Squad Depth 23/24 Season

[Mod]

Last season a big complaint all round was our squad is too big. Frank said it was a problem and we heard players having to sit on floors, Cobham was crowded, etc.

If someone wants to do the maths, haven’t we just replaced even more players than what we’ve sold on, with more rumoured to come in.

Without European games this season, and even less games to look to, are we not going to be on the same boat again with some really good players just falling by the wayside?

Well, the question is being answered; loans!

Lewis Hall and Casadei rumoured to be the first loaned out!

Yep basically this, although you've mixed up LW and RW  

With striker it also depends on whether Vlahovic comes in, I imagine Broja goes out on loan in that instance which might not be a bad thing coming off a bad injury.

This and maybe keep angelo 

I'd keep him instead of signing a new winger tbh

Squad depth is something that is very hard to discuss as we really don't know what the target for the season is.

If we wan't to challenge for every title, we are wayyy too young and inexperienced for that. 

My main concern here is: The club is building for the next 5 years, Pochettino is building to win right now. Because the club is buying 18 year old players like mad and Pochettino is saying a club like Chelsea needs to win and try to win every time they enter the pitch. These two things really don't meet for me. 

Pochettino has said he needs 2 players for every position + a couple of utility players and youth pushing. To achieve this we need to sell, loan out and buy players before the window is shut. Keepers ok, D's okay, MF short, Attackers short. 

This side can challenge for things but in no way are we capable of challenging City. Arsenal can have a bad season as can MU. But City is so far ahead there is no reason to talk about challenging them. Liverpool will also probably be among top 3. Newcastle and Tottenham could also do very well...
