How many players do we actually need?

I think part of the problem is the Rot that’s set in. So rather than it be what players do we need.

It is more for me about getting rid of some bad eggs.

Shelvey And Gayle must stink the place out.
Hendrick is terrible and just doesn’t fit.
Schars a twat from all accounts but is technically our best defender.
Lascelles is a good leader he’s just not a premiership footballer.
Clark is just ****.
Ritchie is past his sell by date.
Murphy although I think his attitude is good is just not a PL footballer.
Fraser is at least giving 100% under Howe but there is no quality.
Miggy I don’t know what’s broken down between him and Howe.
Willock we got robbed.

 

And this is the issue... the damage Ashley and Bruce have done in not pedalling these wastrels will take quite some time to unwind. Damage repair needs to be done right to that the issue doesn't ever surface again.

 

for the next 6 months I'd say we need an AM and DCM, plus 2 CB's and a striker ideally.

I'd settle for one CB, an AM and a striker.

 

Yes. We need a strong captain figure at the back, and we need more attacking potency.

No point having wood there if we cannot ****ing cross.
