My take on how many players we actually need between now and the start of next summer. Not gonna be daft and say we are gonna have two 11s of quality players with a group outside that say like you have at the biggest teams over here either, but just so that we have a squad capable of playing a full season whilst able to rotate, deal with injuries and suspensions etc without a huge drop in quality.
Keeper - Pickford, Begovic another tear (he's third choice and almost a coach in truth) need to add a capable backup as ours wants to move on
Experienced backup needed (4)
Fullbacks
Left side - Mykolenko, need either a starter and Mykolenko switches to backup or a backup to Myko
Right side - ---------------- need a starter and someone who can cover (unless Patterson remains as backup)
So need 3 fullbacks, minimum one starter and two quality backups
Centre back
Assuming Jarrod stays, we have O'Brien, Branthwaite, Tarkowski, need a fourth choice so either a veteran stop gap or a young player with big potential.
So one CB needed - 4th choice
Central mid
Assuming Gueye signs a one year extension on reduced wages, we have Tim, Garner, Gueye, so we need two out and out centre mids, Gueyes ageing our, Tom is an unknown quantity still, Garners had a lot of time out with injuries. So for those three central positions we need more like 3, of which one has to be better than we have already, one can be experienced cover and one with big potential (these can be around the current level we have)
3 needed - one guaranteed starter, 2 capable of battling it out as a starter.
Wide players
Assuming we make Lindstrom permanent, keep McNeil, then we need two players that are capable of playing wide one each side
2 Needed
Striker.
Assuming Dom leaves, Beto is sold, we need two starter quality ones assuming Chermiti stays and gets healthy.
2 needed one at least as good as DCL one capable of pushing the starter
Basically we need 12 players, a couple of those spots 'can' be covered by utility players, so a second striker could be a Richy type who can also play wide etc, same with fullback which at best can reduce the number down to 'maybe' 10 needed AND this is under the assumption that both Gueye and Lindstrom are retained .
But across the middle we need for those five positions at least two - more likely three starting quality players. Need a starting CF, need at least one starting FB (more realistically two needed).
Keeper and 4th choice CB are no problem and won't cost much, a couple of utility players like (Harper, Richardson) would massively ease the pressure on the rebuild too.
But breaking down the squad as I listed it may be going into the summer
Pickford, both CBs (Branthwaite/O'Brien/Tarks), one CM(Garner), Ndiaye and Lindstrom.
I'd say we have maybe 6 positions right now we could feel ok with those being a starter come next season, that's a hell of a lot to cover in one summer, we genuinely need to remove the problem by filling a minimum of 3 spots this Jan with one being a lock in starter quality and the other two being at least of the quality needed that I've stated.
The less we do this window btw, the greater the likelihood we end up retaining players not good enough on a tear extension.
Paid over the length of the contract I expect, so about £120k now. Basically covers Doucs contract for one week!!

Think Goat is more refering to 625k translates directly to PSR - means we have an extra 3m or so on top of whatever we had. Given also that it's January a boost of 625k ups our spending power regarding PSR by roughly 6m more available room - once the contract is amortized.

I know we’ve had a managerial change but I can’t help feeling let down by our transfer dealings so far. We’ve got new owners and we are desperate for two new full backs, right winger and CF. I know people will say wait till the window shuts, but we needed to be proactive as soon as the window opened. Not scratching round in the last week hope to get the odd deal done here and there.
An option that will remain available.

Moyes wants to check everyone out though which is to be expected. It is frustrating but I'm sure we will do some business, I worry more about his dithering in the summer given the amount of rebuilding that needs doing.

Starting to feel more like we won’t sign anyone and they will wait for the major rebuild in the summer
They probably feel that under Moyes this team will survive relegation even without any further additions to the squad

Garner is not Good enough and he’s certainly not box to box, he’s steady on the ball but not creative enough.
If Garner is starting then we will be a weaker team than we are now.
