So, there are 21 games left of this miserable season. We're finishing about 8th-10th I reckon at this rate. We didnt strengthen the areas we needed to in the January window so a massive rebuild is needed this summer.
For the sake of the argument lets say we at least get some new owners (full sale or partly), and that we have some realistic funds available. Hell, even the Echo says we have some money to spend.
Players out of contract:
Adrian, Ox, Keita, Milner, Firmino.
Firmino will probably get a new deal. Not sure about Milner. The rest can leave.
Players that could potentially be sold:
Fabinho, Matip, Phillips, Henderson, Gomez
I'm guessing only Phillips and one CB and CM could actually be sold.
Henderson will probably move on to a Milner type role next season, and Gomez has more resale value than Matip. I'd rather sell Matip though given he'll be 32 next season.
Players in:
Bellingham, Matheus Nunes, Kouadio Kone, Evan Ndicka
Hopefully we'll get the Bellingham deal over the line and it still sounds promising.
Matheus Nunes is probably already done if rumors are to be believed.
Kouadio Kone could be the perfect 6 for us going forward. Gladbach want 40 mill.
Ndicka is out of contract this summer. Left footed CB, 6'3 and can play both CB and LB. 23 years old and will be a great signing for whoever gets him.
What would you do this summer? In the realms of reality and no FM style approach.
