2 players for each position:
GK - Robles
LB - Baines / Garbutt
LCB - Jagielka / Mori / Galloway
RCB - Stones / Browning / Holgate
RB - Coleman
DM - Barry / Besic
CM - McCarthy / Cleverley
AM - Barkley
LW - Kone
RW - Deulofeu / Lennon
CF - Lukaku
This is what things "should" look like by the summer with new signings added on top, as most posts on here recognise we need to improve the squad in the following areas;
GK
RB
Playmaker
LW
Forward
This means that these players could be moved on:
Howard -
Hibbert - Contract expiring
Oviedo - Contract expiring
Gibson
Osman - Contract expiring
Pienaar - Contract expiring
McAleny
McGeady
Mirallas
Naismith
We supposedly had money for Yarmolenko and through selling 'some' players in Jan should have a decent pot which we can use to sign 2 players and possibly a loan.
In the summer we should get in a new keeper and another player and a loan.
That would mean 10 players out and 5 players in over 2 windows. Better to have 5 players who can make the first team than 10 who wouldnt get a game but take home decent wages...
People don't understand the need for depth at all. They seem to figure we can sell all our backups for small fees and buy one top signing which is naive and ridiculous.
