Who would you sell?
Sell ? If we could get buyers ?
Coufal
Ings
Paqueta
All our centre backs
Cresswell
Cornet
JWP
Antonio
With the exception of Paqueta and Antonio none of the above are good enough . These 2 , one has ambition the other is probably physically incapable of a starting berth though it wouldn’t break my heart if he became a bench option , useful income sub more than useful starter if we had depth to back him up .
I would try to keep Paqueta but I think he will force a move away and I would like to have Antonio here for another year but as a back up. JWP is a decent squad player and adds to the home grown quota so I wouldnt sell, I would also try to keep Coufal but rumours are he has rejected a contract bid. He is a decent squad player with a great attitude. Ben Johnson will go they say. I would give Mavropanos another season to adapt.
If Leeds wont go up we should try to sign their Dutch winger Summerwille, proper, PROPER talent he is and fast as a lightning!
Then we need to sign "home grown" players to fill the quota. So what English players can we sign that are good enough for us?
Our first eleven next year? (Fill the gaps
)
----‐-‐-----‐---‐---‐--‐------Areola
Walker-Peters - NewCB - NewCB - Emerson
---‐-----------------Alvarez - NewCM
Bowen--‐-------------Kudus----------Summerwille
-----‐-------‐-----‐--‐---NewST
(Assuming Paqueta forces a move away like I expect him to)
