Suggestions for a midfield signings?
Jaros out of contract and Elliott for sale if we get the right offer.
Lamine Camara at Monaco.
Kid has everything. He’s got a bit of Endo in him in that he’s not shy of getting stuck in but he’s far superior on the ball, both in terms of passing and bringing it forward. Probably most similar to Mac Allister of our current options.
He probably lacks the top level games for us to make a move this summer but maybe we could see him as a developmental prospect we don’t need 50 games from in his first season.
Reckon he may well be on the move this summer though given his trajectory.
My preferred variation…

Departures: Kelleher, Tsimikas, Nunez, Diaz, Gomez
Add Jota and Chiesa to that list I reckon. Chiesa for defo.
What’s your minimum for that? Would you sell to Newcastle or Arsenal?
That squad is a bit too large.
I hope Chiesa stays another year. I feel like we haven’t seen the best of him and he’s a smashing player. It would be sad to see him go.
Mind you, he must be pissed off at being ignored.
Can’t see us getting rid of four of our six attackers in one summer. That would be making a problem for ourselves that we just don’t need given we’ll be after at least two fullbacks, a midfielder and a number 9.
Same with any talk of Elliott going too. I think there’s a fair discussion there about his long term place but not this summer.
I reckon you’ll see Nunez plus one other forward go at most. That’ll be Salah if he doesn’t sign a new deal. If he does then it’s probably Chiesa if we can recoup our money on him. But, if we got a silly offer for Diaz or he agitated for a move then I could see us keeping Chiesa for another year.
Yeah 2 months into the season…with two attackers out
“We should have bought two attackers”
My Proposal for Squad Numbers next season:
1, Alisson
2, Bradley
3, Robertson
4, Van Dijk
5, Konate
6, Gravenberch
7, Diaz
8, Szoboszlai
9, New Striker
10, Mac Allister
11, Salah
12, Gakpo
13, Nobody (unlucky)
14, Mamardashvili
15, New Right Back
16, New Left Back
17, Jones
18, Bajcetic
19, Elliott
20, Jota
21, Chiesa
22, Quansah
23, New CB
Etc
Who have I forgotten?
McConnell will probably get a squad number too.
Ok, twenty something if he doesn’t go on loan.
I’m presuming Trent, Darwin,Tsimikas, Kelleher and Endo leave, which may, or may not, be accurate.
It’s only us who bring two defensive midfielders in a row who wear #3.
I’d give Bradley #66 just to annoy Trent and his entourage.
Would it really?
Started with Fabinho coming in.
The obsession with Trent is just too funny.
It’s a joke about the situation you moaned people were getting wound up about.
And even if it wasn’t, two posts about a player is hardly an obsession. Do feel free to let people know how many posts they can make about each player to stay below your thresholds 
I wonder who the new vice-captain will be. Imagine it’ll be one from Alisson, Salah and Robertson.
