ST: Haaland & MarmoushRealisticallly the unhappy players from that list are going to be McAtee, Grealish and Nunes. Seems pretty clear that they are going to have to leave in the near future. Plus, KDB is obviously leaving too.
Bobb and Savinho are competing for RW,
Doku and Grealish are temporarily competing for LW, with Grealish on the chopping block in the summer and ideally a new left winger signed that allows Doku to be a rotation player.
KDB to compete with Foden and Marmoush in the short term, before leaving in the summer and a creative midfielder being signed (maybe someone like Baena)
I think that pretty much sums up the plan of action in the forward areas.
To complete the rebuild, Grealish, KDB and Nunes HAVE to leave imo. McAtee is one that we’d love to keep longer but it just seems unrealistic to expect it.
With those departures, a big-hitter left winger and creative midfielder both to join in the summer.
Then for the 4 positions we’d have this:
ST: Haaland & Marmoush
LW: New signing & Doku
RW: Bobb & Savinho
Attacking midfielder: Foden & New signing
Bearing in mind that most of these players are versatile, it is perfect and full of youth.
Don’t forget Etcheverrie. He could take the left wing slot. He looks amazing from the video clips I have watched.Realisticallly the unhappy players from that list are going to be McAtee, Grealish and Nunes.

Think he’s more of a central player. Not got the pace to be a winger. I know Jack’s played there for years but as we know his game has just become keeping the ball.Don’t forget Etcheverrie. He could take the left wing slot. He looks amazing from the video clips I have watched.
Thanks for the heads up Craig. However I would imagine all of our forward players will be trained and expected to fill all 3 attacking forwards places. Certainly from what I have seen Etchy looks a real prospect.Think he’s more of a central player. Not got the pace to be a winger. I know Jack’s played there for years but as we know his game has just become keeping the ball.
Think depending on the future of Grealish and Bernado we will see them both alongside Foden and McAtee rotate between central and wide minutes.ST: Haaland & Marmoush
LW: Savinho & Doku
RW: Bobb & New signing
Attacking midfielder: Foden & McAtee
I remember thinking the same thing about Samaras.Don’t forget Etcheverrie. He could take the left wing slot. He looks amazing from the video clips I have watched.
