Brands & Silva press conference.

The numbers will be important. I cant see us trimming down in one window to about a 23/24 man squad. There's a lot of talk about 35 in the squad now and I can see them shifting maybe 8/9 out and bringing in three to four players on *reasonable* wages. It'll take a few windows to sort out the mess Koeman left here.

Don't forget, of the 38 theres a lot of players who we wouldn't even realise had gone..
 
It's why logically, for me, making Dowell, Lookman, Kenny, DCL, Davies, Holgate integral to that key 23 man squad and getting key players to help around them

this ^^^ is what will be going on.

them lot, with 3 or 4 old heads, very good ones at that and we have the right formula.

when I say old heads, I mean internationally experienced pro's around 27-29ish

the pennington deal must of been a big joke by fat sam at the end of his reign..

'here lad, even tho you cant get in leeds team have a 4 year thousands a week deal'

he wont be going anywhere ,cos no one will match the wages.

ridiculous
 
I don’t think there will be a limit on the number of players we can shift out. There’s a lot of room to cut this squad right down and replace with youngsters and a few new signings.

Pickford, Stek, number 3 goalie

Coleman, Kenny, Holgate, new CB, Keane Pennington, Mori, new LB, Robinson.

Gueye Baningime Davies Dowell Siggurdson new midfielder, new midfielder

Tosun Walcott Lookman Calvert Lewin Niasse, Vlasic new wide player.

That’s a 26 man squad and that only accounts for 5 new signings (presuming the third choice keeper may be internal or Robles stays).

Would we miss any of the players not included on the above list? No. There’s be takers for them too and a whole load of wages taken off the books. It would be a great chance for the youngsters to establish themselves as key squad players and actually utilising the talents of Lookman Vlasic Holgate etc.

Midfield -- McCarthy / Tarashaj / Grant / Mirallas / Besic / Klaassen / Bolasie / Schneiderlin / Rooney

26 players there....

Can easily imagine around 20 going...

wouldn't miss a single one either.

seriously

how is our squad soooo big and soooo bad.

that list reads like a league one squad
 
Just watched it now before seeing any comments.

Felt like everton wanted the press conference more than the two of them. Brands looks like a man you wouldn’t mess with tbh. Marcel is not as good as martinez in his chatter, which to me is a positive as he looks like he’s here to get the job done and not one to bull
No one will ever be as good as Roberto in the chatter.

Of that list I wouldn’t be surprised to see us maybe keep Sandro and Pennington. But yeah, you can make a case for that sort of number going and we wouldn’t be worse off. Would give Silva and Brands the chance to stamp their authority on the squad that remains and get rid of his boys club culture.

If all of those players went...I think Marcel would be hailed as a hero.
