Onana will be leaving for £60m to balance the sheet. Should sell Holgate, Keane and Maupay to get some money in.
All other important players will stay.
Ndidi coming in for free to replace Onana.
Release wage thief Ali, Gomes and Lonergan. Young should go too. Should save £300k wages per week out of these.
Renew contracts of Coleman and Gana for one year. Should give extensions to Calvert-Lewin and Godfrey.
Should only take Harrison on loan again. To spend £20m on him is ridiculous.
Will sign a couple of freebies and loans as new recruitments.
To elaborate
Keep (16): Pickford, Patterson, Tarkowski, McNeil, Calvert-Lewin, Virginia, Beto, Doucouré, Mykolenko, Godfrey, Coleman, Gana, Chermiti, Branthwaite, Garner, Dobbin.
Sold for cash: Holgate, Keane, Onana (I would love to keep him if we don’t need to balance the sheet), Maupay.
Not sure: Harrison (another loan makes sense), Young (Release. Given his age and wage)
Release: Danjuma, Gomes, Dele, Lonergan.
If Harrison comes in for another loan and Young stays on, we need Ndidi (as Onana replacement) and another midfielder who can play CM and AM. We also need another two wingers. 1 senior and another young player as 4th choice on the wing…
If we add a third choice keeper on top of that, the squad members are around 23 excluding youth players like Warrington and Onyango.
