haller, Frankfurt are on the up and getting Europa every season. 

According to a few Liverpool mates he was playing quite well last year until he got injured and Robertson came in, I can't see us getting anyone else with as much experience happy to be sat on the bench though. 

 

Agree haller might be a reach, but a striker who could use his head and feet would be a dream

He's showed more guile than Gray has for us, admittedly it's a very small sample size but backs up my view that Ghezzal is a better creator.

I also think that his last few appearances have been quite good, it's not just statistically that he's doing better, it's just that people are convinced he's shit going into the game so they don't see different.

 I'm pretty sure you can, Chelsea did with Aké a few years ago.

We was not allowed to use Barnes when he came back last season.  Also you can't put out of window clsuses in with English clubs.

You can probably promote say 4 from the u23’s plus Benko, so realistically that means we need nearer to 6/8 coming in and that will take some serious bedding in over a short pre-season.

Agreed, but not if you send them all out on loan as was suggested

Fair enough, anyway my main point was thati thought we'd have to cut back on the amount of loans we were sending out in the scenario presented

Move on:

Jakupovic - 2m/25k in wages

Fuchs - Free 40k In wages

Elder - 3m/10k in wages

Maguire 60mil/80k In wages

Simpson - Free 30k In wages

James - 5m/30k In wages

King - 5m/30k In wages

Silva - Swap/50k in wages

Kaputska 3m/15k in wages 

Okazaki - Free 35k In wages

Slimani - 10m 60k In wages

Iheanacho - Loan

 

Generates £88m/405k In wages

 

Bring In:

Left back one of:

Delph/Zinchenko/Jordan Lukaku £10/15m

Centre mid:

Tielemans - Swap plus £15mil

Elneny £10mil

Attacking midfield:

Nicolas Pepe - £40 mil or

Brais Mendez - £25 mil

Strikers:

Che Adams £15mil

Mitrovic £25mil

 

Cost £120m/£100m roughly £300k in wages. 

 

Main target for me would be Pepe but I know they’ll be an awful amount of competition for him.

Can see us losing Maguire but we already have plenty of competition there. 

Iheanacho needs a love move for me abroad somewhere hopefully get some goals under his belt. 

I cant see us losing either Chilwell or Maddison as both will have an eye on Euro 2020 & will want regular game time which is guaranteed with us.

6 In & 12 out.

 

Leaving us with a squad of:

goalkeepers:

Kasper, Ward & Youth Keeper

Left back:

chilly & new left back

Right back:

Ricardo & Amartey 

Centre back:

Wes, Evans, Benkovic, Soyuncu, Moore

Centre mid:

Tielemans, Elneny, Hamza, Mendy & Ndidi

Attacking Midfielders:

Gray, Barnes, Ghezzal, new signing, Maddison, Albrighton

Strikers:

Vards, Adams & Mitrovic

Thing is though the players that do need a year to adapt usually show some positive signs. 

 

We’re clutching at straws to say Ghezzal has shown anything to believe he will improve. A decent first half against Burnley in the number 10 role when we already have Maddison & Barnes who can play there.. Also a couple goals coming on as a sub... These are his only highlights.

 

Get rid, before we have to suffer more disappointment. 

Ghezzal was outstanding at home to Liverpool.

Strikers:

Che Adams £15mil

Hi Mate, 

 

Seeing as you know the club’s valuations and every player’s wages can you let us know what else is happening at the club about Puel?

 

Kind Regards

Maguire 60mil/80k In wages No way we sell Maguire for what we sold Mahrez, 50 million and I'd snap their hand off

Simpson - Free 30k In wages

James - 5m/30k In wages Nobody is buying James until they get proof he won't collapse after 5 games

King - 5m/30k In wages 

Silva - Swap/50k in wages

Kaputska 3m/15k in wages Doubtful, he's currently having trouble staying in the first team in the Belgian 2nd division

Okazaki - Free 35k In wages

Slimani - 10m 60k In wages He's on a two year loan

Iheanacho - Loan

 

Generates £88m/405k In wages

 

Bring In:

Left back one of:

Delph/Zinchenko/Jordan Lukaku £10/15m Neither Zinchenko nor Delph are natural left backs, and Jordan Lukaku is not good enough.  I'm sure we could find someone for 10 million though. 

Centre mid:

Tielemans - Swap plus £15mil Optimistic? 

Elneny £10mil This guy is not an improvement on Mendy, Ndidi, or Hamza playing the ball forward, which is what we need if we're signing ANOTHER CM

Attacking midfield:

Nicolas Pepe - £40 mil or No chance lol

Brais Mendez - £25 mil Why sign a 7th AM without selling at least 1?

Strikers:

Che Adams £15mil

Mitrovic £25mil

 

Cost £120m/£100m roughly £300k in wages.

Because I've nothing better to do, I've put my thoughts up there. Honestly, selling Maguire to fund getting essentially another attacking midfielder is not worth it if it means we keep Morgan, and don't sell an attacking mid anyway. You've forgotten Diabaté.

James has no value unless we convince West ham. 

 

£5m for King is amazing business or did you mean £5.00? Would still be good money for an out of contract player.

He’s proper rubbish now isn’t he?

Morgan was pretty much finished LAST season, let alone relying on him next season

We're not going to attract top players unless we finish strongly in our remaining games.

 

I'd worry about finishing off the games first with the right application and results.  Neither of which are convincing me enough that we'll attract the players in come the season end the way things are at the moment.

We won the league and ended up attacking much worse players than the season before where we were favs for relegation. :thumbdown:
