Pretty much this mate.
Just hoping we can keep hold of both (extend) Richy and Pickford as they are the two I worry about bring able to get close to that quality.

Just hoping we can keep hold of both (extend) Richy and Pickford as they are the two I worry about bring able to get close to that quality.
My issue is, everybody has these lists of people they want to offload and I have a list myself.
But, if you consider that this squad is what we currently "start" with :
Goalkeepers
Jordan Pickford
Asmir Begović
Right Backs
Séamus Coleman
Nathan Patterson
Left Backs
Vitaliy Mykolenko
Nkounkou
Centre Backs
Yerry Mina
Michael Keane
Mason Holgate
Ben Godfrey
Jarrad Branthwaite
Midfield
Allan
Dele Alli
André Gomes
Abdoulaye Doucouré
Tom Davies
Wide Forwards
Richarlison
Andros Townsend
Demarai Gray
Anthony Gordon
Alex Iwobi
Strikers
Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Salomón Rondón
When you're saying that you wanna shift Keane, Gomes, Allan, Mina, Holgate to name a few, they will all need replacing and I dont know if we get enough money to replace them.
So then you're looking at selling a jewel in the shape of Richarlison or DCL, potentially both.
I dunno man, I dont envy dealing with that minefield.

We can want to shift lots of players, but ultimately you need to work with the manager. Holgate will not be on mega money, and has done ok under Lampard, so little point in him going. Allan if a bid comes in maybe, but again appears a leader behind the scenes.
I cant see anybody bidding for Mina, so he probably sees his contract out, and we re evaluate next season. Hopefully Keane to West Ham might happen.
We are not going to be selling 3 of our 4 fit centre backs though. It's not realistic in my opinion. There will be some players who are on a transition with us.

Think it's almost a given we sell DCL or Richy, be surprised if both went but not shocked, think out the two DCL is the one Lampard would get rid off if it was a choice between them, likely fetch more and massively better in terms of how it works on FPP selling him over Richy.
Gomes I'd say is guaranteed out mate, most likely on loan as wages and whose paying a decent fee in reality for him. I think we can sell Keane, Holgate I think Lampard likes and young enough still to improve with better coaching. Mina it's all about if they can get his fitness sorted somehow.
Some of our positions are pretty decent now, fullback if patterson beds in with a proper off season, the young lb lad returning from loan, keeper sorted too with begovic an ok backup.
Midfield is the mess really where we need serious improvement in. As well as a cb and another forward.
If we spend well (DCL money) and use the loan market well, well that's the big question mark

Guess the hope is that Braithwaite improves, one or two young lads step up to the first team in the manner Gordon has - Dobbin etc.
He's already turned around a couple that most would have been happy to see out the door, Iwobi, Holgate the obvious two, hopefully Godfrey gets back to how he looked before COVID and Alli starts getting back to half the player he was

The midfield desparately needs sorting regardless. Anyone else would be one in one out. The squad has shown in games under Lampard it wasn't as bad as 1 win in 15 or whatever it was but it still needs improving
He'll want a pay rise.
We can't give a pay rise to someone who's already on £100k p/w but misses 20 games per season due to injury.
We should sell him this summer. I won't deny that he's usually our best defender when he plays, but he simply doesn't play often enough to justify his current wages.

All of them honestly. We need to focus on just getting good, youngish players in and start building something. It'll take time.

Yes, would've been a low risk high reward move
Selling DCL would be the ideal situation but I really don’t think A) anyone would be interested and B) we’d get a lot for him if someone was interested.
Silencio.
Gylfi was Swansea's best player and Digne was an outcast for Barcelona tho?
Don't get these constant comments about selling Pickford!
He has been our most consistent player over the last 16 months, we should be ensuring he stays, given the wage he is already on he isn't going to Spurs anyway
Please stop flogging off our assets to the club to justify bringing in "promising young players"

No, and we shouldn't offer him one. He's our best defender but he's never fit and he's on big money. If there is a reasonable offer in the summer (and we're still in the PL) then we should take it and buy a new CB on lower wages.
See Erling Haaland is off to Man City, so you would expect Arsenal to follow up their interest in Gabriel Jesus, thus leaving DCL in the mire?
75 million release clause 30 million in wages per year, think we might be out of the running anyway
From Nicolo Schira? don't know if he is any good though?
