Ins and outs for next season

Sun May 05, 2019 1:57 pm

CURRENT SQUAD

Keepers

Etheridge - keep
Smithies - keep
Murphy - keep

Not much going on here. I'd be surprised if anyone came in for etheridge and we need three keepers so I expect these all to stay

Defenders

Peltier - keep
Bennett - keep
Morrison - keep
Manga - keep
Bamba - keep
Cunningham - keep
Richards - sell
Connolly - keep

Probably the area of the pitch that needs the least work next season. Need to have four centre backs at the club and Connolly is an able no.4, while peltier/ Cunningham can also cover if needed. Richards can't get fit and needs to leave.

Midfielders

Gunnersson - leaving
Arter(loan)
Camarasa (loan)
Ralls - keep
Patterson - keep
Bacuna - keep
Damour - leave
O' Keefe - leave

Only three central midfielders at the club next season, and one of them (bacuna) I don't really have any confidence in to be honest. We need some investment in this area for sure

Wingers

Mendez-Liang - keep
Murphy - sell
Hoillet - sell
Harris - leave

For me, if we can get most/ all of our money back for Murphy I would to freshen things up. I feel hoilett has stagnated and Harris should have left already.

Strikers

Zohore - keep
Niasse(loan)
Ward - keep
Reid - keep
Healey - leave
Madine - sell
Bogle - sell

We need one main striker, a big investment who we can be confident can get us goals. Reid might well do that, but I'd play him off another. Healey, like Harris needs to leave and get first team football. Apparently sheff United are interested in madine? They would be mad, but if we can get any kind of money for him we should sell.

new signings

Sam Byram (right back, west ham)
Joe lolley (winger, Forest)
Neil Maupay (striker, Brentford)
Ollie Watkins (winger, Brentford)
Harry Arter (midfielder, Bournemouth)
Ryan Woods (midfielder, Stoke)
Bradley Dack (midfielder, Blackburn)


All of the above, obviously unlikely and would cost a lot. Selling Murphy might help in that regard. I think a midfield of arter Dack and ralls next season would be fantastic though.

Plenty to do and look forward to this summer! :ayatollah:

Play Reid off Patterson both will score alot in the champ. Main areas we need to invest in is at least 3 cM's and a RB.
