Didn’t realise he only had 12 months. I don’t know what to think on Dowell. Be interesting to see what Silva/Brands call is.
When you look at that squad, it’s scary just how much surgery is needed. Will take 3 windows minimum.

Hmm, he might aswel be given a 2 year extension and then loaned then.
..it gets to a judgement point on these youngsters where you have to play them or sell them. The decision to give a new 3 year contract to Matthew Pennington seemed ludicrous at the time and even more so watching his performances in pre-season.
Extend by a year would be my decision. Loan him out and reassess his progress next summer. If there isn't substantial improvement then sell him.
..if that’s what Silva wants, then fine. I think Dowell has said he won’t sign a contract if he’s not going to be involved.
..I have my doubts he’d sign under those conditions but I might be wrong.
Shhh mate, remember, we never, never pay over the odds for a player, it's only every other club in the prem that does that.

“He (Richarlison) is a player who will give us good pace and good intensity in our attack, he is a player who can play in three positions in attack, of course, more on the left or on the right but can give us very good things.
“He is different to what we have in Lookman and Kevin (Mirallas) as well and will bring different things for us.
From Marco's quotes it sounds like maybe Kev is in his plans and Bolasie/Walcott aren't?

The only ones out of those four players who would deffo be guaranteed a start would be Coleman, Pickford whilst good enough would have competition for a starting place. Gana no, and Walcott, deffo no.
Centre backs are one of the hardest positions to judge as how good they are entirely depends on the style of football they are asked to play.
People raved about Michael Keane - who when asked to do anything but very deep defending and shot blocking looks terrified.
Benitez and Moyes play systems that are great for centre backs. Two banks of four, force teams to go out wide and cross and head away the chances.
Mangala was a £30m signing and talked about as a guaranteed star and now looks shot.
Zouma played 20 times for Chelsea (practically every game until he did his knee) when they won the league a few years back, winning the league cup final playing in midfield. Then played in a chaotic defence under Hughes where everyone looked dodgy, when the new manager came in and organised things he looked really good again.

Maybe he's just talking about the other left sided players in Kev/Lookman? I assume he's on about Richarlison.

I think I'd only disagree on one or two of that, which when you look at the list is scary.
