The Squad planning thread

Delphinho said:
With 5 centre backs at the club, that’s a bit hard to understand. Can’t see why we should spend 100m on him. And no, he’s not a left back, he’s a left footed CB that has played there occasionally

Just guessing, but wonder if Laporte goes and he's the replacement.

Worst case we could be looking at signing 2 LBs, 2 CMs and a winger. Gonna be extremely expensive, can’t see us spending 100m on a CB on top of that

In my opinion, we won't buy a winger.
Grealish, Alvarez, Foden and Mahrez will fight for those positions.
A centre back who can 'play' left back and two midfielders would see us done if, as expected, Bernardo and Gundo both go.
If Gundo stays my guess is a one midfielder comes in.

Surely we need an actual left back other than Gomez no more CB at left back and still think a winger would be a good idea given that Grealish Foden Alvarez are not out and out wingers and Mahrez age and not a speedy winger.

Walker--Stones--Dias--Robinson
--------------Rodri------------
----Bellingham--Maddison----
---Foden---Haaland----Grealish-

Id be very happy with that.
 
The very same Robinson that doesn`t have a single goal or assist in 46 PL games while being an attacking fullback? He`s a mid-table club player, and every Fulham fan I`ve seen has said the same thing

I’m all for Maddison signing but he doesn’t come in and push KDB out, no one in world football does.

I haven't seen anything better out there.
 
Is it impossible to have the complete squad ?

We always seem to be 1/2 players short. Right now we seem to be short in defence & midfield. Have we ever actually sorted defence though
 
Kdb hasn’t been as bad as people are making out. Teams have decided he’s our only true creative spark and are paying him a ton of attention. We need others to step up to create space for him to work his magic he’s being man marked to death

I actually cannot believe what I'm looking at. You're honestly advocating replacing KDB with James fucking Maddison? And the best we can do at left back is Robinson? I just...no, I can't. That is not a CL winning team.

Yes it is impossible. Impossible to get form, fitness and results with a huge squad.

Nice bump!

Forget Sané. He's not coming back. Signing Gvardiol, Rice and Kovacic is more realistic, though. However, if Gundo stays, I don't think we'll sign Rice? Gnonto probably a possibility, but not that many links, are there?
As for Pavard, no thanks. If we're looking at Bayern players, Kimmich is the one we should aim for IMO.

Some links - we need 2 wingers if Mahrez, Bernardo and Palmer leave - plus Foden being used centrally - as has been reported.

Kimmich would be an incredible signing instead of Rice or Kovacic but Pavard would be decent value. Can play CB and RB, has a working relationship with Sané, has one year left on his deal, and could be used in a part exchange with Walker.

Reece James would be my first choice but I don’t think he’s available.

Calciomercato is a totally unreliable source. He is not a type of winger we are after, I believe. At any rate, I don't think he is good enough for us.
 
In longer term planning, we might struggle with a lack of full backs when pep leaves - probably in 2 years.
He is happy with no full backs but the next manager will probably want specialist full backs and we won't have any.
