Southmapton have sold Fonte, & now van Dijk is out for months with an ankle break.  Richards would do a job for them.

A crutch for Van Dijk to lean on?
Richards would be no good at that either. He'd be so far out of position every time, that Van Dijk would just keep falling over.

I wonder if there will be any more outs over the next few days. Westwood, Bacuna, Hutton, Richards all surplus to requirements, although Bacuna can cover a couple of positions.

still need a squad. The players mentioned might not get in the starting 11 but will probably still be needed at some stage

Jedinak
Lansbury - Hourihane
Adomah ------------- Bjarnason
Kodjia

Looks pretty good on paper. All of that front five can score a goal, extra width from full-back too. Jack and Ayew on the bench to mix it up. Still would like a striker, prefer Kodj playing off someone. But I suppose we're stuck with Gabby for now.

You would almost think there was a plan wouldn't you

Looking at the money spent now compared to last two Summers, it seems very much quality over quantity and something resembling a plan.

Having people at the club who know what they're doing...a simple and yet effective policy.

I'd have Grealish in and probably drop Jedinak. Still want that centre half, number 9, and shit off a shovel pacey wide man. The latter we won't get.

Guzan to Atlanta in the MLS.

That's a Brave move

Grealish instead of Bjarnson for me. And if we get him playing anywhere near his best, Ayew for Adomah.

For me Jedinak at this stage is a rotation player and someone you can bring on late in games to see out a result.

If Guzan is going to the Braves I hope it's not as a catcher.

I'd like to see us get another forward in, even on loan, sign up RHM and then I wouldn't have an issue in Ayew being sold for something stupid. I just don't see how he fits in now.
