I hope the hierarchy will get busy here.

If we can find a buyer for Shaw and Zirkzee and get anywhere near £30 million for them combined I’d be ecstatic although at the same time I wouldn’t be bothered if Shaw stayed as a back up as left sided centre back as I think much like Mazraoui does as right sided centre back Shaw would excel on the occasions he is actually fit.
 
Eriksen, Casemiro, Rashford, Dalot, Lindelof, Bayindir, Malacia, and reluctantly Garnacho.

Reckon we'll end up keeping Antony and Zirkzee through lack of serious offers.

There's already rumours of a 60m bid from Atletico for Garnacho. That's quite a tricky situation. Obviously one of the most talented players at the club and one of the 2-3 best performers last season (Mainoo, Dalot). Could become a superstar player, could also not kick on. Main question really is will he fit into this formation/tactic properly, or does that nullify his positives. It's a big enough bid to make you wonder, but I'd personally rather keep him.
 
Theyll probably double down and ditch another 250 catering staff, cleaners and various other people earning something close to minimum wage.

For 60m I'd say take the money and reinvest. He's an awkward fit in this formation and though he's showed a ton of promise, is far from a sure fire player at the top level.

I'd be sad to see him go ahead of about 90% of this squad, but realistically there's not a huge amount of sellable assets in there at the moment.
 
Lindelof, Evans, Rashford, Bayindir, Sancho and Eriksen will all go. Maguire will likely have to take a pay cut to stay, I think Zirkzee will go back to Serie A as well.

After that there aren’t many players it’s financially viable to sell. The exceptions are Garnacho, Dalot and Martinez and be interesting to see if we would accept bids for any of those.

I think Maguire will get that extra year triggered in the next few days. Another 190K per week until '26. The alternative is to lower his wages and give him a longer deal, and that would really be unpalatable. I'd rather have a player who can run and doesn't take 3-4 touches on the ball every single time, but we've got so much to do, and Amorim made it work with Coates (although, it is a very different league environment) so maybe it'll be OK.
 
I hope they all go except for De Ligt, Mainoo, Ugarte, Amad, Yoro.
 
Expect we'll be open to selling pretty much anyone, so hopefully a fair few decent offers come in for half a dozen players over the next month. The more business we can do the better
 
Think we're at a point of willing to listen to any acceptable offers. There's no-one that's not for sale....Mainoo, Garnacho, Bruno.... If there's money on the table that can be reinvested for the benefit of the squad/team then pull the trigger.
 
Who would we actually consider not for sale? I would go with Maz, Amad, Yoro, Ugarte, Martinez, De Ligt, maybe Mainoo at a stretch. Wouldn't feel bad if I wake up tomorrow and find out we have agreed to sell anyone else from this team.
 
Pretty much anyone is available I would imagine but the obvious priority has to be those who have no realistic future here. I doubt we will be able to move Lindelof, Eriksen or anyone else with an expiring contract in this window as they will probably want to hold out for a free in the summer but others like Malacia and Rashford need to be moved on with haste.

Some of the newer signings will stay either through a mix of potential promise or simply because due to amoritization it would be difficult to move them on already and stay PSR compliant.

Surely you’d keep Mazraoui too ? He’s probably been our best player over the whole season and I’d keep Hojlund as a back up striker as well as Martinez but I agree on the rest mate

Even if Garnacho end up become superstar, 60m is no brainer if the offer comes. That’s a lot of money to reject for someone who hasn’t been developed yet, has been in disciplinary issue twice (first one was with ten hag in pre season), and there is uncertainty whether we can develop him in this Amorim’s 3421 system. The money would also boost our budget as he’s from our academy product.
 
Mazraoui, Ugarte, Amad.

I’d listen to offers for anyone else.

If he gets a new contract i will give up on this club.
 
I cant see a future here for Garnacho. He's not a wingback, he's definitely not a number 10 and he certainly isn't ever going to be a striker in Amorim's set up.
Best to take a good offer if we get it.

The ironic thing is is that in a few years time when we sack Amorim we'll need a winger for our new manager. And Garnacho will be first in our transfer list.

I find him very 1 dimensional. He’s not going to be any of those things and unless the opposition push really high up the pitch exposing themselves to his pace he is an empty shirt. Theres nothing more to him than there was Dan James in my view except that he is Argentinian and a bit more trendy.

I remember we got big offers for Januzaj that we turned down. I'd take 60m.

He was described as 'the jewel of Athleticos youth' when he was there. I dont remember that kind of praise for Dan James.

Seen similar praise levelled at all sorts of players who never turned into jack shit tbh. Hes had a good amount of football for us now and is 20 years old but still looks just as rough round the edges as his debut. Got legs and a bit of flair and zero football IQ.

I actually think that until we stop building our attack around the likes of him and Rashford we are never going to play any sort of decent possession based attacking football. If we are going to insist on keeping players like him, Rashford and Bruno then employ a manager who sits in a low block that allows Bruno to fire hail marys in behind for those 2 or else sell the lot and back the manager with people who can pass and move
 
At least, our top earners who are not good enough to be regular players like Casemiro, Maguire, Rashford, Mount, and Antony must go.

I would consider to sell Bruno if there are good offers because no players should be getting above £250k pw. The decision to improve his contract in the summer was ridiculous especially considered that we did it in INEOS regime.

Yeah, me too. And I was probably in the camp then that under no circumstances should we sell. If it were as easy to know their character and drive, as it was to observe their undoubted talent..
 
Disappointing if true, but hopefully he'll increase his value

Looking on there, the only players (aside from Amass, Collyer and Gore who haven't played) I'd actually like to see stay are;

Mazraoui
De Ligt
Yoro
Amad
Ugarte
Mainoo
Garnacho, if he pulls his head out of his arse.

The rest are either shit, past it or will never be good enough.

Add Rasmus and i agree. I think it's unfair to expect a 21 year old Who feeds on scraps to be able to excel in this team.

We do need an experienced top striker though and let Rasmus develop without the pressure of being our main striker.

I disagree. He isn't good enough. The most basic footballing skills seem a struggle with him. His runs are poor. 18 months here now and he can barely control a football when it's passed into him. He excels at nothing.

We're not a charity either. He doesn't get to be an apprentice striker who gets to learn for 4/5 years after we spent £60 million on him. Shit or get off the pot.
 
Crazy that anyone would allow Mainoo to go. He's come through the youth system and had a great season at a young age. He's had a tougher second season yes but you let the new manager work with and develop him, you just make make sure you aren't as reliant on a 19 year old.
