I think we need to start with the rule of 'do not sell your best players'.  Matty Cash is one of those and will not be easy to replace, so let's keep him.  Him and Digne give us solid full backs.  The centre halves have not impressed too much this season though, including Konsa. 
ok done.  What next?

Wouldn't mind us signing Christian Eriksen.

You'd think that's more or less made up for him to return to Spurs. Given the history there and that Conte was Inter manager when he moved there.

Didn't sign him in January.

I expect that a free Eriksen who hasn't kicked a ball since he nearly died last year, and a free Eriksen who has just had a very successful half-season in the Premier League are two very different propositions.

Conte rarely played him whilst at Inter so I’d be surprised if he went to Spurs.

It started that way, but I think he came in a lot at the end of the season and was quite important to the title win in the last couple of months if I remember rightly.

Put the kettle on!

Edit, I honestly didn't realise he'd signed a new contract today.  I have been out all day and hadn't seen it.  Great news.  Sorry Chris.

Yep, he completely turned it around and was pretty vital in the 2nd half of the season when Conte didn't get the transfers he wanted in January.

Not just the shoes, the entire outfit looks like someone who sleeps in a box in shop doorways, I'm not sure why you'd choose that as your look.

These fashion types must see daft footballers coming.

Our squad for next season....

GK Martinez/Olsen(Steer)

RB Cash/ KKH
LCB Konsa/Chambers
RCB Mings/ Hause (or potential new player)
LB Digne/Young (I'd prefer Targett or Chrisene)

DM Nakamba (Bissouma/Phillips)/Iroegbunam

CM McGinn/Ramsey/Sanson/Chukwuemeka

L/RW Bailey Traore

AM Coutinho/Buendia

CF Watkins/Ings/Archer (Newbie)


My guess is a couple of more defensively minded midfielders with a 4-2-3-1 or 4-2-2-2 and more akin to Southgate playing two defensively minded midfielders that can drop in to the full back space (which let's face it he likes) and allows the full backs to be wingers.

I'm surprised he's not tried three at the back with his desire to push the full backs forward and not having the midfielders to drop in defensively.

I’d say if we’re going to have any chance of reasonable improvement it’s going to need a top quality left sided centre back to scrap it out with Mings, a top quality defensive mid and a second good one as well, plus Coutinho or a top quality alternative.
Better GK cover, an attacking midfielder alternative to Ramsey and a top quality centre forward wouldn’t be overkill either.

Are they just a designer version of those plastic-bag shoes you wear on new floors?

Be useless at the swimming pool.

Agreed, if he's going near a pool he'd be much better off in these. https://www.bottegaveneta.com/en-ie/puddle-grass-809933048.html

Unfortunately they're not available in claret.

Fair enough, you researched them a bit more thoroughly than I did.

It's still early in the SS22 season but I'd imagine they have. You might be out of luck though if you were looking to pick up a pair in pink for the missus. https://www.harveynichols.com/brand/bottega-veneta-/448030-puddle-pink-rubber-ankle-boots/p4105321/
