Whilst I actively dislike a decent proportion of our squad, I think we have to accept that moving on a lot of the bad eggs is going to be very, very difficult given the potent combo of limited ability and huge wages. We also can't expect to move on 15+ players in one window, it just doesn't happen.
Already gone:
Stekelenburg, Baines, Garbutt, Martina, Sidibe, Dowell, Schneiderlin, Hornby, Niasse. That's a damn good start, we'll miss absolutely none of them bar Baines and it's criminal that they were all on our books. 9 out.
The following offer less than nothing and need punting:
Tosun, Baningime, Lössl, Pennington, Besic, Bolasie, Sandro. About 300k p/w in wages there on absolutely nothing. 7 more to go.
And that's before we get to anyone else. Walcott is limited on huge wages but he's our best right mid by a mile. Sigurdsson has fallen off a cliff and needs moving on but Carlo likes him, as per a report from the Athletic. Same source states that he likes Delph too so he's probably going nowhere. Iwobi only arrived last year for big money, again, going nowhere. Pickford will also stay, although I like to think we'll punt on an experienced keeper which would relegate Pickford to number 2, such as Sergio Romero.
Reading between the lines then, who else can we get rid of to help with FFP who also offers very little? That leaves Bernard, and local lads Davies and Kenny. I'd sell them all and try and sign a new first choice RB. 3 more out.
So, that would be 19 players out. It won't happen because it's almost impossible the shift the likes of Sandro and Tosun, but this has to be our priority number one. What I certainly wouldn't do, is make many expensive signings who would potentially add to the dross listed above and be stuck on huge wages for a 4+ years, we cannot afford that. We're in a precarious situation thanks to Walsh et al, and we can't afford to add to our woes.
I'd absolutely be looking for loan moves, the odd freebie, young lads ala Branthwaite, and for the best the Championship has to offer. Picking up players who are eager to prove themselves will serve us far better going forward. Go for the likes of Watkins, Benrahma, Buendia, Brooks, King, Aarons, Cash, etc; perhaps not them specifically, but you know what I'm saying. The only exception I’d make is to spend big on a centre mid as it’s cripplingly obvious we need at least one, but we need to get it right.

Now you're just moving the goalposts.
5 weeks is more than enough time to sign a few players.
We will 100% have new players in the starting line up first game of the season

Gbamin won't be near ready until at least November/December at the earliest therefore we need atleast 2x CM's even if one is on loan until we see what Gbamin is about.
I’m sure we will mate.

Now that ake has been confirmed to city, stones will definitely be off, reckon we should go for him? Would youse have him back?
Would definitely have him back me if the price was fair. Maybe even a loan with an option to buy to see if he can stay fit etc

CorSport - Ancelotti soffia Gabriel al Napoli: c'è intesa totale con l'Everton. Obiettivo Allan per il centrocampo
Il difensore Gabriel, di proprietà del Lille, valutato come possibile sostituto di Koulibaly, sembra dunque indirizzato verso Liverpool, sponda Everton.

Arsenal fan tv just did a video saying he has chosen them over utd
For that reason I really hope he doesn’t go to Arsenal

Him and Pickford at the back doing Cruyff turns and sticking tongues out at each other would be horrendous.

Hahaha be funny at the same time though.
I like stones myself, got mad moments in him but what better manager to get that stuff out of him then Carlo. Would be wary just outright buying him like, think loan to buy would be a good deal all round.
