One Bloody Number
A lot of talk in the transfer thread surrounding the size of the squad, the quality of the squad and how many signings are needed, so thought I'd start this thread to open up a bit of debate.
For me we currently have a squad of 21 players.... based on some massive assumptions such as
We WILL sign Mings, El Ghazi and Hause on permanent deals.
We WILL sell or release McCormack, Tshibola, Gardner (swap for Jota), Hogan, Barney plus 1 of the 4 keepers.
So that leaves us with
Steer
2 of Nyland, Kalanic, Sarkic
Elmo
Chester
Mings
Hause
Taylor
Guilbert
McGinn
Jota
Grealish
Green
El Ghazi
Lansbury
Hourihane
Doyle-Hayes
O'Hare
Davis
RHM
Kodjia
Given that, I think we need another 5/6 players to give us a 22/23 man senior squad plus 4 kids such as JDH, O'Hare, RHM and Davis.
Main focus has to be in attack as that 4 there does not look anywhere near premier League ready.
Also a DM is obviously a must, plus a left back and possibly a RB.
Finally a Right Winger is needed following the release of Adomah and the fact Green is miles off.
What's everyone else's view? Agree? Disagree?
Would you rip it up even more or hold on to some of the players I've got rid of in my head?
