We aren’t as thin as people think imo
We have some injuries currently but you don’t sign to cover injuries, thats how you overstock.
Squad:
GK: Ederson, Ortega (2 for 1)
DF: Walker, Lewis, Stones, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol, Ake (7 for 4)
MD/WG: Rodri, Kovacic, Nunes, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Foden, Grealish, Doku (8 for 5)
ST: Haaland, Alvarez (2 for 1)
19 players for a 18 man matchday squad.
So fully fit (unlikely but possible) and 1 of these is left at home.
Plus: Carson, Phillips, Gomez, McAtee, Bobb to fill in for injuries on the bench, cups and training
Thats a squad of 24 and really thats as big as it needs to be.
Selling Palmer is ok for squad size.
If McAtee also leaves thats also ok.
Phillips out for a genuine option and its perfect but equally we’re still good if we don’t.
