Player Valuation: £100m
Players to bring in:
I ranked the players based off value, form, future outlook, and how well I believe they’d fit into the team. I think 1 player at each position listed is needed in order to break through into European competition, hopefully over the next 2-3 windows.
I’ll be trying to have an updated list every month.

I think we will sign Gomes and we will have these names on the team sheet;
Pickford
??? ??? Mina Digne
???
??? Gomes
??? ??? Richarlison
The interesting areas to hopefully save on players coming in will be;??? ??? Mina Digne
???
??? Gomes
??? ??? Richarlison
RB: Can Kenny stake a claim over the rest of the season and can Holgate keep performing at a high level for WBA and be 'like a new signing' or will we sell him?
RF: Can Lookman/Bernard/Onyekuru play on the right? I cant see it and I think 2 of them will be sold.
CM: Will we sign Gomes / Zouma ? I think we will keep Gomes and get him support in the centre.
CM: Do Silva/Brands want to keep Vlasic? I think they do.
This would all mitigate the need for numerous signings and allow us to focus on 3 or 4 new players to come in the summer.
