Transfer priorities:
- A new pair of fullbacks - right back prioritized
- Central midfielder, preferebly a no.8
- A pair of fast, dribbling wingers
- New striker
I would love the idea of having a fullblast pair of fullbacks, where Mykolenko is pushed everyday (Dixon needs a loan) and our right side can be sorted once and for all.
I think we are allright in the middle with O’Brien covering up for Tarky and Jarrad - or can step directly in if we sell Jarrad. We need another backup then.
Think we are alright with Gana/Iroegbunam/Garner, but we need a dominating no. 8 that can step in immediately.
Alcaraz, McNeil and Lindstrøm fights for no. 10-spot, and Ndiaye and McNeil at wings with two more great wide options. I like Kamaldeen Sulemana.
Upfront, we are having a blast with Beto. I hope we say goodbye to DCL and finds a no. 9 that are ready for an eye-to-eye battle with Beto and Chermiti.
That Leaves is with a squad of 21 players:
1. Pickford
2. Crellin
3. Tyrer
4. O’Brien
5. New right fullback
6. Mykolenko
7. New left fullback
8. Tarkowski
9. Branthwaite
10. Gana
11. Iroegbunam
12. Garner
13. New central midfielder (no. 8)
14. Alcaraz
15. Armstrong
16. McNeil
17. N’Diaye
18. Lindstrøm
20. New winger
21. New winger
22. Chermiti
23. Beto
24. New striker
If an optimal number is around 27 competitive players, we have 3 extra slots that can be filled with either young prospects from the academy or long term investments.
We probably enter the most important window in my time as an Evertonian. We have a great leadership under Moyes, we are no longer locked with PSR-regulations and we have a new stadium ready for us. Thelwell has to get ur right with key transfers in key areas of our squad, which I think will undergo a massive overhaul with several players going out and hopefully a lot of great hungry players joins our mission to become best of the rest again.
