we are not a club who can "develop young talent" we need to win every game so we need to put out teams of equal standing to our competition .
How many of thoday team would get into a top four team right now Ali ? who else they are all way off their best so th elast thing we need is kids looking to develop which we did with Jones,Elliot and Carvhalo . This is still the core of the 18'19 19/20 team maybe they have given all they have to give
Major changes are needed. I just don't know how Jürgen will do it. Yes the likes of keita, chamberlain, Jimmy and Bob will all go come the summer and imo Jones and Philips should follow them out the door also. But those 6 players, 4 leaving for nothing and maybe on a good day we get 25m combined for Jones and Philips though I doubt we will get that, won't bring anywhere near enough in to replace them.
The fresher blood, Jota, Diaz, Darwin, ramsay, konate, thiago etc etc are all unavailable.
I don't think we will qualify for the CL next season ... and with no assets to sell to raise spending money no CL will hit us very hard.
