I think we need a massive shake up for next season, we have about 4 or 5 world class players and the rest are not up to scratch IMO.
GK-Hart
RB- Zabaleta
LB- Ricardo Rodriguez (someone good defensively and offensively)
CB- Kompany
CB- Godin (possibly) I would promote Denayer and would not give Mangala another chance. The man has no football brain whatsoever.
DMC- Schneiderlin (gives a side a great balance defensively and offensively)
CM- Pogba (hopefully) Get rid of Yaya, his time has come.
CM- Koke (The man is an absolute engine, he is what we need, someone who can run the hard yards)
LW- Bale/Sterling/Reus (we have to aim for the best homegrown talents)
RW- Silva/De Bruyne (Free Role)
ST- Aguero
I would get rid of Dzeko and Jovetic and bring in someone like Lacazette, who can play on the last shoulder with plenty of pace. If we are looking to sell Yaya to Inter, i would think about trying to get Kovacic on the cheap, the kid could be an absolute megastar, all the makings of a potential world class talent.
To clarify who i would sell:
Dzeko
Clichy
Jovetic
Yaya
Mangala
Fernando
Sagna
Nasri
Time for a change and time to mix things up, the one thing our side lacks is pace on the counter attack. I personally feel that if we had raw pace on the counter, we would be a massive threat in Europe. Would also promote Lopes, Angelino for a few games and Brandon Barker when the time is right. Offer us different kind of options and for me could be good enough to make the grade. Would possibly think about bringing Karim Rekik back too as a squad player.
I would love Diego Simeone as manager as well. He gets the balance between defence and attack to absolute perfection.
Has anybody actually given a thought to HOW we could practically achieve this level of turnover of faces?
Sell them all first? Then get reamed a new one over the price of the replacements knowing that if we didn't pay the money then we would practically have no first team to start the season with
Or... Buy first and then what? Watch on as all that talent and investment disappears for the footballing equivalent of 50p and a bag of crisps with everybody knowing we had to sell to balance the books or not have a massive wage and squad problem.
There is a reason player turnover is done at the pace it is.
We are going to struggle to buy the first replacement at a sensible price now that pretty much every pundit has told the world that we HAVE to buy this window.
