We can rotate, tactically adapt, or play all of them together. The best thing of all is that Unai is picking the team and not any of us You're forgetting the great debates of recent years.

By replacing current players I only mean in the squad position. We may offer Young a new contract but I still think we will get competition in for Cash. We may decide/have to keep Coutinho, Duran won't be sold but I don't think he will be the alternative option to Watkins up front next season. This would give us the following squad of 22 plus extras for next season: GK - Martinez, Mamardashvili RB - Dumfries, Cash CB - Mings, Carlos, Pau Torres, Konsa LB - Moreno, Digne DM/CM - Kamara, Luiz, Dendoncker, Guendouzi AM - Goncalves, Ramsey, McGinn, Buendia, Asensio, Bailey ST - Watkins, Thuram That is roughly £160m and hopefully we might get around £20m total for our own sales. £140m is a lot of money but wouldn't shock me to see us pay this Summer. Now add to that any promising youngsters that Unai wants to keep around plus any from the following list that we can't shift or want to keep and you have a squad I would back to get us top four next season! Olsen, Young, Chambers, Hause, Nakamba, Sanson, Traore, Coutinho, Archer, Davis, Wesley We are not paying 20m for a 2nd choice keeper All i read sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted May 31, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 31, 2023 Tielemans would have been a great signing 2 years ago. Now he scores 3 incredible goals a season and...? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or he just completely downed tools for Leicester, and I wouldn’t want him if that was the case either. Hes a quality player, but the last 12 months he’s not looked at it.

Isn't he very injury prone Few years back I'd of had him, even now if he was showing the form when they won the Premiership, but by god his form has fell off a cliff, shadow of the player he once was, so I think be a no from me, even on a free.

RicRic Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 5 hours ago, CVByrne said: If we move on Chambers (and excluding Hause) we're at 6 defenders at the club, 3 CBs, 2 LBs and a RB. So surely another CB and RB need to be signed. Potentially we might keep Chambers and sign a RB/RCB type player and we're at 8. I do think Emery is thinking a RB/RCB/CM type hybrid player we see with City/Arsenal might be way we'll go. A different type of player. We clearly have gaps in the defence now but I've no ides what Emery has planned to fill those places He will just get a RB that plays RB and a CM that plays CM its not that deep we need a player for each of those positions anyway… i feel very sad today that young has gone he was the last piece of what nostalgia i had left as i was still in school during his first spell , which is quite unreal but thats that now, thanks for everything Youngy and i hope he comes back to VP so we can give him a proper farewell.

RicRic Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) This team under Professor Emery is definitely capable of securing a fourth place finish, with a new cm challenging mcginn and co. This would be a dream line up imo Edited May 31, 2023 by RicRic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustibrooks Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 This suggestion may get shot down but screw it, how about Scamacca? I know he has been poor for West Ham but I was watching a podcast that Antonio was on (Filthy Fellas) and he made a point. Moyes didn’t know how to use him(same with Haller) and I’m thinking if we needed a back up striker he might be a decent option. One of the problems though is West Ham would want to recoup as much money as possible for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
