Keep Pickford, Garner, Tarks.
Sell everybody else.
Honestly what ya like:
Garner looks so out of his depth that he should be sitting in a submarine.

Who was the young Argentine they signed; quite liked the look of him.
If we sold Maupay for £10mil, DCL for £15mil and Simms for say £2.5mil then weve got £27.5mil towards a centre forward.
Pretty sure he'd be happy with a realistic chance of becoming a starter here and a nice wage increase, one good season and you'd be talking arsenal, city etc types interestedI have a strong feeling that Pickford will go. He’s a good lad and I think he signed the contract to maximise the amount we get for him (probably in anticipation of relegation); just don’t think he fancies another relegation scrap when he’s comfortably a top 6 level keeper.
Onana is as good as gone, also, I reckon. I like him, but £20m-£30m profit in one year is exactly the kind of business we should be doing, so no tears will be shed here.
If DCLs agent can convince potential buyers to look the other way over his injury record, I think he’ll be gone, too.
I assume Mina will be off, but we’ll fill his squad place with Branthwaite, so financially we’re all good, there (likely better off because of wages). We’ll see what happens with JB as he seems keen on a permanent move to PSV, but that can surely only happen if we get wedge enough to replace with someone good.
As for incomings? Who knows. I’m no mystic, but I can see us bringing in slow, useless garbage for well over market price.
If we had a budget of say £20mil for a centre forward but then sold DCL, Simms and Maupay to get us up to around £47.5mil...how many forwards would you be able to buy with that who can practically be a 'guarantee' to score alot of goals, see their value rise and improve the team?In a season in which a lack of Strikers has left us DEEP in the mud, you propose we enter a Season with 1 unproven Striker and A N Other.
Great idea Zat.
We need to hold onto Branthwaite and Onana unless absolutely insane offers arrive.I have a strong feeling that Pickford will go.

Is £2.5mil too low for Simms? Ive no ideaAlcaraz.
lol
Any room for negotiation there, Zat?
We wont be signing anyone until 30th June as thats when the financial year ends for clubs. Theyll want to put down the 70 million from Gordon and Kean on the accounts without spending anything to manipulate the accounts and make them look better than they are.
The Prem wont come to a decision on our FFP until at least October so we shouldnt worry about FFP punishment for now and even if we did get a transfer ban or points deduction we would appeal etc and the whole process would be dragged out.
on a separate note, i actually trust Thelwell as although he wasnt able to get a ST, there are plenty of reasons for that ie FFP. he has only made one poor signing (Maupay) and seems to actually know what hes doing. He found Mudryk before Chelsea and Arsenal who is clearly talented otherwise the other Iranian owner in the prem wouldnt have spent 100 million on him. Kev also found Kudus who should really be ours but Ajax are little pricks so he isnt and he will be going to to a champions league club ie Arsenal or United etc. In Kev we trust…
Off to AC Milan apparently.I wouldn’t mind Loftus-Cheek if he doesn’t break the bank
You're going to be disappointed when you find out that Doucs signed a contract extension last week...If we could offload
Iwobi
Doucs
Holgate
Davies
Maupay
Onnana
Gomes
Gbamin
Godfrey
Before June 30th that would be awesome
Calling for the sale of Doucs today seems a touch ungratefulIf we could offload
Iwobi
Doucs
Holgate

What I don't get is how loads are saying move on onana cos he's not good enough but then say we'll get a massive wedge for him. Surely if he isn't good enough nobody would pay a massive wedge for him?
Davies is out of contract and I'd want to keep Onana and Doucoure.If we could offload
