GK: Pickford / Olsen / Virginia / Lössl

RB: Coleman / Kenny

LB: Digne / Nkounkou

CB: Keane / Holgate

CB: Mina / Godfrey / Branthwaite

CM: Allan / Doucoure / Gomes / Sigurdsson / Davies / Delph / Gbamin / Besic

RW: James / Iwobi

LW: Richarlison / Bernard / Gordon / Bolasie

ST: Calvert-Lewin / Tosun / Simms

TOTAL: 30
I wouldn't count Simms, as he's yet to make the bench this season so it's 29 really.

Loessl, Besic and Bolasie are surely on their way out soon and I think we'll let Branthwaite on loan if he's fit. If not, he'll go in winter.

Then we have the magical 25 number.
 
Still need a striker. Must be someone from Championship coming in, otherwise releasing Kean makes no sense.

Won’t be popular here. We can’t sign anyone other than those from the Championship. That leave us Josh King. 9 months left in his contract. Can play in the front 3 and do a job as back-up. A small fee like £10m with £2m add ons will do. 2 years deal with a year option.
 
If Godfrey turns out and Olsen is only an average keeper, we will have done bonkers business this window for an amazing price. We dont need a top keeper right now, we just need an average one. With just an average GK we probably have only given up 2 goals and have a GD of 10.

It would literally just take one more window like that to turn the squad into one of the most imposing in the league. Think about next season our squad looking like:

Goalkeepers:
Virginia
SUPER GK

Defenders:
SHINY NEW LB

Coleman
Holgate
Godfrey
Keane/Mina
Branthwaite
Digne
Nkounkou

Midfielders:
Allan
Gbamin
Doucoure
Gomes
NEW UP AND COMING CM
Delph

Forwards:

Richy
James
DCL
Gordon
SUPER WINGER
DCL's competition
Iwobi

Plus, we would have sold Mina/Keane, Pickford to pay for moves and freed up money from Tosun,Bolasie, Bernard, Besic, Siggy.
I see 2 flaws in your cunning plan
 

Won’t be proper here. We can’t sign anyone other than those from the Championship. That leave us Josh King. 9 months left in his contract. Can play in the front 3 and do a job as back-up. A small fee like £10m with £2m add ons will do. 2 years deal with a year option.
King would be ideal. He would do a job when called upon and he can play across the front three so he'd be cover for both Walcott and Kean. He's also different to DCL which is nice. Maybe send Branthwaite the other way on loan

Hopefully we can negotiate a small fee since his contract is up in 9 months too. Can do a job for like 2 years and we will see if Kean will come back.
 

The Wilshere deal is an interesting one.
Has this happened before? Wonder what percentage of his outstanding contract they settled on?

Could set a new president.
We’ve all known for decades that football finance is out of control, unsustainable, lunacy etc.. this pandemic may well be the final straw for a lot of clubs, here & worldwide..

A few clubs with billionaire owners still splashing cash, but the market for players on big contracts on the way down will be severely limited.

How many Championship clubs could pay even half of what Tosun, Bolasie & Besic will be on?

Wouldn’t be surprised to see players pushing for termination settlements now & taking their chances as free agents.
Edison Cavani would like a word mate lol
