It’s probably a little too early to speculate on forced departures this summer; players that will cost rivals a lot of money but where we’ll believe it’s best for the club to sell.
However there are some gaps in the squad that will need filling. Whilst RDZ will have a good look at players like Alzate (who I think is nailed on for next year’s squad), Moder and Kozlowski, I think the following areas really need addressing:
Estupinian back up:
He is so good, we have no player putting pressure on him for his position and if injured/suspended, there is no player to do his role in a similar way.
LCB:
It’s going to be tough to keep Colwill. But Chelsea literally don’t need him. However, they’ll want a buy-back to sell and we won’t agree to that. We need a left footed ball playing centre back as a priority.
Caicedo back up:
Yes, we have Ayari and Gilmour but I think we need a stronger, faster more dynamic player to break up play in midfield if Caicedo leaves or is injured/suspended. I really like Onanna at Everton but he is probably well out of range, even if they go down. I suspect the club have some realistic targets though.
Mitoma back up:
Done. We’ll surely bring in Simon Adingra.
March back up:
Buonanotte, Sarmiento and Enciso can all do a job on the right but perhaps we might sign another boy wonder to help back up that position. One of these two who are linked regularly with us for me:
