Well I'd keep the core base if I could but obviously a lot depends on who comes in for who and how much so it's hard to factor that in until it happens. So I'm just going to assess as if no one comes in for anyone and if we sell anyone then we have to replace them
GOALKEEPERS
KEEP - happy with the current set up of Roefs, Ellborg and Moore.
SELL- Patterson as he wants to play first team football which is fair enough.
LOAN - Young, let him keep playing and learning so he's ready to slot in our squad in next couple of seasons.
BUY - No need to buy here unless we sell anyone and have to replace directly.
DEFENCE
KEEP - Ballard, Aldrete, Mukiele, Reinaldo, Hume. O Nien if he is happy dropping back further as a squad player as I'd want to bring more strength in depth in across the defence.
SELL - Cirkin will go on a free. Aleese, Hjelde, Pembele, Huggins aren't going to make it but obviously depends on anyone wanting them. Masuaku needs to go to.
LOAN - not sure how well Seelt has done away, might be worth another loan but I think he has one more season before a decision needs to be made on whether he is good enough for the squad.
BUY - Overall I'd bring in a LB and two CBs who can challenge our first team players. I'd buy Geetruida I'd he will come.
MIDFIELD
KEEP - Xhaka, Sadiki, Rigg, Le Fee.
SELL - Diarra of we can, he doesn't fit or needs to really show us something. Aleksic, Browne arent required so if suitors come then also sell.
BUY - CM to challenge the first team lot and cover injury.
WINGERS
KEEP - Talbi, Ta Bi, Angulo. Two of the lads are new so still hard to judge them. But as they had injuries guess we won't see until next season.
SELL - Adingra, Mundle - they aren't making it so be better for them and us. Ba if possible
LOAN - I'd send Mayenda out on a loan to the Championship where he can play week in and week out.
BUY - I'd give Troare another year or he wants to stay. I'd be looking for another RW and LW to challenge for first place.
FORWARDS
KEEP - Brobbey, don't need to explain why.
SELL - Isidor, he's looked disinterested lately and think he wants away. We need to upgrade her. Rusyn obviously.
LOAN - Abdullah I - this lad needs to play and see what he's got.
BUY - Two forwards to replace Isidor and Mayenda would be the main priority for me.
So all in all:
LB
2x CB
CM
LW
RW
2x F
Think that would be a very good window of strengthening the full squad. Not all these need to be big signings. Just lads who can come in and play at this level and improve on what we have. Some could be good prospects or older experienced lads on the way down.
Obviously if we sell any main players that has to be accounted for.
