This biggest problems are Davies, Doherty, Rodon, Dier. All defenders who do not qualify for HG status in Europe

Dier doesn't qualify for HG in the Prem either.

If we are to splash £60m odd on a Bastoni do we really want him lining up with Dier and Romero?

Tanganga is not good enough but could improve. Rodon looks to be on his way. Can't blame him.

Whilst his stock is high still think we should sell Dier. It's the right time to do so.

Sanchez for all his faults, still has pace which is handy. Davies is a very good back up.

Ideally we should look to sign an English CB to aid the HG quota. The Everton youngester and Palace CB have been linked in the past.

Would you take Tarkwoski?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As a back up, maybe. The Palace lad is 21, had a good season. Ex Chelsea though, he may have a buy back clause?

I'm also beginning to think Lingaard could be a possibility to help us out with HG numbers, if need be. There were rumours in January.

8 or 9 is too many and unlikely.

I'd say 7 inc.a keeper and subject to some outs, 5 or 6 outs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
this seems reasonable
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If we want to maintain 4th and win f all again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Seriously?

so if we had the following squad:

Lloris / FORSTER

Doherty/ SPENCE

Sessegnon/ Reguillon/ PERISIC

Romero / BASTONI / Dier / Davies / Sanchez / Tanganga

Hojbjerg / Skipp / Bentancur / ERIKSEN/ BISSOUMA / Sarr

Son / MARTINEZ / Kane / Kulu / Lucas / Gil


OUT:
Winks, GLC, NDombele, Rodon, Emerson, Bergwijn


You do not think we could improve from 4th and challange a trophy?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For a start your squad does not comply with the CL HG quota. If you think those CB's are strong enough for the whole season taking into account injuries and suspensions keep living in la la land.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

So are you saying we should have 5 top quality CBs on our books. Can you point to another club that does. Sanchez Dier & Davies saw us through the final 3 games of the season without conceding a goal, while we also had Emerson in place. As squad players thee players can do a job....yes if we are crippled with injury in one position we will suffer, like LFC did in 20 and City the season before...so even teh biggest teams do not have unlimited supply of top quality.

You are the one in LaLa Land if you think we are going to ship out 5 or 6 defenders and replace them all.

As for HG.....Winks & Rondon out = Spence & Forster in, so there is no difference to the amount of HG we have.

The rule anyway is a maximum 17 of non HG, so while we could not name all of those in our CL squad, there are some names there that wouldnt likely make our UCL squad anyway.

I'm saying we should have at least 3 top class CB's plus Davies with Dier or Sanchez as back ups.

I think we should ship out Reg, Rodon with one of Dier and Sanchez. So three, maybe four with Emerson depending on a replacement. Not five big boy.

Out of the 19 non HG lads in your squad I would take out Gil and Sarr for the CL squad.

Scoring and assisting goals is pretty important for a winger. Maybe if he had some end product, Burnley would have stayed up

Tbf McNeil would probably suit us as a wingback but we don't need another left sided one

well thats the thing not for a team like Burnley the 'wingers' in the 442 are basically wing backs
