The squad next season should be:
Pickford
Joel
Baines
Keane
Jagielka
Mori
Holgate
Coleman
Kenny
Gueye
Davies
Sigurdsson
Baningime
Klaasen
Vlasic
Dowell
Walcott
Lookman
Tosun
Niasse
DCL
Onyekuru
22 Players there : Add 3 or 4 quality additions in the right places, and get a forward thinking manager in
That would allow us to offload:
Stekelenberg
Martina
Williams
Schneiderlin
McCarthy
Besic
Bolasie
Sandro
Rooney
Mirallas
and a ruck of the 'kids' that aren't ever going to be good enough (Pennington, Galloway, Garbutt, Tarashaj etc)
Christ, this squad
Think there is very little point in keeping Jags and Niasse as players like that need upgrading if we are going to move forward next season.
Jags has done a job again recently as you would expect him to do, but surely it’s time to replace him.
Niasse is never going to be a first choice so we need an upgrade on him too.
The squad is way too big and there are too many players all vying for similar positions.
First team should be built around Pickford, Coleman, Gana, Gylfi, Walcott and Tosun IMO.
We have a few good kids in Davies, Holgate, Beni, Lookman, Vlasic, DCL and possibly Onyekuru, all worth keeping.
Jury still out on Keane and Mori.
The rest are probably easily dispensable.
