The Squad planning thread

my group of players to start the 2026/2027 season

Donnarumma 27
Trafford 23
Bettenili 34

Nunes 28
young right back -25
O'Reilly 21
Ait Nouri 25

Días 29
Khusanov 22
Gvardiol 24
Guehi 26
Reis 20

Nico Gonzalez 24
Anderson 23
Wharton 22
Tonali 26

Cherki 23
Foden 26

Semenyo 26
Doku 24
Savinho 22
Haaland 26

The Anderson + Wharton + Tonali project is expected to cost around £230 million.

The price of a right-back should be in the region of 30 to 50 million pounds sterling

expenses ≈ 280 million sterling

The players we should release:

Grealish 25M
Ake 15M
Akanji 15M
Kovacic 15M
Max alleyne 15M
Rico Lewis 20M
Reijnders 35M
Marmoush 60M
Rodri 60M
Bernardo 0
Stones 0
K Philips 0

≈260 million pounds sterling

This kid is going to be the big prospect from France moving this summer I think, if we are going for midfielders if Rodri and Bernardo leave, I think with Viana's past signings City will be going for him. He's got crazy potential only 18.

 
interesting that we are not looking at Stiller or something like that
His ball progression and passing is overstated imo. Unlike Wharton, his on the ball ability isn’t good enough for his lack of off the ball ability.

Sell Rodri are you crazy. Rico Lewis just signed a 5 year contract btw.

Wow! hadnt heard of him to be honest but 18??!
 
Anderson + Tonali+ Wharton midfield sounds disgusting (in a good way, for us)

two B2B midfielders and a pure distributor


sad, that we need to 2 players max to replace Rodri
Not for me, we need one to replace Bernardo and if Rodri does leave one to replace him, but a midfield of those 3 looks very one dimesional, compared to Rodri,Anderson, Cherki.
 
Because Nico G’s weaknesses are his on ball abilities, Anderson is great but he also isn’t a creator, Tonali is the weakest out of all of them. If you had Nico G Anderson Tonali you’ll win duels but we will struggle to create anything. We need a supreme technical controller. Nico G is like a Rice in a way. Just look at their stats and how they play.
To many options in different charts.

Anderson and Nico come out well in passing forward so perfect partner for a Rodri at the base so I don’t see how this even supports what you say about going for Wharton or Anderson not creating anything.

I’ve never known a 24 hours like it. Gets asked by Spanish media if he will one day return to Spain - so many willing to drive him themselves!! Crazy, utter madness.

I can see that this summer he gets a move to a Top club

Lille will ask 80mil+ tho

We should just get Perrone back he is excellent
 
No clue but I think we need an older player Nico G Anderson OR is good but a guy who’s done And won stuff

I know what you are saying but think a lot of those players are unattainable, not because we don’t have the pull just clubs aren’t letting them go.

Thankfully we still have a squad full of winners.

Donna, Dias, Ake, Kovacic, Haaland, Rodri, Foden, Nunes, Doku, Josko. Some have won the lot, a few not much in the grand scheme of things but they will.

Yea but Ake, Kova, Rodri, are gonna leave, you’ll be left with too many young players we’re rebuilding again after spending 500 mil on new players. I’m just trying to come up with ways to not make life after Pep and our core of Rodri Bernardo KDB etc so difficult.
