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.
Summer Window: if really strapped for cash


GK: Pickford / Virginia or Tyrer / Lonergan

RB: Coleman / Patterson

LB: Mykolenko / Maitland-Niles

RCB: Keane / Godfrey (ideally someone else)

LCB: Tarkowski / Branthwaite

DM: Gueye / Warrington (Maitland-Niles can cover)

CM: Onana / Garner

AM: Doucoure / Dele Ali (of course depending if he comes through pre season, but i picked him as he could be ideal behind the striker or as a false nr 9)

RW: McNeil / Iwobi

LW: Harrison / Gray (ideally a new winger on loan)

ST: Weghorst / Calvert-Lewin / Cannon

So Maitland Niles on a free, Weghorst around 12 mill, a winger on loan and Harrison 16 mill.
Not spectacular but at least goal scoring options than last year.

We get to keep Pickford and Onana and we still have a team that's going down. Seriously that forward line is not fit for purpose.

Or we can just light 28m on fire
 

Raw but undoubtedly talented.
Really exciting player and a lot of potential, and god knows we could do with a bit of that. BUT if things are tight we really have to be recruiting specific players for specific roles, and a bit like Gray I'm not sure what his role would be in Dyche's team. Harrison nowhere near as exciting, but possibly the more practical, suitable choice?

I agree, Harrison would represent a more practical choice than Gnonto. Seems like he's more "ready" for the job at hand, as you've alluded.
