Summer Transfers

[MCFC1993]

We need 4 players in my opinion (assuming Sane goes) and then any player replacements:
CB
LB
CM
Sane Replacement

We could potentially get rid of quite a few players.

And that's before an FFP rule breaking decision.

Big summer ahead with so little time.

We could potentially get rid of Cancelo, Mendy, Both of Stones and Otamendi, Sane, D.Silva moving on.

And that's before an FFP rule breaking decision.

think the problem will be shifting these players. Otamendi is going to be impossible to move out. Our foreign quota is full. Who foreign with the exception of bravo is leaving, that you’d hang your hat on leaving.

Silva for sure - and I'd hang my hat on Sane leaving too. That's three spots straight off.

I also wouldn't be surprised to see either of Zinchenko or Cancelo go this summer.

I think we could have a few foreign spots to play with.

Cancelo going would mean a replacement. Zinchenko going could mean Chiwell coming in which would be 4.
But bravo is probably going to be replaced by a foreigner, thats 3.
Aouar is 2.
Koulibaly coming in would surely mean someone is going as surely to god we won’t have six CB options next year (Laporte, Koulibaly, Garcia, Otamendi, stones and Fernandinho(who is strictly playing CB from now on apparently).
sane being replaced means we’d have 1 or 0 spots left.

 

[Easy]

Just a heads up, if we sell a lot of players and sign a bunch of new ones, the squad would be temporarily unsettled (as in how they play, not morale wise) adjusting to new players and those new players would need time to settle. If you're willing to look past next season then it's fine but wholesale changes won't bring in immediate results.

that’s a good point but don’t see us having a £250m window. Just CB, LB, then either a winger or midfielder plus a back up goal keeper. Shouldn’t disrupt the squad imo

Otamendi and Bravo I don't think it matters if we recoup anything for them. Steffan and Garcia come in, I know Garcia is there already but he looks ready now, yet he doesn't take a squad spot up. So that frees up a space for Koulibaly or someone similar.

The rest we'll want something for but I reckon we could be looking at a £200m outlay.

Yeah. I don't actually think the club has any interest in wholesale changes, it'll be small scale like you say. Enough to pick up the quality and add a competitive feel.

My post was more for those suggesting we get boot of all of the likes of Otamendi, Mendy, Stones, Cancelo, Gundogan, Zinchenko, Sterling and even Fernandinho on top of Silva and Bravo already going and most likely Sané too. That'd be impractical.

Koulibaly
Alaba
Aouar
Havertz
Clean sweep with every competition next year.

 

[Tb1981]

I can see maybe a swap with stones and aubamayang
They would have stones and we need pace
Only a year left in his deal maybe 10m to sweeten the deal?
