Unfortunatley l think they will not buy or loan players in until the summer. More plyers out especially on big wages, Cas, Rash, Sancho, Harry, Urgarte, Zirkzee, Onana, Bayndir Shaw maybe a few more. Can see a few you lads being promoted and 3 to 4 new faces.

Shaw will not leave.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Harry offered another year. He's a couple of years younger than VVD and when fit has performed well. We'll have a bit more money to spend if we make it into Europe but, if not, we will have to concentrate our spending in midfield. About frigging time. A top CB's going to cost in the region of £25-£30m a year in pay and amortization. Harry will cost us maybe only £6-8m. Likewise Luke Shaw who has been a solid asset this year. Replacing him with a top LB will double the annual cost. and could you guarantee the new player would be any better? With Sancho out of contract it only save us the amortization since Villa are paying his salary this year.

Cas leaving will save us £30m in pay and amortization. Hopefully we can sell Onana, Ugarte, and Zirkzee. There's no guarantee we'll be able to sell Rashford. Barcelona have pay cap issues. It may end up being another loan, but at least we won't have any cost. If Hojlund meets the performance requirements in his loan agreement, which looks likely, we should get rid of his amortization cost and make a £15m transfer profit.

I think the players to leave will be as follows

Expiring contracts
Casemiro
Sancho- thank god
Malacia
Maguire

Players to be sold
Rashford
Zirkzee
Hojlund- obligation should be triggered.

Ugarte- if midfield replacments are sucesfull but he could stay due to the amount of work required.

Bayindir
Onana - neither of keepers mentioned are good enough

I know it sounds greedy but if we are to qualify for Europe mext season and have ambition to go further in all comps we realisticlaly need at least 4 starting level players for the midfield 2 spots.

So Mainoo and 3 new additions.

Hopefully 2 out of Anderson, Baleba and Wharton. And one more that can compete for a starting spot. Maybe the prospect we signed will be rotation.

Also feel we need a LW as well as a top CB and a back up keeper to get the squad something close to competitive.

Think them players leaving are a solid call Karl although I can see Maguire getting another year which I wouldn't be against we have the keeper from Bristol coming back from loan who I think is good enough to be number 2.
Baleba looks like he might be out first buy depending on money seeing as what was said in the summer.

If our Cb's can stay fit i would be happy if the summer focus was midfield like it was for attack this summer.

I wouldn't be against a Maguire extension for a rotation and leadership qualities.

I know its dreamland/football manager but my perfect summer would be.

Midfield- Wharton and either of Baleba or Anderson.

LW- Yan Diomande (think this guy is going to be very special)

CB- Schlotterbeck/ Bastoni.

Can see why Casemiro is leaving but hurts seeing him go before a few of the absolute crap here to be honest. wouldn't have opposed to a one year rolling deal for him.

I am hopeful that we will see another tranch of players leaving this summer and we go again with our recruitment. It looks like we will be in a far better position PSR related, actual cash to do deals who knows!

Hopefully we will see the sales of Rashford, Zirkzee, Hojlund and Ugarte. End of contracts for Casimero (was hoping we would extend for 1 year), Sancho (finally! ), Malacia. I expect Maguire to get a years extension on reduced wages and if we retain him, Martinez, Yoro, De Ligt and Heaven this gives us enough cover for the 2 centre back roles and a range of youth and experiece. If need be we can look at this area the following year with midfield the key focus of spend.

Mainoo I would expect to kick on now and settle more into a midfield that suits him and hopefully ups his game. Then we can look at a couple of quality additions (Baleba/Wharton/Anderson) to compliment/split game time across what will hopefully be a fuller calender next year with cups/europe.

You can’t discount Rashford coming back to play LW if his Barcelona moves didn’t happen depending on who our new coach is.

He’d also be useful as a striker rotation. Would save millions in the transfer market

I see no issues giving Harry M an extension on reduced terms. Great experience for a squad player to guide Yoro and Heaven.

The initial investment has to be at least 2 midfielders to replace Cas and Ugarte.

Casemiro Maguire and Bruno are 3 of the top 5 of our highest earners still on the books so it makes sense why we would want to move them on this summer.

Think Fernandes will stay on now, will need some experience and leadership with Casemiro leaving now. Would like to see the club look at the RB position although I guess Mazraoui could take the role for the season.

I think your can discount rashford. He has scored in 3 la liga games this season. Don't want or need him back.
Rasmus has scored in 3 seria a games. Pair of bluffers.

I think all 3 will go. Maguire most likely of the 3 to stay i think.

Rashford has scored 8 total and has contributed around 10 assists. Apparently Barcelona would like to keep him but they have financial issues.

Hojlund has 6 in serie A, plus a couple of cup goals.

As i said new name rasmus has scored in 3 league games as has Rashford.
It's not me need but they are not the solution to our problems.

Bruno is in 10 is the best there is. Keep him next 2/3 years for me. Rarely injured. Our best player since Fergie left without a date. Without him where would we be? He’s on big wages for a reason and so be it.

Casemiro gone, HM worth keeping another year. Weird the hate Bruno gets. Who is going to hit the ground running to replace his goals and assists?
