We’ve lost fern and while he’s been gone an age Mendy also keeps dry us short a Lb. We’ve been short a striker since Aguero went. This all adds up to us needing to bring in without having to send out at the same pace.
I’m sure if we get a great offer for players who don’t play every single big game, we’ll listen, but if not I don’t think we’re desperate to push anyone out the door.
As it stands we need one to leave to make room for Fern's replacement (leaving Bendy out if it.)
Do we? Fern’s replacement will replace fern. Haaland replace torress. Alvarez the hole from Aguero(that kane would have filled) and then mendy can be replaced by whoever. Or squad is really small compared to most other teams.
We're allowed 17 free list players + 4 Home Trained + 4 Club Trained over 21. Only Foden qualifies in the last category with the other three places currently unfilled so 21 places available (4 Home Trained first):
1) Carson, 2) Grealish, 3) Walker, 4) Stones, - Free List - 5) Sterling (HG), 6) Ake (HG), 7) Steffen, 8) Ederson, 9) Cancelo, 10) Zinchenko, 11) Mendy, 12) Dias, 13) Laporte, 14) Rodri, 15) Gundogan, 16) Bernardo, 17) De Bruyne, 18) Mahrez, 19) Haaland, 20) Alvarez, 21) Jesus
One has to go for a new LB (presumably Mendy) & another to create a place to replace Fern unless we use Academy players in the senior squad.
