I can see wolves getting a bit better, a lot depends on how they can manage the squad for the early Europa stages but I think they'll be there or there abouts too.

Wolves problem is 10 of their first 11 played 30+ games this season. 9 started 30 plus. At least 3 or 4 played 35. You can't do that when you start in July and play twice a week. They need serious depth.

Everton 'preparing for possible Pickford exit' - Have 'contacted' €20m goalkeeper's agency

It looks like Everton are the latest club to join the race for the Barcelona goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen. The claims come from the Portuguese press today, who have been following the player’s situation for a while, since Benfica were interested in signing him this summer. But now newspaper A...

Interesting bit from RBM's write-up on it:

Interestingly, Cillessen is represented by SEG (Sports Entertainment Group) who are also the agents for a number of primarily Dutch or Holland-based players. Everton’s Director of Football Marcel Brands has previous experience with dealing with SEG, and some of the top players they cover have been linked with the Blues before - Memphis Depay, Stefan de Vrij, Kasper Dolberg, and Kevin Strootman. So are these rumours about contact between Everton and SEG really about Cillessen, or one of the other players?

The fact that we havent signed any of those players speaks volumes.

File under bullshine.

The problem is we arent making enough in your scenario to come anywhere close to making up the difference. We are probably set to lose 20 on Bolasie 10+ on Cenk and Walcott and maybe close to that on Niasse too. To also get no real production from any of them is terrible business.

I’m interested to know who you think we should sell, how much you think we could realistically receive for them and where you think we need strengthening?

You seem to be against selling the players we can actually sell for decent amounts.

I would only sell them if we could get more. 15 million for a 21 year old who scored double digits in an ok league isnt enough quite frankly. If we can't get more than stick them in the team. I know none of them have shown they can play at this level but I also don't think any have shown they can't.

Continuity is a meaningful thing in football. We will improve more if we add 4 or 5 players in key areas and only sell far fringe players than if we bin off everyone not in the first team and try to find new first teamers. Think about the changes from first to second year under Koeman. I understand the youngsters are the best assets but to me it's keep them or keep McCarthy, Niasse and that group.

I’ll have a go.

Vlasic seems to have high stock. Maybe £20m?
Onyekuru. I’m interested in him but if he can’t play for us what’s the point? Again maybe £20m plus?
McCarthy. Surely needs to move on. £10m? Not loads but a bit of cash.

Other than then we’re probably talking big losses on nearly everyone else who is worth selling. But to be honest I’m ok with that.
 
I reckon we should go for Willian of Chelsea. If we also keep Niasse, then I can see them playing up front together. It would give us maximum penetration and be the sort of combination that would be lethal when we come from behind.

In fact, we should bend over backwards for Willian Niasse.....

In all seriousness, we should go for Zapata of Atalanta. Prolific this season and will keep Yerry company. Failing that, Mariano of Real Madrid. Going to be so difficult to attract a top proven striker..

You haven’t really answered what I asked but thanks for the reply anyway. I think we need to sell them and get rid of the deadwood as well if we’re going to be buying a top class centre back, right back, midfielder, winger and striker that we need. Unless you’re suggesting we either don’t need all of those or are expecting moshiri to fund it all?

How much can we receive? Probably not enough to make it worth selling all 3. I'd say 25m should be the lowest for any of them.

Who should we sign to strengthen? Hopefully Zouma returns. Gomes would be nice too but that's price dependent imo. Striker obviously. Right back would be nice. And a creative winger, right or left doesn't really matter but apparently we want a left footer so ideally someone like Malcom. So XI the same as the end of the year but new signings instead of DCL, Bernard and Coleman. On the bench is those 3 plus one of the young winger trio, Davies or Schneiderlin, Mina and Lossl.

Edit: And who should we sell? All the loan players over 24 can go. One of Morgan and McCarthy but not both. Tosun at a smallish loss. No real reason to throw away 10m+ already. And as I said big offers for the other ones maybe. My clear out would only be the deadest of wood for now.
