Good to see your still alive and still sucking in and blowing out....lol As clear as mud to me. Where will Stones fit in as that seems tied on to happen?

Denayer's eligible for the B list which is the list of under 21s who have been with the club for more than two yearsHow does Kompany's fitness issue affect the equation? If he breaks down again after the list is submitted what is the fallback position? Where does Denayer fit into that, if at all?
If we sign Bonucci (for Mangala), Peres (for Zaba), Stones (for Kolorov I guess), Kroos (for either Yaya, Fernando or Nasri) and Sane (for Navas)....and drop Delph as there's no longer any room due to Stones........ then we'll have ....
- 2 keepers for 1 position (obviously)
- 7 defenders for 4 positions (Kompany Otamendi Sagna Bonucci Peres Clichy Stones)
- 5 midfielders for 3 positions (Gundogan Fernandinho Kroos Nasri Yaya)
- 7 attackers for 3 positions (Nolito Aguero Iheanacho Sane KDB Silva Sterling)
If Kroos was for Fernando then we'd need to pull a defender into midfield sometimes, if he's for Yaya or Nasri we loose depth in terms of players that can control the tempo.
Even with all those signings there's a lack of adaptability imo. Attackers or defenders who can confidently slot into CM. So our first 11 would be great but we'd not have the depth that we crave for later in the season.
Just musings - don't take my head off. :-)
(P.S. I wanted to keep Navas in there as a Wingback and couldn't find space; and I couldn't fit Zinchenko in. we need some U21s breaking into the squad asap imo)

Does anyone know if the seeding for the playoff round determins whether we are home or away first, or could it be either?

Either another foreign spot is lost or an association spot goes. eg If we are getting a new number 1 foreign keeper, then I would suggest he wouldtake Harts position. In peps interview he did say transfers in were dependant on moving some players.

I don't know how they decide it, but it isn't pre-determined. I believe 2 seeded clubs were at home last year for the first leg, and three away.
Basically we wont know until the draw.

I've always thought that the clear out would only happen in the final week of the window, after the CL qualifiers. Some players may be deemed surplus to requirements but because of injuries, late arrivals etc we may need them to at least occupy bench spots for the qualifiers.
