All Pep is saying there is the squad is currently full and we have to drop the deadwood first. We're expecting several peripheral squad departures including cancelo and phillips. If those 2 depart, we can bring in a player in each of the 2 positions we badly need strengthening, rodri cover and fullback, if we're including them in the squad then we're currently full.
Ederson, Ortega, carson (H) walker (H) gvardiol, Ake (H) stones (H) dias, akanji, cancelo, lewis (CT) rodri, Phillips, kovacic, kdb, foden (CT), bernardo, Nunes, Bobb (CT) mcatee (CT), savio, doku, grealish, Alvarez, Haaland.
That's our current full 25 man squad with all the homegrown (H) and club trained (CT) slots filled too. Phillips and grealish both also qualify for homegrown status but have to be registered in the free spots after the alloted 4 are taken already.
We cannot sign anybody else until the futures of the likes of cancelo and phillips have been resolved And this is ignoring returning loanee's like perrone, couto who we expect to be sold or loaned back out. We're not going to risk sitting on £90+ Million worth of players we cannot even register to use by signing their replacements and the vultures then swoop in low balling us knowing we have no alternative but to accept whatever scraps they offer.
