The Clear-out

[Caolam]

Ignoring all the dross that were either on loan or running their contracts down, I would shift on the folllowing;

Coleman
Mina
The Swedish goalie
Gomes
Bernard
Richarlison
Holgate
Davies
Delph
Iwobi

Some of those will be a bit controversial but needs must.

Siggurdsson?

 

[Oasis1878]

Nothing will change lets be honest we'll continue letting Brands sign slow soft players and Carlo will continue to tinker and play about 50 formations next season.

We'll bottle every chance we get to achieve anything and finish 8th-12th.

Rinse and Repeat.

Sickening isn’t it

 

[Igrok]

Put this in the Carlo thread...

Holgate - Sell/Squad
Keane - Sell/Squad
Iwobi - Sell/Squad
Siggy - Sell/Squad
Davies - Sell/Squad
Gomes - Sell/Squad
Jon Joe - Sell


Bernard - Gone
Kean - Gone

Leaves us with a 1st 11 of...

Pickford
Mina
Coleman
Doucoure
Allan
Richy
James
DCL

Major rebuild.

Most of the ones you want to stay are also useless...

 

[messymascot]

Keep
Pickford, Allan, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin, Digne, Mina, Doucoure, Nkounkou, James, Godfrey, Gordon, Gbamin, Davies, Virginia

Get Rid no replacement needed.
Delph, King, Tosun

Replace if possible
Kenny, Holgate, Keane, Sigurdsson, Iwobi, Bernard, Gomes, Coleman, Kean, Olsen

It's not going to happen but that's the changes we need. 3 first team players, Right Back, Right Forward, and Attacking Midfielder. Ideally one of the replacement CBs also first team player. Goalkeeper needs to be good enough to push Pickford.

You mean the bottom list? That's the core squad.

The top list are free for alls

 

[Noble Savage]

He was signed by Moshiri and his stats at Arsenal showed him to be the 4th best player in the league for creativity

Oh wow , really ?
I had a look at his stats when he signed ( we all did ) and I didn't see that .
Thanks for the clarification . I can see why Mosh was interested although feedback from the Gunners fans were on the bemused side .

 

[Death]

Digne, Godfrey, richy, dom, James.

Be delighted to get rid of the rest. With not one iota of exaggeration. Like I'd happily replace them with the kids.

Its disgusting how much we have spent on them.

I'd say he was a panic buy after we couldn't agree a fee on Zaha.

 

[AussieToffee11]

Think this is spot on really.

 

[ToffeeTim]

He one of the best passer in the team and can pass forward with good acc

I wasn't impressed with him. I didn't see any creativity in attack, I didn't see any forward runs into the box and his defensive discipline is so poor.

 

[Papa Shango]

He can pass forward, can tackle unlike Gomes and Sigi, wants the ball and hates losing

In theory he can.

 

[jtl60]

We can start by getting rid of the lack of talent we are paying for others to play (Walcott, Bolasie, Tosun) Besic if he's still around.

But basically, from this seasons first team squad I'd keep

Pickford
Godfrey
Digne
Mina 50/50
Allan
Dacoure
James
DCL
Richarlison ( although if someone came in with a huge bid I wouldn't say no)

 

[Tramps_mate]

TBH on recent performances I'd not be arsed if Richarlison and DCL left...


Had enough of all of them.

Only two that have performed like they want to be here next season are Godfrey and Pickford for me..

 

[ClausThomsen]

Bernard, Kean, Walcott (gone), Kenny, Besic, Bolasie, King, Delph will (hopefully) be gone or at least off the books (loans). So that 7 players gone.

Leaves us with around 19 senior players. We need a 25 man squad.

I think we'll listen to offers for Gomes, Iwobi, Holgate, Davies. If not they're squad players.

We should be getting in a minimum of 4 players. With Bernard and Walcott off the books wage wise, arguably £40-50mill for Kean, a net spend of a £100mill isn't out of the realms of possibility.

There's not a player in that squad we haven't already been listening to offers for. Nobody wants them - that's why all this talk of fictional transfer fees isn't really a good basis on what is or isn't achievable.

You need a buyer before you can sell and then find a way of pushing a deal through where the player is happy with the wage arrangements. Even getting rid on a permanent transfer doesn't always get all the wages off the books if they're on a big deal.

If Kean genuinely wants to give it a go at Everton then I'd look at keeping him. If he isn't into it though then he's a rarity in this squad where there is probably genuine interest and his wages aren't a stumbling block.

May the cull be swift and brutal.
