I genuinely think we need (sharp intake of breath):

1 GK
1 LB
2 RB
1 CB
1 CM
2 RW
1 ST

And I think that's the minimum, and assumes we sign Alcaraz. It's going to be a scary job this summer.

Think we only need one RB really. Can’t see Patterson going anywhere tbh, and O’Brien can step in there.

Also think one of the RWs you want should be a more utility forward that can cover across the front line rather than an out and out RW.

Don’t think it’s too scary, 5 permanents and 3 loans.

I really don't think that'll be enough. Depends on renewals and loan options, I suppose. I'm assuming that Gana and Doucoure will sign an extension, one of Virginia or Begovic likewise, and we sign Alcaraz. Even with that we'll still only have 16 players contracted. 8 would be enough, assuming players like Armstrong can step up.

I would be surprised if Moyes didn't extend Keane's contract too. Tried to bring him to West Ham on a few occasions. . .
 

I'm curious about what replacing Thelwell says about TFG's ambitions for the summer market. We know Thelwell is conservative and was talking about evolution not revolution- are TFG showing they are more ambitious than that? Must admit I'd be nervous about them trying to turbocharge things too much too quickly, but maybe that's just a hangover from the crazy spending of the early Moshiri years.

‘revolution’ hasnt exactly worked so well for us over the last decade. It nearly got us relegated and put into administration
 
If some of the players out of contract accept lower wages, I'd keep a few on.
Need a squad, whilst they're not quality enough to push up the league, they can be used for early cup matches and can fill in for injuries etc.
