When you look at that squad (I assume leaving out Luiz was an oversight), see how many of the good enough players were here when we got promoted and how many we had to sign, the facts speak for themselves.

It's obvious that if we spend as much this close-season as we did last, we'll be signing some stellar names for serious money.

I didn't leave him out, i just called him Douglas not Luiz.

I agree with the players you're replacing, but think we need more than one winger and a striker. I'd loan Davis out but not to anyone scummy.

a few of them can be fairly interchangeable to be honest, the 6th midfielder spot could easily be a winger or striker instead because Grealish can play as an 8 pretty easily.

So you did. As you're on first name terms, can you have a word?

I'd be aiming for a rught footer in midfield to improve on Hourihane. I like Connor, as even though he goes anonymous at times, he carries a threat. Certaibly good enough to be a squad player. But if we can get a dynamic right sided central player, then we'll have a very good midfield trio with McGinn and Dougie.

A wide player with real pace and a goal scorer with the same.

If there is money left over, then an experienced right sided centre half too.

It's a habit because I've been dealing with an Arsenal supporting friend who thinks we should swap Luiz's.

I don't think he's going anywhere but sure, I'll DM him on insta (is that even a thing?)
