I keep seeing McCarthy listed as a player likely to leave and I disagree completely.
Koeman likes McCarthy and by allowing Barry to leve he would leave midfield very thin if McCarthy and Barkley leave as well and we all know Barkley is gone.

Tom Davies is going to be a fine player but we can't expect too much from him or any of the youngsters over a full season, they will have good and bad patches.

We have so many new faces in the squad, the manager will want to keep as many familiar faces as possible.

McCarthy is at the age that Koeman likes, the age of a player who should be at his peak.
McCarthy has had a bad history for injuries in the last two seasons, but was quite good before that. A lot of the problems were of his own makingand I would expect this was addressed by Koeman and McCarthy during the summer.

People do forget how influential he was for us just a couple years ago. If his hammy is sorted, it's not like he's wasted space out there. He can cover a lot of ground, and was showing signs of getting better going forward.

I actually hope we keep him. I just don't know exactly where he stands with RK but if likes JM as you say then we're covered in my opinion.

Its a lot to ask, BUT, if we say got a Striker in, spunked a load, we would be "set" for a few years, squad wise, sure we have a few aging players who would need replacing, but we wouldnt have a real NEED for major squad investment.

It would be a MAJOR MAJOR gamble, I do admit.



The money is there, after sales, IMO, I aint moaning about that fact, I just think its the way it is.

You may not agree, and I'm not totally sure if Walsh and Williams will be ready to step up next year, but Liam Walsh in particular I think has a future here (in the Schneiderlin role), and bringing in an expensive import just blocks that completely.

And where do we get the money from for the Striker and the CB?

If we have a "spare" 20m lying around at the end of the window, I would rather we spent it on ANOTHER winger rather than ANOTHER DM.

Those 5 outgoings will generate around £55m-£60m.

Judging by yesterday line-up Sigurdsson will play on the left. Then you have Mirallas, Bolasie, Sandro, Lookman and Koeman even play DCL (not that I want to) on the wing of the front 3.

Striker, holding midfielder and cb who can play lb. I guess the defender might the the cheap option could be a loan. The outgoing fees should be enough to get a good striker and a good dm. Personally Klassen and Davies occupy the advance role of the midfield 3 leaving the new dm, Gana and Schneiderlin to fight for 2 places in dm/cm.
