The Squad planning thread

Id be surprised if kdb signs on. He will leave next summer on a free to Saudi for huge money and good luck to him.
 
To have a better insight, here are player's minutes of last season
and my own scenario of this season 2024/25 (in the box).

I assumed 67 matches (split up on the right side).

Some might play less, most more than last season.
You might disagree here and there.
It will give a better assessment if we need more players
or if our kids would not get enough in that case.

Have a look:

It might be useful to make a separate projection if we get knocked out of cup games early.
 
First team squad:

Ins:
Savio
Gundogan (pending)
McAtee , O’Reilly promoted from EDS

Outs:
Alvarez
Gomez
Bobb (4 month injury)

One more addition in and I’d call it an impressive window. I think it’s gonna be a back-up striker. I would go Duran.

Looks like we need a CB above all else.

Right, but I mainly wanted to contribute something to the transfer debate "we need 1/2/3 or none at all" that seems to be just be a matter of feeling - which in reality of course it's not.

I guess I will be there again next time in a transfer window... ;)
 
Letting Wilson-Esbrand take some minutes at left back would solve that defender depth issue I reckon.
We need to let someone else go in midfield though. With İlkay coming back we'll have 9 players (Rodri, Kova, Gundo, Nunes, Bernardo, O'Reilly, McAtee, de Bruyne and Foden) fighting for just 3 spaces in the team, with players like Lewis, Grealish and Bobb who can also play there. If we can find a transfer or loan for Nunes would make the most sense IMO, otherwise McAtee and O'Reilly will get next to no minutes and Foden and/or Bernardo Silva will be stuck out wide for another year.

Josh Wilson-Esbrand (loan return)
İlkay Gündoğan
Nico O'Reilly (promoted)
James McAtee (loan return)
Savinho
