Lets break it down by area
Goalkeeper:
First choice is ok. Adrian likely to leave and in my opinion Kelleher should go on loan for more experience.
Backup keepee required
Defence:
Should have Gomez and VVD back next seasin. Kabak looks decent. We need a centre half on the level of Joe to come in fior me. Move Joel on, his injury record is a joke
I see most ex pros backing what I said a long long time ago Trent is too good a player for full back , and not a good enough defender. Move him to mid and sign a right full
Required, right full and centre half plus Kabak on a permanent
Midfield: 2 needed for me A replacement for Gini and Keita. Ideally one of the 2 is a creative type. Gravenberch and Rodrigo de Paul would be nice. Not sure if Id keep Ox or Milner at this point. But moving Trent here would mean only 1 needed
Required, 2 attack minded midfielders or move Trent
Forwards:
No doubt this will cause the most debate We have 4 exceptional forwards, but if we insist on criossing as we do we need to add someone that suits. I think we are crazy to think well payout for Haalznd or Mbappe but we neef omeone who can do tap ins or score from half chances
Required, 1 possibily 2 forwards who allow us change tactis in a game or impact of the bench
So thats 7 for me that need to come in with roughly the same going out
Adrian, Matip, Origi, minamino, Keita Gini, Ox with Kelleher and Neco going on loan and a ? over Millie
Each to their own mate, here's mine,
GK, Adrian sold, Kelleher promoted, Grabara loaned, maybe new face
Ok @ LB, but Tsimikas needs game time,
New quality RB to cover Trent, Neco sold, not of a standard we need
CB's Matip sold, Too many injuries, Konate brought in, Virgil & Joe mains, with back up/competition from Konate, Nat & Kabak, Williams loaned out,
Mids Outs- Ox, Shaq, Grujic, Mina,
Ins- Gravenberch, Odegaard, Raphiha, Bousouma
Fwd, Origi out, wouldn't mind Sancho or Jimenez come in
Milner retained, can't buy his experience nor his leadership, Naby in last chance saloon, there is a player in there somewhere, Henderson not under debate.
First phase of the rebuild, unlikely to get them all 😁, but we can live in hope!
