We don’t need to replace 12 players
Kalinic —-No replacement
Heaton —Replacement—-Out of Contract
Guilbert —Kessler
ELM———Replacement —-Out of Contract
Taylor—-—Replacement——Out of Contract
Engels——Replacement
Hourihane—Sanson ————Out of Contract
Barkley——Replacement
El Ghazi——Replacement
Traore———Replacement
Davis———-Young
Wesley ——-Replacement
Vassilev——-Barry
I doubt Traore will be leaving so that’s 7.
We don’t miss 4 of those players already because they aren’t at the club and 4 of the others without contracts we need replacements, an obviously Barkley needs replacing.
If we bring in just 4 players I take it we keep Engels, El Ghazi, Wesley, Guilbert and perhaps sign Barkley Permanently ? If not we’re either going to be very thin or that 4 Max you say is definitely going up.
