Squad

For UEFA U21 players have to be at the club for 2 years to qualify for the b-list. So next year, 26/27. From what I remember, didn't look it up.

Think you might have to be registered in the country for 3 though. So gray would, bergvall wouldn't. As you wouldn't be "hg", so couldn't be "ct". (For the b list).

Not sure though.
 
So loans kicking in -> Phillips, Moore, Donley, Lankshear, Hall, likely Vuskovich

Son moved on, expect Gil, Solomon do not play part in plans

Current squad - Vic, Kinsky, Austin, Porro, Spence, Romero, Danso, VDV, Dragusin, Kota, Davies, Udogie, Paulinha, Biss, Gray, Sarr, Bantancur, Bergvall, Maddison, Deki, Wilson, Tel, Johnson, Kudus, Solanke, Richi, 26 players.

Think the defense and sitting midfield is fine, might be thin for first couple of weeks but once Dragusin & Kota are back will be ok.

Priority is the Maddison replacement, and any outgoing needs to be replaced

Personal view, don't think we are going to see much more than 2 incoming, I know people want a lot of changes but don't think we are going from 17th - top 4, need to stabilize, get system in place, then build for Frank.

If I was to guess
- Biss out, Maddison type replacement in
- Winger/CF if Richi goes (doesn't seem likely)
- RB/LB with a passing range (feels like we are very dependent on Porro's passing as part of new system
 
I’m sure these rules are with the best intentions, but aren’t they all a bit complicated!? Surely there should at least be some alignment between competitions?

There should be. But the prem clubs would have to vote on it winning by 2/3 majority.
Teams at the bottom won't vote for it. Their best academy players get nicked. They'd be at disadvantage. If they are promoted would probably have to sell players and promote academy. If they got relegated buy them back again and sell the academy players.
You'd have to get the efl to agree to it too.
 
Need to sell davies and bring in a hg defender otherwise we could struggle in the cl.
If we could sell bissouma and kulu bring in elliot and gallagher i'd be happy. Would sort out the cl squad.
Pl we're fine.

Blimey, that would be the biggest downgrade since Armstrong replaced Klinsmann!

Kulu is our best player, bar maybe Romero. And Gallagher is Sarr without the quality.

Kulu is good at what he does. Think eliot with game time could give better output. Gallagher and bissouma there isn't much in it just he's hg and both seem to be available.

Davies is HG for Europe and the prem
Everyone keeps in quoting old rules

Generally agree, would like to add that Bentancur might be going if his contract doesn't get extended and also possible that we do a couple more loans with option to purchase.

Also i'd swop out Davies with a 30 year old big and tough as nails English CB and great at winning headers, happy to sit on the bench until we really need him.

I'd be happy with both Kulu and Elliott competing, but Maddison would definitely be the one I'd ship out.

Palhinha has already replaced Biss. Gallagher would serve now purpose now apart from being a 6th choice bench warmer. Bergvall, Bentancur and Sarr are all well ahead of him for that role.

We've got 10 CBs. We need to swap Davies for a mobile, defensively solid, HG, LB. Like Mitchell.
