This is the squad :

Goalkeepers (2)
Jordan Pickford (HG)
João Virginia (UA)

Right Backs (2)
Séamus Coleman
Jonjoe Kenny (HG)

Left Backs (2)
Lucas Digne
Niels Nkounkou (UA)

Centre Backs (5)
Yerry Mina
Michael Keane (HG)
Mason Holgate (HG)
Ben Godfrey (HG)
Jarrad Branthwaite (UA)

Midfield (7)
Allan
André Gomes
Abdoulaye Doucouré
Jean-Philippe Gbamin
Gylfi Sigurðsson (HG)
Tom Davies (HG)
Fabian Delph (HG)

Wide Forwards (5)
Richarlison
James Rodríguez
Bernard
Alex Iwobi
Anthony Gordon

Strikers (3)
Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Moise Kean
Cenk Tosun

If we sell the players the majority want rid of, the squad looks like :

Goalkeepers
Jordan Pickford
João Virginia

Right Backs
Séamus Coleman

Left Backs
Lucas Digne
Niels Nkounkou

Centre Backs
Ben Godfrey
Jarrad Branthwaite

Midfield
Allan
Abdoulaye Doucouré
Jean-Philippe Gbamin
Tom Davies

Wide Forwards
Richarlison
James Rodríguez
Anthony Gordon

Strikers
Dominic Calvert-Lewin

That leaves us needing :

1 GK
1 RB
2 CB - 3 if we want to play 3 at the back
2 CM
2 WF
2 ST

Basically, we are going to need to retain some players, cos we aint buying 11 players this window.

Yeah but if we enter that latter squad into a league at Goals in Speke then it's ending the wait for a trophy mark my words.
 

The thing with Doucoure is, he should be used to get into the box as a third-man runner (his goals this season prove that).

He's not great on the ball, so it's so frustrating to see him collecting the ball off the defence (because nobody else is doing it maybe). Literally all he should be doing is winning it back, popping it off, and driving forward into space. That's what he's good at and with our quality (loosely) out wide in Digne, James even Gylfi etc, we should be able to get him into those positions.

As much as it's on the individual players to take the initiative, I can't help but feel it's again showing up Carlo to be a bit clueless with how to get the best out of what limited options we have in that department. Doucoure has spent as much time at right-back this season as he has attacking midfield.
It's because we have no legs anywhere else he has been tasked with multiple roles. If we had another box to box or physically dominating DM he could be freed up more?
 

Absolute bargain that they are light years ahead of us in recruitment
They have way more appeal than us. We may have finished above them in recent seasons but they've actually won things and made Europe more than us in the last 5 or so years. To a foreign player, Ancellotti aside, we're nobodies.

What are everybody's thoughts on Dele Alli as a gamble on a midfielder that certainly used to know how to score goals until Mourinho got hold of him? (Puts on tin hat)
