Buendia does this too and I hope the culture Emery has created has rubbed off on him - Duran for me has come on massively with his attitude, he is a right handful. Rogers too, looking really good, our attacking options are brilliant - I can see us playing a lot of games every season if this plan continues.
Defensively - we have signed a RB already, Cash could leave? For me he doesn't have the elite potential, KKH is backup for now - let's see. Digne has played well this season, wages very high, could leave to balance the books - Moreno hasn't quite been himself, maybe the long injury still affecting him as it did Bailey last year?
Centre halves - when Mings is back not sure how it will work with Pau & Konsa who are both very good, we may end up with a system of the 3 of them, Carlos is back to form now and with Lenglet we have enough (is he on loan?).
Kamara - definitely an area we need to strengthen, Luiz & McGinn can't play every game & Tielemans doesn't look like he has too many games left in him. I don't think Emery trusts Tim or else he'd get more minutes.
The rest takes care of itself including Martinez as we now have Gauci.
