Here we are in Feb 2021. Will you keep or sell the players in the first team squad in the coming summer? The recent matches have made quite an impact on my view.

Pickford - Sell if someone pay us what we paid. But have to keep him or Olsen even we are getting a new keeper in.
Holgate - Sell if we are getting a decent fee. He will either be the 4th choice cb or backup rb next season.
Keane - Keep.
Allan - Keep.
Richarlison- Keep.
Delph - Sell but doubt someone will come in for him unless it is a cheap loan.
Calvert-Lewin - Keep.
Sigurðsson - A close one. Keep as a backup till his contract runs out in a year.
King - Too early to say if he performs and works hard on the pitch till May maybe keep. A two year contract?
Digne - Keep.
Mina - Keep.
Doucouré - Keep.
Iwobi - Keep, on the borderline.
Nkounkou - Keep.
James - Keep. Activate the one year extension.
Bernard - Sell.
Gomes - Sell.
Godfrey - Keep.
Coleman - Sell.
Gbamin - Hopefully keep if things going right if not can only see him going out on loans.
Davies - Keep.
Virgínia - Keep as 3rd choice.
Olsen - Not sure at this point.

Quality replacements is the only way forward imo.
Hopefully that'll push the deadwood out the door.
Easier said than done, I know.

​
Pickford - Sell - Cut our losses if needs be.
Olsen - Keep - Backup to our new 1st choice keeper.
Virgínia - Not seen anything of him.

Coleman - Keep - Create a role for him with the backroom staff.
Holgate - Keep - We need decent squad players.
Keane - Keep
Mina - Undecided
Godfrey - Keep - He a powerhouse and our future captain.
Digne - Keep
Nkounkou - Keep - Looked good when he's played.

Delph - Sell - But who would want him.
Besic - Sell - No point in him being here if he's not going to be used.
Gbamin - Undecided - Need to see more of the lad.
Allan - Keep
Davies - Keep - Becoming a vital part of our setup.
Doucouré - Keep - Not fully sold on him yet, but I feel he may come good.
Gomes - Keep - He has his moments and can be a useful squad member.
Sigurðsson - Keep - Would take the gamble with him.
James - Undecided - He's too 'hot and cold' and certainly not looking worthy of a one-year extension.
Bernard - Sell - Get rid but only if Carlo has no intention of giving him extended playing time.
Iwobi - Keep - The guy has his uses.

Richarlison - Undecided - I've had it with his attitude and sulking, but he does work hard and can turn games.
King - Undecided - Let's wait and see what he offers us.
Calvert-Lewin - Keep - Decent Forwards are hard to come by.

I'm sat here thinking, bar the broken ones like Delph/Gbanim, who would I sell first? It would have to be Pickford. We could get away with Holgate or Godfrey at RB, which is probably our next weakest position. But Pickford has absolutely stunk the gaff out, and as long as he is in the sticks we will never finish top 6 imo
 

GK:

Pickford- Sell if we can get anything near what we paid
Olsen - Not bothered
Virginia - Loan or Sell

DF:

Coleman- Keep but only have as backup
Kenny - Sell
Keane - Keep
Mina - Keep
Holgate - Keep
Godfrey - Keep
Branthwaite - Keep
Gibson - Sell
Digne - Keep
Nkounkou - Keep

MF:

Davies - Keep, low wages, good squad man
Allan - Keep
Doucoure - Keep
Gomes - Sell, will never be the player he was pre-injury
Sigurdsson - Sell, has moments but can’t rely on him at all
James - Keep
Delph - Sell
Bernard - Sell, likeable player but wages too high
Iwobi - Keep, does as much as Bernard and Sigurdsson for half the wages and still time to improve
Gordon - Loan again if he can’t stake a claim

FW:

DCL - Keep
Richarlison- Keep
King - Too early to say
Kean - Sell, would like him to be a success here but just can’t see it
Tosun - Sell

Anyone not mentioned who isn’t a U23 player then sell / loan if possible
