To be honest that is living in fantasy land.In the first 11 if we were to proceed next season with:
Pickford
Mykolenko Branthwaite Tarkowski Patterson
Onana
Garner New Player
New Player New Player New player
I think most of us would be happy.
The amount of wages out the door as well as fees coming in for others should help us massively.
Squad may be a bit light but quality over quantity.
Only 17 players have played more than 5 games worth of minutes.
I think your question is flawed...
"In what world would any club keep"
Coleman
Young
Holgate
Keane
Godfrey
Gomes
Doucoure
Harrison
Danjuma
Beto
DCL
Lonergan
Gana
Maupay
Dele
Id like to see you back yourself here and make a case for why the club should keep each of these players.
The wage bill needs cutting. The first 11 needs improving and the squad needs a total gutting.
Yes i remember they were in for him. He was someone i mentioned while he was with Sporting.
I think with Barcelona and Bayern interested we should be looking for young players to be included in any deal if we cant persuade him to stay.
Selling one player is difficult never mind selling most of a squad of players who are not in demand.
They then have all to be placed by players who are in demand.... and all of this to be done while having no money.
We will be paying loyalty bonuse, agents fees , signing on fees and a host of other costes before we even talk about wages or transfer fees.
Then there there is the issue of getting a who new squad practically and turning it into a cohesive team.
