I'd keep Lonners. He's basically a GK coach at this point and the soundest fella of all time. Tyrer will be on loan again and Big Shandys a better keeper than Crellin

I think Patterson will be first choice once he’s back fully fit. Just needs a proper run.

Gana extended is a no-brainer
Does Coleman get extended for the squad ? No doubt he stays in some capacity.
DCL extend would be good
Danjuma is gone you'd think unless we come into some cash.
Dele for sure is gone.
Gomes ? well, we don't get much out of him do we ? Even on reduced wages.
Harrison....depends how much I guess, he has his moments and works hard.
Young for cheap squad filler ?
Would be good to move on and replace Maupay (modest value), Holgate (no value) and Keane (little value) but won't easy.

Don't get attached to this idea. The experiment of Mills at full back didn't last long in the 21s and he played exclusively as a right winger while out on loan.

It looks a bit bleak really, and that’s before the mass exodus.
I think we’ll be so strapped for cash the likes of Coleman and Young will be getting new one year deals if they’ll sign them. Gana of course gets a new one.
That leaves Harrison, Danjuma, Dele, Gomes and Lonergan all to leave. We’d need two wingers and a centre mid to replace them ideally.
Unfortunately, I’d be amazed if we don’t sell both Branthwaite and Onana this summer. We’ve got to get the signings right, simply can’t afford any expensive flops.
Oh and Maupay and Holgate can both be fired out of a cannon, squeeze as much out of Brentford for Neal as we can.

I get all the arguments for why he's likely to go, but if there's any way at all we can keep Branthwaite, we should.
The defence has been the bedrock this season and I just don't trust that we'll be able to replace him.

Wages saved will be significant;
Gomes £120k
Dele £100k
Coleman £60k (maybe offer him 1 yr as player/coach but on hugely reduced terms, say £30k)
Onana £50k
Harrison £60k
Danjuma £60k
Doucoure is in the last year of his contract and was linked with Saudi teams last summer. I’d be inclined to sell him if they offered £10m or more. He’s apparently on £75k a week.
That frees up £500k a week, £26m a year. We should be able to raise a minimum of £65m for Maupay, Onana and Doucoure combined.
We would then be able to add to the squad. If Onana is sold before June 30th then we are in a better position to say to Branthwaite we want him to stay for 1 more season. New accounts start from July 1st, with new financial rules seemingly being based on spend/turnover. Whilst massively benefitting top 6 teams, this also helps Everton as new revenue starts to come in from the stadium move. If we can make some smart signings this summer ( I know, I know!), then we might finally be able to move forwards.

There is no reason that Ashley Young should get a new deal at the age of 39. 39 year olds categorically cannot play Premier League football, even as “emergency backup” (he wouldn’t be, he’d play most games)
Same goes for Coleman who can no longer play 2 games of football without ending up injured. Both players would be a complete waste of a wage.

Completely agree. I’ll be amazed if we let them both go though.

I don’t think Dyche trusts him, be interesting to see. My feeling is he’s not quite the level required.

I thought Doucoure was our top earner?
Either way, I agree that anyone with only 1 year left should either sign a new contract (if they are in the plans) or be sold off this summer. We can't let valuable players just leave the club without fetching a fee.
Players with 1 year left include:
Dom, Doucs, Godfrey, Keane, Dobbin, Virginia and Onyango.

Release:
Longeran
Young
Gomes
Alli
End of Loans:
Harrison
Danjuma
Sell:
Holgate
Maupay
Give Gueye a 1yr extension
Move Coleman into a coaching role
That leaves us needing:
Left Back
Right Back
Left Wing
Right Wing
With a distinct lack of pace and the inability to cross the ball to one of the best headers of the ball in the top flight (DCL) we need to look at getting players who can do this. The Championship is full of talent. As are the European second tier leagues.
Best of luck to Kevin Thelwell. This is a HUGE Transfer window as we need a squad to transition from our battlers to having a more fluid identity when it comes to transitioning from Def to Att and vice versa. Whether we go with Ball Retention or fast counters is dependant on who we can recruit. But we need a squad that will get us mid table, hopefully comfortably, and into the new Stadium where the draw of that alone should attract a better level of player again.

If Onana leaves we also need some CMs, hell even if he doesnt we probably need a player there for sure.
So for me we need at least
1 RB
1 LB
1 CM
2 wide forwards
And thats even before we start addressing the potential gap in defence a potential JB sale would create.
