Well stay up comfortably and that is all that this season has to offer so focusing on the very important summer transfer window is very important.
So what do we need? Full backs with pace, defending and passing skills are one of the biggest urgencies in the squad imo
Then the fact Rice is going he needs to be replaced
A left sided forward/winger with pace and technique to link up with Scamacca and Bowen
Personally I would sell Soucek and replace him with a more technical centre midfielder, preferebly a proper box to box engine to play alongside the Rice replacement
Zouma is shot but we are probably stuck with him because no one will pay his wages so we another centre back is needed
Fabianski is 307 years old and needs replacing, if Areola aint capable a keeper must be signed
Looking at the above anything lower than 100 million NET spend next summer will not suffice
Bloody hell, the last one has only just shut!
Yes Dan but it is a relevant topic imo .
We’ve just had a rebuild of sorts along with all the reasons and excuses from Moyes as to how it hasn’t clicked yet.
Trouble is we are going to need another in the summer.
It will all depend on who the manager is obviously but I wouldn’t be giving Ogbonna , Cresswell or Fabianski new contracts .
They’ve all been good servants to the club in one way or another .
I’d be tempted to extend Fabianski for a year if I thought Areola would be first choice as , I think , would a new manager but Moyes would probably want them all around.
Upgraded RWB and LB required . 2 wide men and another quality CB or 2 as well as I reckon Zouma is fucked.
Rice is off so we probably need a central playmaker , I’m quietly confident Downes will be a quality DM .
It all depends on who the manager is going to be.
His favourites need flogging though not literally.
I’d sell Bowen and Soucek too.
Massive rebuild imo and I’m sure there’s other contract stuff I’ve forgotten too.
