Thank you.

Thank you.
I don’t know why you keep arguing. My opinion is we won’t stump up the cash needed to prise them away. You’ve literally given reasons why we won’t. Just because we spent 40m on Sanchez doesn’t mean we’re gonna spend 50m each on these two in the summer. Let alone having to address other areas of the team.Typo, edited

I could be wrong, but shouldn't this be in the Chat section?
New LB
New RB
Alderweireld replacement
New DM/Wanyama replacement
New CM (Dembele replacement)
Eriksen replacement
WF/ST
I'd love it if we got him but Palace will charge a fortune for Wan-Bissaka if they even let him go. Other teams in the top 6 also have needs at RB and will pay more. I don't see how he's attainable for us.Agree with posters above. Would love Wan-Bissaka, he will be a star.
What's a transfer, dad?
Vorm - release him, replace from development/academy options deemed good enough, or else bring in a homegrown option.
Alderweireld - expecting him to go, we should replace him with an up and coming LCB to understudy Vertonghen, as Sanchez and Foyth are naturally RCB.
Wanyama - if he’s past his injuries, I’d still see a space for him, but in reality replacing him with a more progressive (in possession) DM should be our best option. Berge stands out.
Eriksen - again, another I’m expecting to leave, we should be looking for a suitable LCM for the way Poch seems to want to play, technically able, workrate and physicality. Rabiot ideal, but failing that scour the Bundesliga.
Llorente - replace with a Son’esque player, someone who is able to fill in for Kane, but also capable of slotting in alongside him or as a WF in order to get minutes on the park for sharpness. Werner seems the obvious choice.
You’d also have Nkoudou and Janssen leaving.
I’d contemplate letting one of the senior RB’s go too, assuming we felt we had a backup option to provide some depth behind Walker-Peters and whichever other remained. Longer view, a new LB with the dynamism Poch requires, and the durability. That could wait a season though, don’t want too many changes at once.
GK - Lloris, Gazzaniga, Austin
RB - Trippier, Aurier, Walker-Peters
LB - Rose, Davies, (Georgiou)
RCB - Sanchez, Foyth, Carter-Vickers
LCB - Vertonghen, New LCB
DM - Dier, Berge, (Skipp)
RCM - Sissoko, Onomah
LCM - Rabiot, Winks, (Amos)
RWF - Lamela, Moura, (Edwards)
LWF - Alli, Son, (Roles)
CF - Kane, Werner, (Sterling)
25 man squad, 10 of which are homegrown.
I’d add in Georgiou (as a LB project), Skipp, Amos, Edwards, Roles and Sterling to first team squad, all homegrown and I don’t believe they’d need listing due to their age. Show our best prospects plus others we are interested in, that we provide a pathway.
Enough positional flexibility in that squad to switch between 3421, 4231, 442 (diamond) and 433.
