So we have Neto, Palmer, Nkunku, Madueke, Felix, Mudryk and Sancho competing for three positions on the pitch?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not if Nkunku is used more a striker which seems likely if we don't sign a striker this window. And Mudryk probably going to be a bit part player now behind Sancho.
So in reality that would be Neto, Palmer, Madueke, Felix and Sancho (five players) competing for three positions with Mudryk very much a minor role and probably soon to be moved on.
That's not too overloaded at all, especially when you have potentially 70 games to play in a season. We're bound to get injuries as well.

CMs: Enzo, Caicedo, Dewsbury-Hall, Lavia
WGs: Neto, Madueke, Sancho, Mudryk
AMs: Palmer, Nkunku, Felix
STs: Jackson, Guiu
25 players.

Yep, that'll be it.
We'll probably need all 25 tbh. We usually do ok in the domestic cups and go quite far. Got Thursday nights to contend with this season too.

In terms of quality
GKs - 4/10 - really lacking in a no1 choice
FBs - 7/10 - James is too injury prone, lowers the score
CBs - 5/10 - all ok, but no clear leader
CMs - 5/10 - physically weak and lacking goals
WGs - 7/10 - theoretically some good depth

Agree, GK, CB & ST are the most worrying aspects of the squad.
Midfield is ok, probably lacks a bit of balance when Lavia doesn't play.
Osimhen?
Seriously, prefers to play in Saudi at his age?
Dont think he has priorities right at all.
There is not a queue of clubs trying to sign because of his attitude.
As much as we would benefit having a decent striker, he is not the player imo.
“This is disappointing to be honest, imagine Napoli also signed a striker from Chelsea, this is a lose lose for everyone, Napoli, Chelsea; Osimhen” (@FabrizioRomano)
I thought Osimhen was holding out for us and didn't want to go to Saudi.
His wage demands didn't fit with our structure.
If no one wants Chilwell I feel like he might be better than the Veiga bloke

Probably not in the inverted role which Maresca likes to do.
He can keep James company in the physio room
Any chance you take back Mount please?
How have we spent all that on GK and somehow none are better than Kepa…whose contract we’re renewing. Other than Petrovic, possibly the best of the lot, who we’re discarding as well.
Absolute disasterclass.

Maybe the manager should coach him to play his way. The main reason these guys are getting booted out is because they are on high wages.
