Thread: Building a squad to compete for the title

  1. #1

    Building a squad to compete for the title

    Let's say these lot in charge are planning long term for the title and say over 4/5 seasons as that's how long I'd go for to compete at the top
    First season who do you show the door
    Let's go with 5/6 players

    I was going to say, "That's easy!" But ONLY 5/6 players? 😂

    Okay...

    Carroll
    Muto
    Gayle
    Atsu
    Krafth

    I'm obviously not including the players we've loaned, who are on loan or not in the squad...

    I do think when we get a top class manager in Lascelles wont be 1st name on the teamsheet anymore and it will be Schar and Lejuene at the back, the way Bruce has treated those two is shocking

    Maybe we should do who to replace them with aswell

    Replace carroll with Cavani
    Replace muto with Eduoard
    Replace Krath with Max Aarons
    Replace Murphy with Jude Bellingham
    Replace Gayle with Kane

    Good list - i'd agree with all except i'd swap Atsu for Murphy.

    I bet some of them are happy to sit on their big contracts and do bûgger all like Colbeck has even though they could go elsewhere. I sure Muto has another couple of years left plus the ones that are permanently load out but nobody ever buys them. Hopefully some of the dross will get shifted even if the new owners have to take the short term financial hit to get the ball rolling.
