The above is how I’d be working towards fixing the squad. We won’t fix it all in one window, but this would be an incredible start.
We’ve actually made some excellent progress with trimming the fat (albeit inadvertently with contracts initially being offered to Davies & Begovic only for them to turn them down! Coleman also offered but still yet to sign)
If we are somehow able to pull off the above, we could then look at fixing either the DM (Gueye) or RW (Gray) position in January.
Then going into summer 2024 in a much healthier position, priority being to do the other (RW or DM) and replace Doucoure (end of contact) and probably look at another CB for Tarkowski.
