Give it a few wins in August and we'd be demanding 150 mill for caciedo
And, if he's still here, Chelsea will offer £77m for him :lol:

Yes but my point to the other guy is that milner will still play if we are stacked in defence
You think so? I'd say we're even more stacked in midfield with Gross, Dahoud, Gilmour, Lallana, Ayari, Alzate + Caicedo/replacement. I can't really see a scenario where Milner starts in a midfield 2 for us

To help with this thread - There's an up to date squad list on this thread over there.

My expected gaps are
Left Centre Back
New Midfielder (Kudus ? ) if Caicedo goes.
Possibly another full back but Milner, Veltman, Lamptey (confirmed in RDZ plans and staying) Estupinan, March, Gross gives RDZ lots of options.

Proper cover for Ferguson, I still don’t believe that’s Undav. Unless Pedro can play there?
Very unlikely with Ferguson, Welbeck, Undav AND Joao Pedro (more likely to play that advanced no.10 role but can play there) that RDZ needs more cover there.

Expecting further loans out for Rushworth, Moran, Connolly, Zeqiri, Hinshelwood, Turns, Offiah, Samuels, Leonard, Khadra, Karbownik and Peupion.
But they always tend to keep 1-2 u21s to blood into the main squad OR 1-2 loans don't happen as expected - so perhaps 1-2 of them will be kept back.

I agree completely but lots of the wise owls on here won't.

I agree with all you say except I do suspect that Lamptey may still be sold and that RDZ's support for him is perhaps more man management and maybe even to make it look to potential buyers that we are reluctant to sell.

Or perhaps its just simpler to believe thats what he believes !

2 central defenders, at least 1 fullback, defensive midfielder and a 3rd choice keeper so McGill can go on loan and gain experience.

If you rely on Welbeck, you're going to be in trouble. I very much doubt he'll feature in many of our games given his injury record.
Yep. Alongside Ferguson, Undav and Joao Pedro we need a striker who we can rely on to appear in at least 25+ PL games, and provide at least 9/10 goals and assists in a season or we'll be in trouble...

er ....

like Welbeck in 22/23 - 30PL appearances in fact, like Welbeck in 21/22, and like Welbeck in 20/21.

A left-sided centre back that can ideally play left back too. I would expect Milner to play at RB and LB when needed. That would give us:

Veltman
Lamptey
Dunk
JPVH
Webster
NEW LCB/LB
Estupinan
Milner

We don't need more than 8 defenders, even with the extra fixtures. Any more defenders and the likes of JPVH won't get enough game time, and Milner will never play.
There's a Spanish lad at Chelsea who might be available. Massive hair.
