One final letdown to end the 2025-26 season
I’d kickstart the exodus by offloading the French contingent - Gusto, Badiashile, Fofana, Disasi but have realistic expectations (£20m max) by way of individual transfer fees.I’d quite like to see how Jackson pairs up with JP in preseason before axing the Senegalese but if there’s a good offer…From our forward line Delap and Guiu need to be moved on but that should be easy enough to recoup the initial outlay?The geegees Garnacho and Gittens both turned out to be one trick ponies and will need to go, for a loss in both cases.So that leaves the slim squad below to be supplemented by the academy.Goalkeepers - Sanchez, Jorgenson, Slonina, Penders, TeddyDefenders - James, Acheampong, Chalobah, Colwill, Tosin, Sarr, Hato, Cucurella Midfielders - Caicedo, Fernandes, Santos, Lavia, Essugo (one of these will be sold)Forwards - JP, Jackson, Palmer, Neto, Estevao, Mudryk (?)I expect very, very few incoming players given our finances now compounded by a lack of European football. Given the debt servicing we’re more likely to see a high profile player sold to balance the books and keep UEFA off our backs rather than incoming players. We’ll hear terms such as becoming a club with a leaner profile from our bloated SD pool. Whilst positive about Alonso’s appointment, I can’t help but wonder what assurances he received over player transfers and how long this new honeymoon period will last.
