Sadly similar to our CB's he has had huge injury issues and with Everton's new ownership not sure he will be going anywhere soon.

Txiki trying to setup an timed email to go out in the summer as we speak.Having watched Branthwaite again last night, I’m convinced he would be worth every penny of the 75mil required to replace anyone of our CBs that get through 90mins
Thing they leave him another year (unless someone bids early) and go back in 2026. He's one of the few HG players i can see on the list

At least 4 of which are done and need to be moved on, Branthwaite would be a direct replacement and a leader for the the next 10 yearsJust what we need. A 7th centre back. ;)

With Stones and Gonzalez we won't be looking for a Rodri back up. Think depending which of Kovacic, KDB, Bernardo go, (expecting Gundogan Walker Phillips and Nunes to be pretty much gone,)I don’t think we need a backup for Rodri next season I’d use Stones, I’ve been asking for him to play there for ages and he did well against Madrid, with his injury record I’d use him as back up and only play him when Rodri needs a rest, let him see his contract out and go for someone else the following season.
We'll want an 8 and and AM. Plus a full back to replace Walker. Then keepers apart think we'd be pretty much done.
We can always sit around until he rocks up at the rags and then ask why didn’t we buy him!Sadly similar to our CB's he has had huge injury issues and with Everton's new ownership not sure he will be going anywhere soon.

No chance we buy 2 AMs with Echeverri already joining and no CM/DM
He`ll go on loan imo mate and i think Kovacic stays for one more season.
CM/DM is still our biggest weakness, and Rodri, Nico and Kovacic wouldn’t be enough for 2 positions. Nunes, Gundo and Bernardo should all go. We need at least 1 more CM/DM, 2 if Kovacic goesHe`ll go on loan imo mate and i think Kovacic stays for one more season.

None of Gundogan,Nunes, Bernardo are DM s though, doubt there is enough room in the suqd to have a third DM on top of Gonzalez and Rodri. If those 3 and Kovacic all went it would be and 8 that can add a few goals that we'd be short of.CM/DM is still our biggest weakness, and Rodri, Nico and Kovacic wouldn’t be enough for 2 positions.

Rodri DM, Kovacic CM, not sure if Gonzalez will mostly play CM or DM when Rodri returns, which is why I said CM/DMNone of Gundogan,Nunes, Bernardo are DM s though, doubt there is enough room in the suqd to have a third DM on top of Gonzalez and Rodri.

At least 4? So everyone beside the 2 new guys ? Dias too?At least 4 of which are done and need to be moved on, Branthwaite would be a direct replacement and a leader for the the next 10 years
Possibly even Dias if we want to progress, his injury record is sadly becoming an issue, add Simpson Pusey to the list he is clearly not at our levelAt least 4? So everyone beside the 2 new guys ? Dias too?
I think the last few big games has shown Kovacic up, he goes for me if we can bring in someone like Ederson,Tonali or another, maybe even 2 CM players are needed.He`ll go on loan imo mate and i think Kovacic stays for one more season.

Ederson maybe or Valera who knows Nico extremely well.
We need some power and pace in there and a bit of a warrior, Fern style.Ederson maybe or Valera who knows Nico extremely well.

going to be busy last day of summer transfer window 4/5 signings
A young up and comer for one of the spots, similar in profile to Khusanov/Reis and one elite player.I know its a squad game but we need to keep everyone happy at the same time?
Dias will be the leader of the club, and a magnificent one at that.Possibly even Dias if we want to progress, his injury record is sadly becoming an issue, add Simpson Pusey to the list he is clearly not at our level
Dias has played when needed and put his body on the line for the cause.

Viana may have a young south american in mind? I`d prefer someone like Ederson but not sure we can keep Rodri, Nico and say Ederson or Valera happy in one squad? Nico O`Reilly deserves a go though surely?
