I think the focus this summer should be on trying to shift as many as possible of the group of late twenties / early thirties players on big wages. Namely:
Coleman Mirallas Bolasie Walcott Schneiderlin Sigurdsson Gueye Tosun Niasse McCarthy
There is a huge amount of wages tied up there and hopefully still some value in transfer fees. What is really shocking is how many of those players have been bought over the last couple of seasons, we really have created our own problem.
Historically, we have held on to players far too long and allowed their value to erode and their ability to decline. These players need to be moved on now and replaced with players 25 and younger (as was the strategy this last summer). This squad needs a thorough rebuild and for me that is the way to do it, easier said than done I know.
