Next seasons squad

very similar thoughts, you and I
further i think we will sell richy back to everton; back to daddy moyes
we definitely raid relegation clubs as usual. i don't know why we don't buy players in clubs in the top 10 - stadium hasn't changed much for us, we need to stop scraping the bottom of the barrel and rely less on speculating on youths.
I think RDZ likes Richy …. Just a gut feel thing
 
Yes , Romero will be sold as he is a liability. 2 send offs per season and 2 injury spells is his norm. VdV hasnt been great this season, but was very good at Villa last week. I can see both going .
We have Vuscovic on the books, and Danso has been excellent. Takai,who nows how he will turn out.? Dragussin seemingly wants out.
Forgot about Takai

Played 339 minutes this season. Basically 3.5 games
 
regardless, we need a new creater and striker at the very least imo. Players of at least top 10 epl quality and experience, while we assess the recovering walking wounded
 
Sarr will go too
I think we don’t need to keep the squad and actually need to really rationalise it
I fully agree we need to look at the youth, it’s been I left too much imo
Lankshear is a year away from exploding imo like Kane did. He would benefit of some time here with the first team over a season
Moores loans has done really well and I’m not sure where to send him next if not here
I’m a big fan of Donley but not convinced he will get the game time here, but he will suit RDZ football
Devine I really like and cannot fathom how he hasnt been given first team time here. His attitude is top drawer and he carries the ball really well. My nephew has been working at derby and scored for them too and the scouts and analysts he knows at other clubs all really rate him very very highly
Philips could really be anything again, if given opportunities
We also have lads who have been at lower leverage and generally thrived
I guess it comes down to the DOF strategy and RDZ
Not to mention Yang and Takai.

Plus you have to believe Vuskovic will be our 3rd or 4th string CB next season too.
 
With no PL experience RDZ may see that as too much of a risk. He could well grow into a starter during the season but I’d be surprised if starts the first game.

If we signed that guy during the summer for £60M nobody would be talking like this. Which is what it would cost if Hamburg owned him.

If we get relegated and are forced to sell Bayern, Barcelona etc want him. He will go and start for them. But yeh let’s stick with Kevin Danso!

My point was about how I think RDZ will see him.

Judging from his team selection (Bents, Biss and Paulinho over Gray, Bergvall etc) I expect him to phase Vuskovic in rather than throw him in the deep end straight away, that’s all.

None of them are considered the best young player in their position in the world.
 
If we sell both, very possibly.

But I think RDZ will want to keep at least one of Cuti or VdV. He didn’t join us to start a complete rebuild…he’ll want to be competing for a CL spot next season. And then build further the following one.

As I said above, this is what I think RDZ will want. I fully expect Vuskovic to prove a valuable starter by the end of next season but I believe RDZ will want to phase him in during the season, partly to protect Vuskovic from the media hype, but also to begin the season with an experienced CB pairing to minimize the risk of inexperience in a new league.
