I think in
Pickford Coleman Zouma Mina Digne Gomes Bernard Ricarlison Walcott we have 9 good players
Add a top quality CF and a quality DM who can carry the ball then we are not far off competing for top 6
Add Siggy Lookman ( if he gets his head right ) Henry ( if he gets a permit ) Dowell Connolly Davies DCL ( after a loan period ) and we are starting to look at top 4
It’ll take time , a whole lotta time and a whole lot of money
So you are writing off Coleman and Walcott who had been one of our best players@catcherintherye
I'd say that were very short on player quality.
GK: Pickford

RCB
LCB
LB: Digne
DM

LF: Bernard
CF: Richarlison

Those 4 look class + Mina is pending. So if he performs well then we have 5 players out of 11 who are at a very high level.
Add in Zouma and Gomes and 7/11 sounds promisimg.
The reality is that we lack a DM, a CM and another forward player at this moment in time, all of which are key positions.
With Silva, players either need to step up and perform to his system or they will be moved on and replaced. Its as simple as that.
I'd rather finish 10th and totally revamp the squad (with players of the same quality signed this summer) than land in 6th and only make limited changes...
Ideally we need to finish as high up the table as possible (obviously) and yet recycle most of the squad whilst playing a new system.
Its not easy.
No matter what happens we really need to hope Brands can work his magic and bring in 2 starters in Jan and lets see how Onyekuru performs too...

I've put it down as a bad day at the office. Lets look at some positives:
We had 5 shots on target
We kept 11 men on the pitch
So you are writing off Coleman and Walcott who had been one of our best players
Rome wasn’t built in a day Zat and all we need at the moment is a DM and CF
GRanted in a year or so we may need to replace one or two but I’d rather do it slowly with a plan in mind
Agree wait on Henry And see if Lookman gets his head right but I’d rather spend the 60/70 m inn a CF of top quality than buy 3 or 4 players to replace lads whose only fault is they are 30 years of age
You appear to have included Pickford.
A GK that concedes at least 2 goals a game.
And Bernard who has played 20 minutes in the league.
Utterly comical.
Since his injury Coleman hasnt been the same...i also dont think Walcott is at the same level as any of the players i listed.
If youre saying to replace players in "a year or two" then thats when their values will be lower...
Lets say, hypothetically we have £60-70mil as you wrote.
We sell Sigurdsson (£25mil), Walcott (£20mil) Schneiderlin (£15mil) giving us £120-130mil.
Neves (£50-60mil) Lozano (£40-50mil) and Zakaria (£30mil).
Transformation.
I'm happy to amuse.
We've gotten 1 point in two home games against teams that will be in or near the relegation zone. Our home games are pretty much the only place we expect to win as our away form is just awful. That's what worries me. If we have a "meh" home record, this could be a very difficult season..
