Player Valuation: £80m
We've bought something like 15players since last summer and we need almost a complete overhaul.
How the hell did this happen?
It happens by letting a PE teacher take control of your signings.

We won't attract a manager of any standing unless he is given a significant amount of money to spend on new players. Any manager worth his salt will take a look at our present collection of players and know there is very little mileage in going with them.
A new manager will need to spend well in excess of any monies he can bring in by selling. Personally I think we need to forget about top 4/6 for a couple of years and concentrate on building a team again, we need to replace a good few of the squad and get a good bench. The first team squad needs a complete overhaul.
We need a good young manager with a five year plan who has total support of the board/owner who can get on with the job.
Such as?
Gana, Morgan, McCarthy, Besic, Baningime etc. are all very similar in my eyes.
I was interested to read that Lucas Digne is among the players Barça want to clear out in January. 15 million euros mentioned. Would be an immediate improvement at left back
He'd probably cost more than 15 million euros.Sessegnon...
McCarthy / Besic should be sold because of their injury records....games up for them.
Schneiderlin can go....been a disaster this season.
I'd stick with Gana and Baningime rotating in one DM slot. Sell the others...
Sessegnon...
ive expanded my list of players to move on...there's a lot and it just shows how much of a disaster the summer was;
Keepers: Stekelenburg / Robles (contract)
Defenders: Baines / Williams / Jagielka / Mori / Pennington / Browning / Garbutt / Galloway / Martina
Centre Mids: Schneiderlin / Grant / McCarthy / Besic / Klaassen /
Attacking mids: Bolasie / Mirallas / Lennon / Barkley (contract)
Jury is out: Sigurdsson / Sandro / Rooney (player coach?)
We need: 2 left centre backs / 2 left backs / 1 centre mid / 1 winger / 2 strkers
Besic hasnt been injured for over 18months now.
And we play 2 DMs Zat.
Silva plays 2 DMs also.
100% wont be joining us.
lollollollollollollol
This amuses me very much so, half of them we wouldnt get a penny for, I mean who the hell is gonna buy Bolaise after such an injury?
We could sell every name listed above and get less than 50m for the lot, we would then have a squad of 5 players.
I can't see us getting any more than £20 mill for any of the players we would be prepared to sell. Most of them won't achieve anywhere near that. We need a significant investment from the owners.
I would much prefer to see us going with a smaller talented squad than spending on quantity.
if we managed to magically move on all the players I listed then we would need 2 left backs, 2 left sided centre backs, a centre mid, winger and one or maybe two centre forwards.
If Sigurdsson and Sandro game good and Barkley stayed then really we'd only need 5 players and could jettison a whole teams worth
Please turn FM off and have a lie down. We are not selling over half the squad off in one fell swoop and expecting another new team of strangers to gel in an instant you loon.if we managed to magically move on all the players I listed then we would need 2 left backs, 2 left sided centre backs, a centre mid, winger and one or maybe two centre forwards.
