Player Valuation: £40m
I think there will be a few surprises going out in the summer. Tom Davies maybe, Keane as well. Kenny if the price is right.I thnk we are looking to player trade lads so here is how i see it, the following players i think will leave this summer unless they are offered a new contract and one will look to strengthen.:
Outs:
Gylfi will leave unless he signs a new deal, 20-30 mill
Tosun could leave hopefully to Palace for 20 mill.
Schneiderlin will leave unless he signs a new deal for 10 -15 mill
Walcott will leave unless he signs a new deal for 10 -15 mill.
Any thing else we can get for youth players and the Besics, Boalase's and Sandros of this world is a bonus.
Ins:
Do we need a number 10, if we are playing 4-4-2?
Do we need a replacement for Tosun with DCL, Richarlison and Kean?
We could do with another body in midifeild. Maybe we dont if Gomes and JPG are fit.
We could do with another body at center half.
We could do with another body at right midfield.
We might need another body at left back if Baines does not sign a new deal.
We have a decision to make on Sibide, do we sign him and player trade him for Kenny or keep Kenny?
So potentially, we need a center midfielder, center half, right winger and decisions to be made at left back and right back.
Thats how i see it at the moment.
I think we definitely need one centre mid, maybe 2. Gbamin is starting from scratch next season, so it’s not as if we can count on him every week.
Also at Napoli, Ancelotti played a midfielder in one of his wide positions in his 442. So I don’t really see 2 wingers playing that often. Injuries have affected his team selections. But we’ve seen him do this with sidibe playing infront of Coleman. Though obviously that’s not a perfect solution.
I wonder if he will try for Fabián Ruiz from Napoli, would cost a few quid. But a left midfielder who has played wide for Napoli. And someone on right side who’s more of a wide forward, who will offer a much bigger goal threat than, Walcott, Bernard & iwobi. I know the latter 2 don’t play on the right, but was mainly speaking about our wide players in general.
