We seemed to manage just fine today with Gana and to an extent Garner providing some defensive stability and Ndiaye and Alcaraz ahead.
We don’t need limited players like Doucoure we need proper all round footballers who have more than one aspect to their game. Previous Message
We need at least one backup/competition for Pickford.
-- Yup it will happen
We only have Patterson at RB and Myko at LB. Although O'Brien can fill in, leaving us only 2 centre halves if Keane goes.
-- Patterson can go, we'll sign one, use Jake and Roman Dixon, and Garner at a push
-- Keane I think is staying, new deal agreed. We do need ot add a left back. Myko has been sound lately though.
Midfield - do we need another option or are Iroegbunam and Armstrong first team ready? Am assuming Gana stays.....otherwise...gulp.
-- need 1 or two here for sure
Alcaraz must be signed.
-- Agreed
We surely need to replace Doucoure too? And Harrison.
-- McNeil, Ndiaye, Alcaraz can cover left and centre, do need at least one right midfielder / winger
Then if DCL goes, along with Broja we are left with Beto plus Chermiti who probably needs a loan.
-- We are after a striker, Beto will stay put, Moyes likes him, dunno about DCL
Who is in charge of transfers since Thelwell left? Has groundwork been done on all these positions?
-- no they've been sat on their hands for 6 months...
And can we even spend before 1/7 due to PSR? Do we need to sell someone before that date? When does Alcaraz clause expire?
-- Probably not before end of June, but we can certainly spend after that. The refinancing has saved us a fortune since December, and finishing 13th helps. I doubt we need to panic sell.
Back up keeper
Right Back
Left Back
Centre Mid
Right Wing
Striker
+ a couple of general of squad additions
I can imagine 4 or 5 in, with another 2-4 loans
not crazy
If Idrissa goes, thats a difficult one, although even if he stays we should be signing his replacement
