AWB_________________Lindelof________________Varane________________Shaw

__________________________________McT

______________________Fred_________________Pogba

______Sancho____________________Rashford_______________Martial



Squad: Romero, Pereira (J), Dalot, Smalling, Matic, Perreira (A), Lingard, Lukaku, Chong, Greenwood, Tuanzebe, Garner, Laird, T F-M

Sell/lose Hererra (I'd keep if you could but looks unlikely), Mata, Jones, Valencia, Rojo, Young, Darmien, Sanchez

I honestly think with this team you'd make top four easy next season and the season after, once everyone is settled and used to playing each other you could make a run for the premiership. The huge advantage you have at the moment is the amount of youth already in the team which gives everyone a chance to develop together and give you a stable squad for years to come and with a DoF targetting young break through players like AWB, Sancho, Rice and Callum HO etc and adding a couple a season as needed, you could have another period of domination.

I think the future could be very bright for you lot!

I'm not sure I'd be happy with this or underwhelmed

 

[PGLFC91]

I've done this before but I get so much enjoyment out of pretending to be a manager so here goes:

OUT
Romero £7m
Darmian Free
Valencia Free
F-Mensah Free
Rojo £13m
Bailey £25m
Herrera Free
Mata Free
Sanchez (no fee so team taking him can cover wages)
TOTAL: £45m

IN
W-Bissaka £45m
Alderwerald £25m
Allan £40m
J.Sancho £100m
R.Sessegnon £35m
TOTAL: £245m

Then that leaves you with teams such as:

DeGea
Bissaka Alderwerald Lindelof Shaw
Matic Allan Pogba
Sancho Rashford Martial

Henderson
Dalot Smalling Jones Sessegnon
McTominay Pereira Chong
Lingard Lukaku Greenwood

Solid first team. Shite enough overall squad.

 

[Havak]

GK: De Gea, Romero, Grant
DF: Wan-Bissaka, Dalot, Shaw, Young, Koulibaly, Smalling, Lindelof, Bailly, Jones
MF: Pogba, Doucoure, Matic, Fred, McTominay, A.Pereira
FW: Rashford, Sancho, Martial, Lukaku, Lingard

+ Greenwood, Chong, Gomes, Garner, J.Pereira etc.

We might sign one extra CM if they're of high enough quality (or give Herrera a new contract if it can be agreed at more around the £100k a week region).

I'm not sure what will happen with Fosu-Mensah and Tuanzebe, maybe given another year on loan to see if they're worthy of a place, if not they could just be outright sold this Summer.

Darmian, Rojo, and Sanchez are the only players that could leave that will give us any kind of money back. We'll probably do well to get £50million~ out of the sale of these three and I think our Summer spending will be under £300million even when we take player sales into account. Net spend of somewhere in the region of £240million~.

[deadrevelz]

Some of these predictions are silly... even if we don't buy a RB we're not going to be starting Young. It will be Dalot, Jones, Smalling or Laird.

 

[Wallez]

My Football Manager-style XI:
De Gea
Wan Bissaka - Varane - Lindelöf - Shaw
Rabiot - Rodri - Pogba
Sancho - Lukaku - Rashford

In: Wan Bissaka (40 mill), Varane (70 mill), Rabiot (10 mill), Rodri (60 mill release clause), Sancho (100 mill)

Why are people gone off dalot

I don't think he has shown anything that suggests that we can rely on him as our first-choice RB from the start of next season. Offensively he is good, but defensively he hasn't looked very solid. If he is to be in our best 11 next season, he has to push Young to the bench soon and show that he is ready

Ever the optimist:

————————De Gea———————

AWB——Lindelof——Varane——Shaw

——Saul——— Rice ———Pogba——

—Sancho——Rashford——Martial—

Priorities: CMs, RW, CB, RB
Luxury: A lethal ST

I hope you're right. I don't understand the "lethal striker" though. You mean you want a top striker as substitute ? Which top player would accept to be on the bench ? Best options I think (if Lukaku leaves) would be to make Alexis our substitute 9. Or buy an experienced striker who would accept to be Rashford's substitute.

[buckooo1978]

if we could shift Matic, Sanchez, Darmian, Rojo, Valencia, Mata it would provide a real blank slate for Ole to build something

I think we may well see a few well known players come in but we're bound to see a couple of young prospects

Gonna be a huge summer

[DSG]

So let’s see... Recently, we’ve had the following squad members rumored to leave in the summer:

Pogba (150m)
Lukaku (60m)
De Gea (50m)
Herrera (free)
Bailly (35m)
Mata (free)
Darmian (free)
Valencia (free)
Rojo (10m)
Grant (1m)

Players we might sell
Jones (20m)
Smalling (25m)

Players we want to leave:
Sanchez (loan, we pay half of his wages)

Leaves us with
Rash
Lingard
Martial
Matic
Fred
Lindelof
Sergio Romero
Shaw
Dalot
Young
McTom
Andreas

Loan returnees:
TF Mensah
Tuanzebe
Pereira

Reserves promotions
Greenwood
Chong

Only 17 returning... that’s too much turnover, we’d have to bring in 7 quality first team options just to have a decent sized squad. Difficult to execute, much less scout the right players

On the other hand, we’d raise 350m, when you add another 200m, that’s 550m to spend...

Koulibaly: 80m
Umtiti: 30m
Rabiot: free
Saul: 80m
Sancho: 150m
Joao Felix: 120m
Icardi: 50m
Bruno Fernandes: 40m

Total: 550m

Get to work Woodward. Sayonara Pogba, Lukaku, DeGea, Sanchez eat all. Thanks for achieving Europa, League Cup and second place.

Sorry, mistakenly posted in the Lukaku thread... should have been here

 

[DSG]

Sorry, mistakenly posted in the Lukaku thread... should have been here

That leaves us with

Romero
Dalot. Koulibaly umtiti Shaw
Rabiot Saul Fernandes
Sancho Rashford Martial

Bench: Matic Icardi Felix McTominay Lingard Lindelof Young Fred Greenwood Chong

Of course this will never happen. Not a lot of protection for the back 4 either...

 

[ForestRGoinUp]

It is so hard to predict this, not knowing if we get CL next year, Pogba/De Gea/Lukaku/Herrera genuinely might all be off. I'm coming around to the idea that this could turn out a real mess. But I want to predict something slightly less dramatic than that.

Romero
Meunier - Koulibaly - Lindelof - Shaw
McTom
Neves - Ndombele
Sancho - Rashford - Martial
​

Sancho could go for closer to 200M than 100M if we don't make CL (out of desperation and the Pogba/DeGea revenues). Scrap for top 4 with Lingard still seeing a ton of time. No real leaders so you could envision things slipping away from Ole a bit if the results don't go his way.

Squad/Subs : Henderson, Williams, Sessegnon, Jones, Matic, Fred, Garner, Gomes, Chong

I suspect Pogba with go to Real Madrid and we'll insist on Varane coming the other way. The three amigos are also likely to go this year, Herrera to PSG, Mata to Barca & DDG to Real/PSG. Ole will put his faith in youth. I would like to see an experienced midfielder come into the fold, maybe Kroos, but cant see him wanting to come into a young side, but could be wrong.
