To be fair if he was to stick about instead of taking 100k wages I'd have huge respect for him We won't even start looking to buy players until July. Could probably do with another season of the Mo Man seeing as Hayden's meant to be getting shifted.
Currently it's looking like we could have a rediculously thin squad everywhere apart from CB. I'd be looking to keep him on for another year.
Mike logic.... Sell Hayden for £10m and sign Diame on for 2 years with no transfer fee. Then bury the £10m in the accounts. Or Charnleys arsehole.
To be fair for me the squad is O.K we need a new LB, a winger and a 15-20 goal striker and we would be fine for me. GK - Dubz and Darlow plus Woodman as cover CB -Like you say covered, Lacselles, Schar, Lejuene, Fernandez, Clark and Dummy as solid cover RB - Yedlin and Manqy Not great but Yedlin has the pace and, reluctantly, I was impressed with Manquillo towards the end of the year, neither world beaters but can make do, ideally would get a new RB as well but if not... LB - Dummett IS a good option, a new and improved LWB wouldn't go amiss, Ritchie can cover both full back positions as well CM - Hayden may be off so Diame, Shelvey, Ki and Longstaff would suffice, possibly Saviet as well if he gets another chance. Wings, Perez, Almiron are first choice and personally wouldn't change them then you have Ritchie who can play either side, past that we've Murphy, Atsu maybe Aarons as well, ship a few of those out and replace with a real quality player. CF - Gayle and Rondon would be fine with someone else replacing Joselu
Mo Diame turns up in glasses,false nose with moustache and is paraded as our new left back. Touted as having a great engine, unfortunately his crossing is awful and his tackle is simply to just be in the way - more by accident than on purpose.
