It’s pretty obvious the squad needs an overhaul. If it was up to you, which players and/or staff would you be looking to offload?

With a heavy heart I would add Lamptey to this list. He just simply isn’t able to stay fit.

TB … go for it.

Lamptey
Webster
Milner
Steele
Veltman (my favourite player, but legs gone?)

Thankfully no more Lallana or Fati. That’s a huge wedge in wages.

Webster, Steele and Moder aren't up to the standard,

Hate to think the combined wages of Milner, Lallana, Webster and Fati

Steele. Lamptey. Webster. Milner.

Lallana to a coaching role if he wants it, but I suspect he'll have equal offers from Stains and the bin dippers.

Fati back to Barca.

I think we will be saying tearful farewells to Pascal Gross and Joel Veltman as well

I was going to mention Gross. I don’t want him to leave let me make that very clear! But it would definitely not surprise me if he did this summer.

As much as I will get slated for this, all of the above plus dunk. We need a new leader on the pitch

Blimey. I was expecting a few curveballs but certainly wasn’t expecting Dunk.

Who would you suggest the Albion get to replace Dunk? If he can be replaced in quality then okay to sack Dunk.

Where is this magic player tree? Because some of those exits leave a serious experience gulf and massive positional weakness and another bunch of south American kids won't be enough.

He must miss Caicedo and Mac like hell, they did the heavy lifting, leaving PG to score, create and bamboozle any opponent.

I think there will be a clear out. De Zerbi will stay. About 7 from the first team squad will move on.

I think we'll buy a similar number in

Understand the point but I think football has changed now. Many more players break into senior football at early ages and therefore are ‘experienced’ well before their 30’s.

To explain my point. Tonight was Phil Foden’s 264th senior game for City and he is only 23. He’s not a kid he’s an experienced player. Obviously he’s world class and way above our level but just using him as the example as we played them tonight.

There are plenty of players across Europe in their mid-twenties with bags of experience. We just need to stump up the money to get them in.
