we only have a few first team players really for next season

                                    Pickford
Coleman          Holgate/keane/Mori         

Walcott       Davies/Gueye/siggy           

                            Tosun ??


cant believe how fucked our squad is...what are your views?

sorry for the crap layout.

[blargins]

Yeah, I'd sell a few, loan a few, and buy a few.

[Cereal Killer]

Burn them all, witches!!

[Thornton_19]

Hard to know what to do without a plan and vision in place.

[brap2]

I would say whether it’s in the summer or more gradual, you need to move a lot on, leaving the team like this:

Pickford
Robles

Coleman  Keane*  Other  Other
Other      Holgate   FM      Baines

Kenny

Gana   Davies
McCarthy Other

Walcott         Sigurdsson    Lookman
Vlasic            Other            Henry

Tosun
Other
DCL

That’s banking on keeping lookman, Henry & vlasic developing and tosun coming good.

*keane is absolute wank but I think he’s better than he’s showing.wouldnt be gutted if he went and we had two new cbs inside 12 months.

Are you considering Tom Davies as ‘other’, brap?

[brap2]

Are you considering Tom Davies as ‘other’, brap?

I’ve bloody deleted him, fixing now.

Edit: right fixed, yeah build the team around him imo.

Pickford, Coleman, Gana, Davies, Walcott, Sig are all guarantees for the next phase.

Likely Lookman, Tosun as well.

Outside of that, we need quality throughout the pitch and in depth.

Loan out Baningime, Dowell and Robinson again next year.

Sell/Release the rest.

[Goaljira]

And i've only got Davies as sub because of the amount of games he's already played at such a young age.

[eyesalwaysblue]

Coleman, Pickford, maybe Walcott if he hasn't reverted to type like, Sig....the rest just plant drugs on um..

[brap2]

And i've only got Davies as sub because of the amount of games he's already played at such a young age.

Worry about our cm’s in both our line ups pretty much what we have now which is nowhere near good enough. Truth is Davies will likely be sub/squad for a few years and we need a new, good cm ASAP

[Silas]

Pickford

Coleman Holgate Jags Baines

Walcott Gueye Davies Bolasie

Sigurddsson

Tosun

Would be my current 11 but Coleman, Jags and Baines all need to be squad players at best very soon.

I would like to think Klaassen, Calvert Lewin, Keane and Lookman will have big roles to play in the future but I wouldn't put money on it. We really need a centre back and creative midfielder desperately.

[Mayor Farnum]

Interesting that all have included Tosun but for me he looked nothing special again yesterday.

[brap2]

Didn’t see the game properly to be fair, I’ve more put him in under the assumption he comes good. He’s got more goodwill in the bank because he hasn’t had as much time to utterly disgrace himself as some of he others.

[Mayor Farnum]

Quite agree he deserves time but 27 million it just has another EFC fuck up written all over it.
