kingxlnc Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 The end of Ritchie, Fraser, Dummett, Lewis, and Dubrakva / Gillespie / Darlow. Clark / Hayden / Matty Longstaff / Hendrick released too. Maybe's to leave are: Manquillo, Krafth, Lascelles (I'd rather keep him but he may want first choice somewhere). That's at LEAST 6 of the current 25 spaces available, and up to 9. I'd like to get a mix of 5-6 purples then some talented youngsters like Ashby to make up the other spaces. Minimum purples we need to buy: 2 CM, 1 LB , 1 RCB, 1 RW, 1 CF Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Should be looking to pick up as many out of contract players as possible aswell. I know it means higher salaries possibly. But in terms of bulking the squad out it might be essential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I'd imagine Tierney will be the first through the door and would be a decent start for ~£30m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt we'll buy their contracts out, and also doubt we'll find anyone interested in spending money on them or willing to offer them wages close to what they are on already so best case scenario they are loaned out until their contracts expire. Wouldn't mind keeping Dubs though. We'll struggle to find a better 2nd choice keeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 We'll spend £200m+ next season. That won't get us as far as people might think. That's what us, Arsenal, Forest & West Ham spent this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Looking forward to it! It is going to be a balancing act, I love this squad, there are going to be hard decisions and people who have done great left behind or leave, but I want it to grow organically as they have done so far. I wonder if some are going to be disappointed with it, next season is very conceivably going to be harder going in the league, Man U will be better, Liverpool will be better, Chelsea could be better (doubt it tbh) and Villa and Brighton could both be better. Hopefully we have a deeper squad with still the same positivity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) The key for Howe will be maintaining the brilliant team spirit he's created, while bringing the required quality to progress us to the next level. I think it'll be similar to last summer 4-5 in with 2-3 Champions League quality players. Edited May 23, 2023 by The Prophet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think there is a small pool to improve the first team but I'm equally as excited to see what we will do at a lower level.

Ikon Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) Get som real genuine top quality players and top it off with youngsters that can play a role similar to Arda Guler/Franca/Baturina amongst others, players with talent for now but a massive ceiling potentially. Personally I’m not interested in decent players that are playing next to their highest level. Edited May 23, 2023 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
