The Squad planning thread

[yellamcfc]

Hopefully Maresca has an idea of who he wants to keep and who should be told to find another club.

Reijnders, Nico Gonzalez, Kovacic, Rico etc in most of our opinions are not at the level required.

Three players I’d love to see here would be:
Anderson, MGW and Valverde (regardless of age).
The energy these guys would give us in midfield is incredible and would compete with PSG, Bayern and Barca’s midfield easily and be the best in the league.

Make it happen Hugo.

Anderson and MGW are very achievable and would improve us many fold.

I hope we just be aggressive and go for them. Big summer in terms of our intentions.

Said yesterday Everton have set a £70m price tag on him, maybe we could use Jack?

People moan about Savinhos end product will be in for a fun ride with Ndiaye especially at £70mil

Funny he is the one i wanted when we got Semenyo. A true winger on the opposite side of Doku.

I thought this boat had sailed.

He can’t finish and he’s 26. He should’ve gotten a hattrick against us and fluffed every chance.

I’d be all over Endrick if Madrid were willing to sell.

Absolute demon of a footballer and can play across the front line.

Can he play wide though. More of a striker who can manage as a 10. So a more talented Marmoush. We struggle with those. Alvarez, Marmoush, now links to Kroupi... I just don't see how we succeed with 2nd striker types. They never get enough game time and end up leaving or wanting to.

New era though, maybe Maresca has new plans

Still think Akliouche would be a smart buy. We could stick him out on the wings for a season, and once he’s acclimated to the physicality of the League, we could move him inside more to work with Cherki/Foden. We’ve some great wing talent coming through the academy, but they’re maybe a season or so away from challenging for first-team slots, so we should maybe think longer term and have a player to bridge.

Alan Nixon always spot on. Seems to be the plan if Marmoush goes.

They are getting Jack at about half the price of the option as well so imagine we are in good favour with them.

He can.

Endrick played RW often on his loan, and he is left footed.

If this was even remotely possible we should get him, Endrick will be a superstar player for sure.

But no chance Real Madrid sell him to us.
