It's Quiet 32 - enter at own risk

De Ligt
Rhodri
Bruno Fernandes


New contract for Leroy and keep Danilo would be a fantastic window and upgrade on the squad.

 

[TonyM]

3 foreign GKs (Ederson, Muric, Steffen)
+
5 Foreign Defenders (Danilo, Otamendi, LaPorte, Mendy, Zinchenko)
+
5 Foreign Midfielders (Gundogan, Fernandinho, DeBryune, Silva, Bernardo)
+
4 Foreign Attackers (Sané, Aguero, Jesus, Mahrez)

=
17 Foreign players

So can’t sign any foreigners unless a player leaves.

If twas me I’d get ...
Felix for Silva (love him but he’s getting on) and
DeLight for Otamendi (like him too but want to look to the future)
Someone better than Mendy
Someone better than Mahrez

Muric counts as home grown I think.

I wonder if with steffon coming in (work permit permitting) if muric gets sold for decent money and grimshaw becomes the number 3 keeper? In this market surely muric is worth £10-15m?

Muric also under 21

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

He will probably go out on loan as he did last year. Recalled when Bravo got injured

 

[nmc]

If he goes to Liverpool what happens to Gomez? He was having a brilliant season before his injury. Not sure he'd be happy playing second fiddle to De Ligt

Gomez position would be the same as Stones position with us.

Would Zinky not be classed as home grown along with Muric?

Interesting post though as I can see why we would go for maguire ahead of de light

I’d be surprised if either Muric or Zinchenko were not counted as foreign but I may be wrong.

 

[Delphinho]

Muric would count as homegrown. Rodri or another DM would take his foreign spot. If we get another CB he would probably replace Otamendi
