^^I think Lindelof was pretty much in the door at Everton before we moved for him.

Nah, he turned them down though Fiorentina were interested if he'd take a pay cut.

But that does suggest that he was specifically waiting for an offer that he thought was worth accepting, rather than the contract he accepted from us being the first thing that landed in his lap.

He'd set his heart on the move to Florence - who wouldn't? In fact everything was agreed according to reports yesterday from the Fiorentina president but at the last minute a deal they expected to go through failed so they had to drop the Lindelof deal. As he said himself “We embarrassed Lindelof, but it was all tied to the departure of Comuzzo, who chose to say no to Al-Hilal.”

I didn't realise he'd made 27 competitive appearances this season. Maybe it wasn't such a bad deal afterall but to snap him up on the last day of the window and pay such high wages wasn't us looking after the pennies.

maybe he could get some form out of Calvin Phillips? We need cover at DM and he was excellent at Leeds.
Good God man! Have you lost your mind?

Kalvin-Phillips and Grealish. It isn't 2021.

Ha! I can't remember the last time I heard Calvin Phillips' name mentioned, if fact I've probably heard David Batty's more recently and he's living on a farm as a recluse somewhere in the middle of the Yorkshire Dales.

Goalkeepers:

If Martinez leaves, try to get Trafford, or maybe Dean Henderson

Right Back:

Get Mingueza on a Bosman as back-up for Cash.  Sell Garcia and Nedeljkovic

Left Back:

Not a priority unless a decent value/high level left back becomes available.

Centre Back:

Keep Konsa, Lindelof and Pau.  I think Tyrone's time is done.  Senesi would be a great free pick-up, especially as a backup for Pau, but I think he'll want to be first choice somewhere.

We definitely need cover on that left-side though for Pau's usual winter injury. 

Midfield:

Keep Kamara, Onana, Tielemans, Barkley.  Don't make Dougie permanent.  Sell Bogarde if a good offer, but not a necessity.  Definitely need another 2 midfielders though, especially as ours are made of biscuits.

Attacking midfielders/wingers:

Release/sell Sancho, Elliott, Bailey.   Get Wilson in on a free.  We need to also add a player with pace. 

If Rogers goes, we need a big-ticket replacement - Gibbs-White would be incredible, but probably out of our price range.  Julian Brandt available on a Bosman would be a good value option.

Forwards:

This is going to be tough, because I don't think Ollie/Tammy is a good enough combination for a CL/Premier League campaign.  We need another top level striker, or an up and coming one whether or not we keep both of them.

Sell Guessand

Sell/release all those players we keep sending out on loan and won't make it here - Dobbin, Barrenechea, Gauci, Iling-Junior.
