The Squad planning thread

Thing is that we can only loan 6 players so if we waste 4 for players who are going to move anyways then it’s better to loan out the ones with a future. All 4 need to go with number 2 and 4 being the hardest ( number 4 impossible)
homegrown and U21 players dont count to the 6. Half that list is fine
 
The problem with this HG rule is that we are an English club and, it would seem that English players can be unreliable whether that’s injuries, personal lives or adaptability to our systems. Stones Walker Grealish and Phillips.

If we didn’t have to buy them I doubt we would and to make matters worse they come at a premium!

That said our National team is rated the most valuable in the world on transfermarkt.

The price for homegrown players is always a problem considering they are for the most part technically worse that european and south american players?
 
New manager would want to sign a couple of his own players which would be different to Pep's ideas and would include Bernie's and Eddy's departure.
That defeats the whole point of a DOF where the manager doesn’t make any difference to the players signed and the style of football.
It’s a least 2 years away same as when we signed Haaland it was 2 years ago, and Pep had 2 years on his contract. Players will be sgned because we want them nobody is waiting 2 years just in case we are looking for a new manager in 2027
Its obvious with the addition of a right back plus the other 9 signings since January we will have a young squad that will hopefully be together a fair few years.
 
Looking down the line, of those on tour, I see the contracts of Dias (30), Foden (27), Rodri (30), Ake (32), Akanji (31), all expire at the end of June 2027. The dates are their respective ages in June 2027. Be interesting to see how Viana handles those contract discussions in the coming months.
