Who gets a reprieve?

[goodisonopheliac]

Bolding the ones I'd keep.

Squad total of 38

Keepers 4
Pickford - and for the love of crap, we need a consistent goalkeeping coach, because having three different ones this season can't have been good
Robles
Stekelenburg - get rid
Hewelt - is he good enough for first team yet?

Defenders 13

Baines - good for one more season
Keane - don't know
Williams - GET RID NOW
Jagielka - see Baines
Coleman
Mori - undecided
Browning - undecided
Galloway
Garbutt
Pennington
Cuco - under no circumstances should he stay here
Holgate - maybe
Kenny - maybe


Midfielders 9​

Schneiderlin - get rid if he continues to be a douche
Rooney - past it

McCarthy
Gana
Baningime
Klaassen - not sure
Besic - injury magnet, get rid
Davies - loan him out
Grant - don't know enough to comment, maybe​

Attacking Midfielders 8
Bolasie - IMO he's done now, stick a fork in him

Mirallas - not with that attitude, begone Kevin
Walcott​

Sigurdsson

Vlasic
Dowell - maybe​

Tarashaj - who?
Lookman - PLEASE get him back, if anyone deserves squad time he does

Forwards 4
Sandro - nah
Tosun
Niasse - as an impact sub
DCL

@MoutsGoat Zat stealin’ yo format.

 

[McBain]

Honest question here... I see Davies being listed almost unanimously as a keeper by those who approach the question seriously.

I don't see it with him. I understand he's young and will grow into his body more, but his technique looks like crap on even short, what should be easy passes to make.

He looks lost often to me, but fair to say the manager possibly deserves some of the blame.

He just doesn't look the part to me, he's not technical enough on the simplest of things and the game looks too fast for him in my opinion. When the greatest positive is that he's young and going to grow physically that's a sign to me that a guy just doesn't have it.

Plays in midfield mate

You'd keep Galloway, Garbutt and Pennington but not Holgate and Kenny?

You listed Besic as an injury magnet but would keep McCarthy?

[Brisan123]

Just edited my previous response to you Zat.

I'd retain Keane and Mori and then buy another CB and pair of LBs.

Dave last summer and last January proved that there are no LB’s left in world football
If we sell Baines it’s Martina at LB

That's who I would keep, with 15 players out.
Sign a first choice LB CB (Left-sided) CM (over 6 foot) and then a Striker or LW depending on who is the manager. Cant see us shifting 15 players and signing 4 first teamers in a million years though.

​

Quite frankly I think we need a huge clearout of 21 players.

5 new first choice players
3 Rotation players


This is going to be a very long or a very exciting summer depending on the Manager and DOF.

Was the question again

You would keep Sandro but get rid of Niasse. This is Niasse who was completely ostracised by Koeman, but has still scored 8 goals this season (as many as rooney, our top scorer, has from open play) in a team that often had 1shot in a game and off very limited pitch time or Sandro, who has gone back to Spain and struggled to make an impact there as well (I think he has 1 goal this whole season for us or Sevilla).

 

[Raino85]

Agree with your list @Zatara but I’d give Keane a chance under a different manager until January at least. And I’d like klaasen to be given a crack under a more attacking manager.

The rest can do one.

I picked 19 i think, and the 2 missing from Zats list were Keane & Klaassen, thats still pretty big considering we may want to bring in 3 to 5 players too.
Maybe ditch Niasse too

 

[Ihaters]

We already have Bolasie for unpredictable dross.

Nah he's pretty much always meh

 

[goodisonopheliac]

Tbh those two are undecided. Macca is based on his performance against West Brom.

 

[McBain]

Goalie is sorted.
Need two back ups. Bin the current two.

Keep Baines, must get a new first choice LB and a bring up a youngster.

CB. First get Williams out. Stevie Wonder can see that needs to happen asap. Then you have Jags, Keane, RFM, Holgate and Pennington? Just signed a new deal so they figure hes a late bloomer I guess. Loan? I liked Holgate but is he ready for the centre? Probably. We all wanna get rid of Jags apparently so that leaves Keane and RFM as 1st choice. Holgate and *new player as back ups. Id keep Jags as 5th choice but maybe thats coz ive never minded him. Keane tho. Not a fan atm. Browning Galloway Garbutt bye bye.

Coleman and Kenny on the right... Martina as a distant 3rd choice until his deals up? Dont really want to see him again for us tho.

Keeping Beni, Davies needs to develop more... Schnieds maybe stays but I wouldnt lose sleep if he got sold, Gana stays .. McCarthy look at him once recovered but on the edge. Besic, good change of scenery for him this season but probably should go. Klassen I just dont know.

Keep Theo, Lookman, Vlasic and Gylfi
Obv. Bolasie can go. Dowell? Sure but ready yet? Fine. Mirallas, its been real. Ciao.

New striker. Keeping Prince O and Tosun. DCL i got a lot of time for but has to get finishing. Sandro? Look if he was keen and suddenly looked a prospect again but cant see him sticking around tbh.
