The Squad planning thread


Agreed. There’s a World Cup next year, Grealish will want to on that plane. He’s not playing for England if he’s not playing for us.

I think he’ll push for a move knowing that Pep isn’t playing him. It means he’ll have to adjust his wages accordingly and possibly look for some payoff.
 
contract to June 2027, turns 30 this year - who's buying? Anyway we've got Bobb & McAtee I suppose.

That's the question for me too. There's always more hungry younger players with potential who are miles cheaper overall.

I wonder a little why we don't utilise NYC a little more. I'm sure Phillips could do a job for them, and it could suit Jack too potentially (I know on his day he's too good for them, but he'd be able to be the main man again like at Villa).

Can't remember who it was on Twitter spoke about contract termination for Jack. Seems odd if he still has some resale value. If it's true, though, I could see it being an option from the club if they really have to shift him

Reports already out today, he's told friend hes probably moving this summer. City will to take a perm or loan to get him gone. Villa, Spurs, Napoli, Milan already mentioned etc

You know slavery was abolished a while back right?

In the context of his overall income including from off field sponsors I suppose wages are not going to be a big problem for him but will we letting him go for book value?

Spurs would be a good move for him with them being in champions league and Son not being a guaranteed starter now
 
what are the chances anyone new from EDS are promoted to Senior squad?

i would not be against Simpson-Pusey and Divine Mukasa getting some games
Full time? None. For easy cup draws? might see a couple from the U21s
 
Wonder if we are still keeping on eye on Veiga?
He was supposed to be the next thing before he went to Saudi. Still very young and I imagine he will want to go to a decent league soon.

seems to be looking for a move (after a quick google) Porto leading the chase. (Forest, Wolves and Newcastle in the article though)
 
Not the position the first two of those would want to play I suspect and the evidence supports that but I suppose there needs to be a way to get Omar & Erling playing effectively together.
I expect Omar LW to be given a free role once we bag a LB tbh. Cant see him starting much as #10 with the midfield shape looking like its gonna be
