Next seasons squad

I am very concerned by the fact that we are seriously linked to Robertson who has just left Liverpool. He spent most of the season on the bench, so why the heck are we interested in him? He is simply not good enough for us.
You see nothing has changed, and it also helps that we will get him on a free. He either gets injured as soon as he starts or he gets skinned on multiply occasions. May pop up and do something helpful in a few games. But I bet the plan is keep Destiny, and when he drops play Robertson. and when he drops, Souza may get a start.....I am already annoyed and its not even happened
 
£30m for Richarlison? No chance, he has just a year left on his contract.

I doubt Wharton will come to us with both Manchester sides sniffing around.

Robertson? Based on last season is he better than Davies???

I do not know enough about Kroupi and Fernandez to comment.
Obviously ball park figures.

Everton apparently interested in him … perhaps we could do a player swap plus cash.

Of course Wharton would be difficult but I want to believe that the owners would stump up the money like Arsenal went al in for Rice, when both Manchester clubs were in for him. I think with pep going Emirates Marketing Project are an uncertainty. United are looking at Ederson currently in Italy. City after Anderson.

We need that level of player though I guess is my point of view.
 
Whoever manager is, they should have been slowly bedded in. The fact we were relying on them so often is a disgrace. What other team has teenagers in the middle or at the back when a team is freefalling/.
To be fair both players have been exceptional for what they have gone through. Next year I would have no problem if they start or are on the bench in a rotation.

We really threw them under the bus, especially young Archie.

I think they will both be excellent in a stable team under RDZ.
 
We need some serious clear out.

championship manager anyone?

Out:
Vicario £35m
Romero £50m
Dragusin £25m
Richarilson £30m
Solanke £30m
Bissouma Free
Davies Coaching role if he wants it

In:
Kroupi (£40m plus Solanke)
Senesi (Free)
Robertson (Free, just replaces Davies for experience)
Wharton £80m
Fernandez from Wham £65m
Paulinha £25m
Defender & GK

Would like to see Lankshear, and other academy players bled in.
I will be more amazed if we fixed the LW and RW and a striker position in the summer, let alone get any of what you listed done in 5 windows. Look how long they took to get a LB. and i still don't think its sorted

I want to believe the owners have had a cobra meeting and realise that they are a shambles and cannot afford to relive this season again.

I want to believe that they will see how Arsenal backed Arteta and follow suite. But I know as well as you how this story goes …

Yeh they have been under the conditions but we shouldn't have been using them so often. It has given them character and a big lesson I guess, but also part of the reason we were struggling. They have shown more drive and effort than some of the elders.

Hopefully the harsh lessons of this season gives them character and a real spring board to showcase their abilities in abundance
 
GK: New / Kinsky
RB: Porro / Spence
LB: Udogie / Souza / Roberston
CBs: Danso / VDV / Senesi / Phillips / New
DMs: Palhinha / Gallagher / Bentancur / Gray
CMs: Maddison / New / Simons in 2027
RM: Kudus / Kulu (assuming he recovers) / New
LM: Tel / Odobert / New
CF: Solanke / New / Lankshire

Premiership loans for Bergvall, Mikey and extension + Hamburg loan for Vuskovic....
 
This Robertson link is irking me. Liverpool don't want him, why should we? He's done, over the hill. We have Udogie, Souza, Davies, Spence if needs be. We're not a retirement home.

We do need some leadership, apparently it's a 2 year contract and Udogie is injured quite a lot. I think the 2 of them should be enough with no Europe next season and Udogie could learn a lot from him. Souza probably goes on loan and Davies will leave or go into coaching.
 
I’m interested to know DZB’s plans for Bergvall and Gray. Neither of whom has had significant playing time recently. It might be that De Zerbi wanted more experience and that’s understandable.

I think he went for experience to start which was sensible, I'm sure I read that he said Gray could be a future captain and he trusted him yesterday. I expect both will get plenty of game time next season.
 
I'd go something like:

GK: Kinsky / Dubravka / Austin
RB: Porro / Spence
LB: Udogie / Souza
CBs: Romero / VDV / Danso / Vuskovic
CMs: Stiller / Bentancur / Sarr / Gray / Bergvall
AMs: Scott / Devine
RM: Kudus / Kulusevski
LM: Vinicius Jr / Tel / Moore
CF: Osimhen / Lankshear

Injured: Simons, Odobert

Sell: Vicario, Dragusin, Gallagher, Maddison, Solanke, Richarlison, Solomon, Scarlett, Dorrington, Takai, Yang, Veliz

Loan: Philips, Abbott, Donley

Is there another Vinicius Jr that no one knows about? Really can’t see the one at Real Madrid joining us.

Mourinho will have him out the door the second he arrives. There's the mutual dislike from the racism stuff too. We need to make one or two of these level signings up top to push back up into the top half.
