I know everyone in the next manager thread is shitting themselves over the lack of transfer funds, but I feel like we are probably a little bloated anyways and even without selling Kane could still make £100m ish just selling those we don't need. Kane leaving whilst sad, represents another good chunk of spending that we could do with.
So yeah, I'm not trying to derail the thread, just stating that we can generate funds and could stand to lose a few players.
I agree with this to an extent. I don’t think we will raise as much money as you think we will selling on our deadwood, but sell it we must. We can’t afford to pile more players on top of the ones we have already, like you say certain positions in the squad are unbalanced. We have way too many wing forwards for example.
I will be quite content if we move on the likes of Lucas, Lamela, Winks, Sissoko, Dier, Sanchez, Aurier etc. We won’t necessarily need to replace all of them, so long as we bring in one or two quality players and supplememt the squad with youngsters.
