Goats squad analysis thread 2024/5

[Gwladys St. Glory]

We paid 12m for him after a season in which he scored 8 goals, hes got 6 this season in limited game time, if he goes I reckon we get 10m+.

£6m, max...like others, it's like trying to max profits on selling your busted up Ford Pinto. They say there's a sucker born every minute, but I dunno. A position of strength will not be our forte soon.

 

[Aberblue]

Didn't we give him a 5 year extension not that long ago?

Wasn't that under Ancelotti? Keane's with us until the end of next season.

That Premier League tax is real fam.

Anyway, we will probably loan him out again, cos thats what we do.

@Goat Ok, £5m with addon's maybe £7.5M; I suspect suitors won't have much buying power.

3 wins on the spin with the RS bummed along the way, Safety, and now GSQUAT ‘24

 

[Delargeinho]

Sell:

Onana 50m
Doucoure 10-15m
Maupay 10m
Branthwaite 70m

If possible players that extend not willing to extend in 2025 or keep (Godfrey, Keane, DCL especially)

Extend:
Gueye

Debateable:
Coleman

Let go:
Danjuma, Harrison, Young, Gomes, Alli, Lonergan

Get in subs:

1 starting CB
2 RB/LB (back up)
1 CM (Onana)
1 creative midfielder
2-3 wingers

I guess we will have 50-60% of the selling value maximum, means to spend 50-80m, optimistic value.

Goat, surely we have to include Harry Tyrer, although he'll probably go on loan again

3 goalies max IMO - what are we doing including Crellin here, Goat?! Trying to bulk up the squad with reserves

I think Longers will leave, so yes we need 3 GKs, I suspect Tyrer or Crellin will replace him.

Or maybe both will leave and we get another oldish GK for number 3.

But its a fair point.

I think we extend Gueye, and look for a cheap deal for Harrison.

The rest are probably going to go. Especially Gomes and Dele who are too expensive to keep.

Hopefully we sell Holgate, Keane, Maupay and will probably have to sell Onana.

I’d like to see a few youth lads step up. Are Onyango, Warrington, Welch, Mills good enough to come in and provide some cover? I’d like to think Mills especially after his loan could cover both full back positions.

We’d then need two wide forwards a centre back, and a central midfielder.

I think a first choice RB will be priority.

[EFC_FRANCIS]

Not sure getting on the pitch should be a criteria...as you say, most of us know the names. But. Ebere, mills for example haven't/ can't be on the bench. Therefore, no chance of getting on the pitch. Though could be potentials for next season.

I'd love to see Warrington get some time before the end of the season. Something about him. Despite a crap loan.

Ebere can't even get in the U21s. If he's making squads next year then somethings gone drastically wrong
