It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

We can and should still win the PL, but even if we do we need to refresh the squad.

Out-
Sterling
Dinho
Zin
Gundogan- one of my favourites but he is not the player he use to be, we can do better.
Mahrez-If he is not willing to extend his contract

In-
Haaland
Alvarez
De Jong/ Bellingham
Nkunku
LEFT BACK!
We need quite a big revamp this next season, get 2 new or promote the youth in the full back areas. Promote and play Palmer.
Sell Gundo he's been great but past his best.
 
Recruitment needs to find the players that will settle in easily. Someone like Nkunku I don’t think would take a season. Like I said before, we can’t be afraid of squad refreshment when it’s badly needed. I don’t know how many other signs are needed
But again Nkuku is not a winger, kind of second striker and I think not fast enough.
 
I didn’t say to sign him as a winger
So, Haaland, Alvarez and then Nkuku? If we sold Sterling and Jesus, we need a winger more than another striker. I wanted to pick your brain about Anthony from Ajax and Abner vinicious as LB. What do you think about them?

Anthony is 100% yes. Guy’s a killer. Abner is a guy I like here, but I watched his team lose on Tuesday 5-0. Isn’t ready for a top PL team
 
I see there was panic in the disco last night on this thread. Lots of knee jerk reactions and a virtual wipe out of our entire squad....
Our team has been running on empty for a while now. No striker or recognised LB. Yet still we are in the fight for the league. Injuries to Diaz, Stones and Walker in the run-in have hit us hard and highlights our small squad deficiencies including carrying the likes of Grealish. But, next season we have already started to change the age profile with Alvarez and Haaland.
For me, Frenkie covers Fern and maybe Gundog or Silva if they leave. This leaves LB which is a specialist position, not a make do.
Any attackers leaving is already covered by incomings and youngsters ..

Our first 11 is magnificent but we also have major weaknesses, imbalances in the squad.

Midfield is in need of a refresh with few options and players getting older, we need some legs and athleticism there, long term Walker replacement/ back up.
 
It's time to get good money for Sterling, Jesus, Zin, Gundo and maybe Laporte. Get Haaland in, Gundo in part ex for Bellingham. Adding Alvarez is now a must. Then a dynamic left back is the missing piece of the puzzle.
We have to integrate Palmer more too.
 
IN top quality striker(hopefully Haaland). If Leeds drop I'd go after Phillips to replace fernandinho, and a solid left back that we've needed for 8 years!

OUT Sterling, Jesus( Love the kids work rate, but not the finisher we need.) Fernandinho(legend but the time has come). And the last one I will get slated for but, Cancelo if we got good money I'd let him go. Just feel he is either outrageously good, or equally outrageously poor.
