Maatsen has been so much better defensively recently but we still need:
Back up keeper / one to push muric
Left back
2 cms
Winger/10
Striker
Players to leave
Peacock-Farrell
Franchi
Taylor
Thomas
Bastien
McNally (loan or sale to Coventry)
Twine (loan
Churlinov
Jay rod
Barnes (undecided if he’s warranted being kept around)
Richardson
Weghorst
That's a ridiculous list and would leave us under a huge amount of pressure to make as many signings as we did last summer - especially when you consider Maatsen, THB, Beyer and Tella are all on loan.
BPF, Taylor, Bastien, Twine, Jay and Barnes have all been in and around the squad this season so to write them all off is a little OTT in my opinion. None of them will be starters but could well do a job as squad players.
Of the rest...
Franchi needs a loan for experience.
Thomas and Richardson aren't realistically going to be good enough and will likely move on.
McNally could yet be a squad player next season - it all depends on who we manage to bring in once THB and Beyer have returned to their parent clubs.
Churlinov seems to be on the fringes and will likely move on.
That leaves the big unknown. Wout Weghorst. What do we do with him? He's an International striker currently holding down a starting spot at Manchester United. Who else in our squad would start for them every week?! Whatever has happened in the past is in the past. Do we cash him in or bring him back into the fold and see how he responds?
