Ok, but of those remaining players a sizeable number are players we have actively been trying to get rid off (with little success). We would have a functional squad of about 15 players, three of whom would be goalkeepers, I would call that threadbare, personally.
It is now!
If we lose the 8 and don't bring the 2 loans back into the squad then we will have 14 senior outfield players and that is being very kind to Dobbin and Chermiti who have started about 3 games at this level between them we will very obviously be selling at the very very least one of those 14 aswell so whatever way you look at it the squad will be threadbare its just incredibly stupid to pretend otherwise. Thats why people saying they'd rather spend £20m on young back up midfielders is so dim of course we all would but its so out of touch with the real world that its hard to take seriously we're going to be trying to make a small amount of money go a very long way how anybody can't understand that after everything thats happened I do not know.
lol lol lolI think with sales of Onana, Maupay and others and alot of players out of contract we may be able to look one or two of the following:
RB: Rav Van Den Berg
Rav van den Berg - Player profile 24/25
Rav van den Berg, 20, from Netherlands ➤ Middlesbrough FC, since 2023 ➤ Centre-Back ➤ Market value: €4.00m ➤ * Jul 7, 2004 in Zwolle, Netherlandswww.transfermarkt.com
We've been linked, fee rumoured at £20mil. He plays RB & CB so may suit Dyche's 'inside' full back setup.
ACM/RW: Yaser Asprilla
Yáser Asprilla - Player profile 24/25
Yáser Asprilla, 21, from Colombia ➤ Girona FC, since 2024 ➤ Right Winger ➤ Market value: €18.00m ➤ * Nov 19, 2003 in Bajo Baudó, Colombia
Weve been linked and apparently made a bid in Jan. Rumoured that they would accept £30mil.
LW: Samuel Iling-Junior
Samuel Iling-Junior - Player profile 24/25
Samuel Iling-Junior, 21, from England ➤ Bologna FC 1909, since 2024 ➤ Left Winger ➤ Market value: €13.00m ➤ * Oct 4, 2003 in London, England
Linked last summer and during this season. Apparently available for £12mil.
DM: Archie Gray
Archie Gray - Player profile 24/25
Archie Gray, 18, from England ➤ Tottenham Hotspur, since 2024 ➤ Right-Back ➤ Market value: €25.00m ➤ * Mar 12, 2006 in Durham, England
Everyone wants him and it would be a long shot. But perhaps if Leeds dont come up he may prefer a step up to a side where he would start every game? My guess would be £40mil if it was ever possible.
LW/ACM/RW: Rayan Cherki
Rayan Cherki - Player profile 24/25
Rayan Cherki, 21, from France ➤ Olympique Lyon, since 2019 ➤ Attacking Midfield ➤ Market value: €20.00m ➤ * Aug 17, 2003 in Lyon, France
Fabulous player who we would love to watch. Lyon have had a poor season and he has a year on his deal, perhaps a cheeky £25mil offer could bring him in?
Others will know far more options than me but the profiles we should be looking at are surely u21 with high potential...that could start for us from day 1.
Not only do we need to improve the team but also the squad value as well to make money.
Its ok because Zat thinks Saudi teams are giving us £40m for Donkey, £40m for Gomes, £30m Holgate, £50m godfrey
I imagine we won't sign any of these. Knowing everton, they won't even be aware of them, probably!!I think with sales of Onana, Maupay and others and alot of players out of contract we may be able to look one or two of the following:

You can't just include kids with no experience and who obviously aren't even very highly rated as if they're an actual part of the squad what is wrong with you ffs.Quality is threadbare, but the number of players isnt
Well, no. If Onana goes and Gomes + Gana are out of contract there is only Garner + Doucoure to fill 3 midfield positions.
At the same time we would only have Mills as a backup right winger.
To further highlight this:
LW: McNeil / Dobbin
CM: Garner / Warrington(?)
CM:
RW: Mills(?)
ACM: Doucoure
We would need to bring in at least 2 CM + 2 RW/ACM players that can play both roles.
= 4 players
If we sold Onana, Maupay and one or two others then we can bring in 4 players quite comfortably.
You either bring in low cost, low wage backup midfielders OR you gamble on higher wage midfielders which is what got you into the mess in the first place.
Also its not about signing 'backup' players, its about competition.
GK: Pickford / Virginia / Tyrer
LB: Mykolenko
LCB: Branthwaite / Holgate
RCB: Tarkowski / Keane
RB: Patterson / Godfrey
LM: McNeil / Dobbin
CM: Garner / Warrington
CM:
RM: Mills
ACM: Doucoure
CF: DCL / Beto / Chermiti / Maupay
= 20 players on the books.
Holgate, Keane, Godfrey, maupey will be gone. Chances are branthwaite will more than likely be gone. Maybe pickers too. Mills, Warrington Chermiti, are nowhere near first team. Dobbin is bench player. Beto abysmal. Doucoure may well be gone. That leaves about 2 and a half players...Quality is threadbare, but the number of players isnt
