I agree with this. The players have to prove they want it. The club should put Ziyech, Pulisic, Jorginho, Aubameyang and Gemma Collins in the Octagon. No holds barred. Last one standing stays.

My moneys on Gemma.

I'd back Phil Collins against them too

Just looking at a graphic of our squad on TV today, and it occurs that in order to make sufficient space for this project of recruiting young and promising talent to be successful we may actually need or wish to move on the following players:

GK - Kepa, Mendy, Bettinelli (2 out of 3)

DEF - Azpilicueta, Silva (with the keys to the city), Koulibaly, Cucurella (possibly if Maatsen continues to develop)

MID - Jorginho, Kante, Kovacic, Loftus-Cheek, Gallagher (possibly due to saleable value)

ATT - Ziyech, Aubameyang, Sterling, Pulisic, Havertz (Possibly due to German interest)

LOAN - Vale (possibly), Lukaku, Hudson-Odoi (possibly), Rahman, Ampadu, Sarr, Bakayoko

That would be 23 out (maximum). Leaving:

GK - Kepa, Mendy (1 of), Slonina, - Buy 1 possibly Sanchez

DEF - James, W Fofana, Chalobah, Badiashile, Humphreys, Chilwell, Hall, Maatsen, Colwill

MID - Mount, Chukwuemeka, Casadei, Santos, Zakaria (possibly), Simons, Hutchinson

ATT - Felix (If we can), D D Fofana, Broja, Mudryk, Hudson-Odoi (possibly), Nkunku

As we all know we would still look light in attack still.

Thoughts?
