The Squad planning thread

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
I have this revolving door of this player profile. We struck gold with Semenyo he is the back up 9 and can play on both wings. Get a winger that offered something completely different instead. Idk why we’d get Kroupi besides stopping Arsenal from getting stronger
 
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.
He’s is too good imo to bench regularly I’ve watched some clips of him at Lyon and he is … mind boggling similar to Yamal when he broke out obviously to a lesser extent still think he should stay in Ligue 1 in a physical league and then go to Spain i don’t think certain players should play in England this league is too demanding and there’s no space here
 
You are being overly generous. Saw him play against Genoa earlier this season and in almost 50 years of watching live games I have never seen anyone who looked so out of place.

We were watching him in the warmup - he couldn't hit the target to save his life. Unbelievably he got worse when the game started combining ineptitude with lazyness. The crowd were booing him. No idea how he stayed on the pitch. He scored a last minute equaliser when a deflected cross hit him on the head, wrongfooting the keeper and looped in to the corner of the net. He knew nothing about it.

Easily the most overrated player in the world
Really hope Arsenal get him

Foden and Cherki are very different 10s and would be suitable for different oppositions, Foden can also play deeper if needed,where Cherki is far more likely to be used wide right if needed than Foden is.
We need 6 midfielders,assuming 4 will be Rodri, Anderson,Cherki and Foden.That leaves Reijnders,Gonzalez and Kovacic. My guess is 2 of those go and we bring in one.Who that is from those linked no idea but would depend which ones leave.
Don’t see the point in Reijnders Nico G and Kova ship them out and bring in MGW/Mateus Fernandes and an experience player who’s technically gifted on the ball like Fabian Ruiz

I ‘d still like to see Gonzalez to stay another year, but thats not the point, until those 3 say they want to leave there is no just ship them out. As 2 of the 3 are at the world cup they is little chance they go anywhere for a while.

He wouldn't be on the bench for us, starting RW.
 
DM Anderson REPLACED RODRI this year or next
B/U RB Read or other REPLACED LEWIS well needed
B/U Keeper Charles or other REPLACE TRAFFORD hope he stays
Winger Ndiaye or other REPLACE SAVIO
1 x Rogers or Kroupi or Maza or MGW REPLACED Marmoush Reijndeers Bernie
CB Reis REPLACED John and Nath

I'll be interested this year, with a new manager, along with Viana, how they deal with all the younger players. We have the best part of a full team out on loan or coming through the academy.
Whatmuff, Reis, Bah, Simpson Pusey, Alleyne, Mfuni, Mukasa, Heskey, Mubama, Echeverri on loan last season along with our triumphant academy players.
Its a great position to be in but I wouldn't like to see them all sold off just to finance the arrival of other players.

You've just described our business model as most aren't making it with us.

Simpson Pusey seems to join Cologne on a permanent this week,
probably just below 8-9m (€ that is). Good business.

That is good. I think he was itching for a move anyway.
I'd like to hold on to Mubama but he is the England U21 regular centre forward and the best he could hope for is as a back up to Haaland.
I can see a lot of these " sell with buy back option" deals this summer.

Mfuni and Reis look top players but there are so many senior players in their way.
