Dont mind Young and Evans as backup for 12months.

We have 5 CBs so need to move one on. If Evans joins wed need to move out 2.

2 of Holgate, Godfrey, Keane to be sold hopefully.
Young and Evans are decent back up. Rarely injured, both better than the backups we have, and if the younger players are struggling, will both come in and do a professional job.

It also signifies that they are focusing our money on the forward line. If they get that right this year, then they can sort the defence out next year, as we would need to replace young, evans and Coleman. We may also need to be replacing gana and doucoure.

Evans is always injured these days. May as well resign Mina to sign Evans.

Wasn’t evans injured for a big bulk of last season?
 

Will be interesting to see how the new offside law changes defensive tactics. Playing a high line is going to be very risky, so will back 4's play deeper instead? Would suit older defenders with a lack of pace if they do, but its going to open up the pitch and make pressing the opposition defense a lot more difficult.
I think offside is the least of our worries. Defensively we started off pretty sound last season. It's the other end that worries me
 


wow did not realize DCL is still some way off being match fit after like almost 2 months.
also clear statement from Stone that they are looking for a focal point to hoof it up to. That is clearly not Gray / Maupay / Elanga or Danjuma.
so hope if we get 1 or 2 wingers sorted we can make progress with a nr 9.

got Weghorst written all over it lol once El Bilal Toure is not coming off

just go and do it guys
 
It's looking like we will need 4-5 forward players if Iwobi and Gray leave, so you can understand why they are getting free transfers at the back, not great and these aren't exciting names but this is where we are and you can at least see the logic, as long as we get the right level of forward players.
