How do we want the squad to look like when we begin the next season?
Something like this for me:
seems to leave
Richards
Lescott
Jack Rodwell
Barry
Scott Sinclair
could go
Clichy
Kolarov
Nastasic
Javi Garcia
Pantilimon
Nasri?
Milner?
Have a feeling that at least 1 of our 4 strikers will go, could be any one of them. Dont think Aguero but would be if Barca or Real went all in for him then maybe..
Players that could come:
Bruno Zuculini
Mangala
Fernando
Moreno
Muniain
Sagna
Isco
I preefer to keep as much as possible from this team, I want Clichy and kolarov to stay. Mangala in for Lescott and Sagna in for Richards then defence is done.
In midfield I hope that Marcos Lopes get a bigger role, and Muniain or Isco would be a fantastic signing. Before the last 2 months I would be hoping for Javi Garcia to leave but not sure any more, But if we have Fernandinho, Fernando and Yaya and maybe Bruno Zuculini as a youngster it look very solid, then Garcia could leave.
The big question is how we handle the number of home grown players for next season?
Hart
New English number 2 goalie
Left back
Kolarov
Clichy
Centre back
Kompany
Mangala
Demicheles
Nastasic
Right Back
Zaba
Sagna
Central Mid
Yaya
Fernandinho
Fernando
Bruno Zuculini
Attacking midfielders
Silva
Nasri
Navas
Milner
Marcos Lopes
Muniain
FW
Aguero
Negredo
Dzeko
Jovetic
But have a feeling one forward will leave.
What do you say lads?
Two players in every position, we may just be able to do this within the transfer cap restraints:
----------------------------------------- Hart | Pants -------------------------------------------------------
Zab | Sagna ------ Kompany | DM ------- Benatia | Nasti ------- Clichy | Kolarov
------------------- Yaya | Fernando ---------------- Fernandinho | Fabregas --------------------
Nasri | Navas----------------------------------------------------------------------- Silva | Milner
---------------------------------------- Aguero | Jovetic ----------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------- Dzeko | Negredo --------------------------------------------------
Keep Rodwell in the mix as still think he has massive potential if he can put injuries behind him, very athletic, quick and something tells me he should suit our style of play.
Also in Lopez, Boyata
Sell Richards (do NOT let Liverpool have him on the cheap) - £10m
Sell Garcia - £12m
Add the above to the £49m net transfer cap and hopefully we have in the region of £70m to spend
Fernando - £15m
Benatia - £20m
Sagna - Free
Fabregas - £30m and bonus as he's homegrown!!!
All values are guesstimates so please don't take the piss!!!!!
