How many signings will we make?

[splinterdream]

It seems like there will be many spaces becoming vacant in the squad this summer with losing.

 

Matty James

Wes Morgan

Christian Fuchs

Cengiz Under

 

And we'll probably see the exit door for

 

Daniel Amartey

Hamza Choudray

Denis Praet

Sidney tavares 

 

So how many will we promote from the development and how many will we sign as the squad is becoming very small and its clear our lack of depth was a reason we suffered, how many do we need and in what positions? 

[VictorFox]

Think we’ll bring in 5 new players promote Dewsbury-Hall and potentially sowah as well 

[AKCJ]

Would like to think we'll give the squad a pretty sizeable reshuffle this summer. Too many of the bench players aren't good enough.

[moore_94]

I posted this in another thread last night but I can see this being our squad for next season
 

All new signings in bold

 

GK: Kasper, Ward, Jakupovic (new 1 year deal)/30+ year old free transfer

 

RB: Ricardo, Castagne

 

CB: Fofana, Soyuncu, Evans, NEW CB

 

LB: Thomas, Bertrand, Justin*

 

CDM: Ndidi, Mendy

 

CM: Tielemans, Maddison, Soumare, Dewsbury-Hall

 

RW: NEW RW (Loan with option/obligation to buy), Albrighton

 

LW: Barnes, Sowah

 

ST: Vardy, Nacho, Edouard

 

Out: Iversen (loan), Knight (sold), Amartey (loan/sold), Benkovic (loan/sold), Praet (sold), Choudhury (sold), Ghezzal (sold), Perez (loaned to a Spanish team, no one will buy him)

 

25 man squad sorted.

Hopefully 6 or 7.

I think we need at least 4 new attackers (2 wingers, 1 attacking midfielder and 1 striker)

1 defensive midfielder

1 LB

1 CB

 

 

Think this summer we will see some major changes to the squad.

 

[Guest Chocolate Teapot]

5 I reckon.

 

My predictions:

 

Soumare

Edouard

Bertrand 

Tarkowski (or Vestagaard)

Left footed right winger (pereira, trincao on loan, unknown)

 

And about 5 or 6 u23 players who might be able to make the step up.

[Ric Flair]

5 for the 1st team and another 5-6 in the academy.

May as well have just written +1 to mine.....🤣🤣🤣

[ARM1968]

4 max purchases unless we sell a major asset, then maybe 6. 

[Dr Marco]

I'd get :

1 CB, 1 CM, 1 RW, 1 CF

 

minimum

[Claudio Fannieri]

Minimum of 5 new signings for the first team and an influx of quality additions to the academy ranks 

[turlo]

Think we'll get 5. BRs recent preference to play a wing back and CM at CB when Evans and Fofana got injured has to be the end of Amartey. Would love us to get in a young CAM who could be an upgrade on Perez but dont see 6 signings happening or Perez being moved on. 

 

Striker, likely to be Edouard

RW ???

CDM/CM likely to be Soumare

LB - Squad player until JJ is back - Bertrand would be ideal 

CB - improvement on Amartey

 

[Scotch]

I agree with 5. 

 

Bertrand

Tarkowski

Soumare

Edouard

A winger on loan with option, possibly James or Trincao.

Sowah and KDH promoted to first team.

Soawh's pretty decent on FM

[filbertway]

In:

KDH back from loan

Soumare
Eduoard

Olise

David (sure he'll fancy joining his pal from Lille )

Literally any centre back that isn't a geriatric and can play football to a half decent standard
Trincao

Some sexy young talent that can play in the u23s and could do a job if called up on. Not some 25 year olds that have been playing league two football their whole career that will help Beaglehole's awful football win the 2nd tier.

Out:

Hamza

Amartey

Perez

Fuchs

Morgan

James

[Sankey93]

We haven’t got enough attackers that can score. We also haven’t got anyone who’s a ****! We’re too nice of a team. 
 

Perez 

Hamza

Amartey

Mendy 

 

They are need to be offloaded there not good enough. We need 5/6 players for the first team.

 

Soumare

Edouard

Winger 

AM

CB

[UniFox21]

Ideally we need 5 or 6. 

To echo everyone above: 

Edouard

Soumare

Bertrand/or other LB

A CB 

A RW

With KDH/Sowah coming in

 

That would give us more cover across the board.

[Muzzy_Larsson]

If no big exits then four.

 

Soumare

Edouard

Left footed right sided attacker

Left Back

[Happy Fox]

Any chance of signing Sima from Slavia Prague? he looked a great prospect and did very well against us.

Left Back

Madueke/Pereira

Szalai/Tark

 

They would do nicely

[lgfualol]

Perez isnt going anywhere and probs has an appearance clause next season too.

 

I think 4. Bertrand, Soumare, Celtic bloke and a RW, maybe Pereira. Woth Sowah and KDH added to squad, I hope we'll have depth for once.

What a way to endear him to our supporters, hope he isn't reading

It will take me a month or two to spell his name right, for now he is Celtic Bloke

I hadn't even considered that. Well played 

[lee7]

If we are going to persist with two strikers up front then i would like to see us bring in two more out and out strikers, maybe someone who offers a more physical threat upfront that could provide us with an alternative. If Vardy or Iheanacho get injured then we are relying on Perez who poses no attacking threat at all. 

 

Also...

CM

CB
