Next seasons squad

[BigChiv9]

so our LB is Souza (19), Udogie (23) , Robertson (32) and Davies (33) ?

why not someone 25-30 instead of Robertson and Davies. Everton's Mykolenko should be affordable and they need to sell. Another is Leipzig's LB Raum who is in his final year of contract. Leipzig players should fit De Zerbi ball well.

Still not sure why we offered Davies another contract but my understanding is that one of the reasons for signing someone like Robertson is to build the level of experience and professionalism in the squad. Plus isn't the argument against signing a left back in his peak years that it blocks the path for the development of Udogie and Souza? That's exactly the reason some people are saying that we shouldn't sign Van Hecke and play Vuskovic instead.

I still think people forget the tough experiences that this group have gone through in these last couple of years. We won't struggle for leadership after they have come out the other side. RDZ will make sure that happens, just like Poch did.

Are you suggesting we sign a 5th left back?

Watching Madueke play for England yesterday makes me feel we need to do more to make our club an environment whereby our youngsters truly believe there is a road map to our first team. Because it does not seem to be there at the moment.

I think the start is to give Lankshear, Devine and Vuskovic places in our 25 man squad next season.

Assuming we sell Dragusin and Romero, and that is just an assumption, I do not see the point of keeping him this season when we have Van De Ven, Senesi, Van Hecke and Danso and we are not in Europe.

How many playerd do you think we would have to sell to enable Devine get meaninful minutes.

I definitely agree in relation to Lankshear.

Our current squad makeup is evidence of shoddy squad construction.
