For next season ...
I think we'll lose fringe players in the summer. Alzate, Propper, Izquierdo, Tau, Connolly, Walton, Jahanbaksh
There will also be returning players from loan, who we will have to find a club for. Duffy, Locadia, Ryan, Bernardo
There will be a few on loan now, who we will sell. Molumby, Ostigard, Gyokeres
A few we will loan again. Richards, Roberts,
In goal, I think we'll be looking for experienced back up for Robbie
In defence, largely as you were, but Clarke adding extra cover
In midfield. Similar again, except we should and will sign a left wing back. Caicedo and Karbownik will be fringe players
Up front. I think we'll reintegrate Andone and go into next season with him competing with Maupay and Welbeck

Didn't Chelsea pay 80 million euros for kepa? He was a 24 year old back up GK for spain. Most of his experience was on loan at lower league clubs too. It was mad of them to pay that much but it does happen.

(It's a possibility- heard some rumours from Arsenal suggesting the same- sounds like a deal in Jan was closer than we might've realised)
No chance, if we sell , we would be waiting to see who is interested, we won't be takmy the first offer.

What do you think the fee will be?

Agree with these but the reality is we simply won't get rid of that many players.
No. It really wont be a hammer blow.. He is by a country mile our all time number one keeper but Ben Roberts will have that covered. No worries about that at all.

Pretty sure Bissouma will be gone. Moder ready to step in there and hopefully Caceido breaks through. I’d actually say the very last thing we need is more midfielders unless they are wide players. The squad is way too stacked in the middle.
Absolutely essential, exactly like last three transfer windows, that we get a better striker and decent left back cover. Without these we are still going to be all fur coat and no knickers over a season.
Depends on the offer, time left on contract, player, manager, many things.
Look at the timing of the Moises deal. And Biss making odd statements on social media (eg the clock/timer post). And his performance drop off.
Could be wrong. We’ll find out end of the season.

Roberts can't keep goal himself
If we do sell Biss it will be for a fair price that’s for sure.

I think the key is getting rid of higher earners not contributing for various reasons. Izquierdo, Andone (injured). Ali J, Bernardo, Propper (not quite good enough), Locadia (utter sh1te). Those 6 probably all within our top 11 earners. Replace them with a top notch striker and a pacy LWB (Sessegnon?) and we’d be laughing.

I thinking along the lines of if Lallana had spells out next season.
The player’s a class act, creatively he makes us tick and drives us forward with his instinctive attacking game.
We miss him sorely when he doesn’t play.

The reason I ask, is that I don't think Arsenal have anything like the amount of money to spend on a player that we would ask for Biss
I've a sneaky suspicion that PSG might be the team to worry about

I’m not going to get carried away. Newcastle were shocking. You can only beat what’s in front of you and we played very well.
IMO we still need a striker, I like Welbeck and it shows us what having a striker with presence provides but can we rely on him not to break down again? Too risky.
We also need a player who can deliver a consistent set piece. Maybe thats Mac.

Biss to Liverpool. A work colleague(bin dipper supporter) is absolutely convinced they'll take him

Don’t get me wrong, Ben White has done well this season but well enough for a big 4 club to come calling with an offer we can’t refuse in a post COVID depressed transfer market? I really can’t see it.

Totally agree.
We would let a player leave to a top 4 club, assuming they wanted to leave. But I just don't think the money is around. We'd want at least what? 40 million? 50? We turned down 25+ before he'd even played a league game.
It's been a shit year, for everyone, but could work out in our favour in this instance.
