A couple of points:

Schelotto - contract up this summer, gone. Keep Bruno if he wants it and buy an actually Premier League quality right back. [Can be from either Germany/Italy/Spain but must be playing in the first XI of their respective team and not someone with potential from a lesser European league because our integration policy is shocking].

Percy Tau - CANNOT happen. Sake.

Izqueirdo - out until Christmas so buy a proven replacement and decide whether or not to add Izzy back to the squad in January.

Schelotto is contracted until June 2020, although he is likely to leave this summer, granted.

Good point about Izquierdo - he won't be named in the 25.

You've forgotten the Argetinian Scot on loan, that we bought in January. McAllister?

Will count as under 21 next season. OK, I mentioned Connolly and Gyokeres, but didn't list Sanders, Molumby, Mac Allister, Mlakar, Baluta etc.

Thanks BV - one of the best NSC threads and glad we can't start thinking about a Premier League 25 again for 2019/20.

PS: I guess DP is off to Ajax in the same sense that any player/transfer that is written about in the press this summer actually happens. Its not gone much beyond 1-2 speculative articles. He did comment on it unusually but in a very bland way.

Not sure why Button not highlighted and Steele is.

Surely, he is in the same category as all of the back-up’s.

We need some pretty extensive culling IMO and that would include Kayal.

Sure, even those not highlighted could go, it's a bit of a fluid status really. Just opinion at the end of the day - and I didn't really want to get too much into that - but Steele hasn't played a single minute on the pitch this season.

As for Kayal, he may well go as well. If Pröpper heads to Ajax, that means 3 new in central midfield - quite a recruitment task.

Barring Dunk/Duffy & possibly Ryan I don't think there's anyone in the squad that we "Couldn't" upgrade. I'd like to see Walton be given a chance to really put some pressure on Ryan next term. Realistically I'd suggest a new RB, a CM the ever elusive good striker and possibly a winger to replace one of the existing.

Yes definitely, Steele played (and excelled) at Bournemouth, though granted only FA Cup.

Helpful list though, I'd off-load Izquierdo as well, but given his injury that won't happen.

Our set up is probably too late for players like White (over 21 and very little experience of first team appearances) and we should try to address this to develop our assets. I think we should incorporate an U21 GK, CB, FB, CM, WM, ST in and around the first team and put 1 into the match day squad every game. This would give such players a chance of sub appearances but could create some difficult conversations with the squad players who may feel they are being over looked

Enough for 2 players per position for any formation we may play, currently 4-4-1-1 but potentially 4-3-3 or even 4-4-2 at moments during games. That could include space for a versatile player like a 38 year old defender who has played at RB, LB and CB during his years at the club as the 25th spot.

A squad then of:
Ryan, Walton
Montoya, New FB, Bernardo
Dunk, Duffy, Balagon
March, Knockaert, Jahanbakhsh
Bissouma, Propper, Gross, Stephens, New CM
Andone, Locadia

Supported by a group of youngsters who fill spaces on the bench in the absence of those above:
Sanchez, Hall, Kerr, Macallister, Sanders, Gyorkes & Connolly

Then the remaining members of our squad who step in as and when required:
Button, Bruno, Bong, Burn, Izquierdo, Kayal, Murray

A serious review of the squad is required. Pace/power and goals all significantly in short demand. We can afford to offload Propper etc and maybe a Dunk or Duffy if that means the squad rebuild is thorough and comprehensive.

Sanchez and Hall would both have to be named in the PL squad next season to play. They were both born in 1997 and the cut off for being an under 21 next season is anyone born on or after January 1st 1998.

Such a shame that players like that haven't had more exposure, they never really get a chance to show their ability
