I am expecting a lot of business in and out during the summer. What do you all think, we will do with our current squad? Keep, sell or loan. Schmeichel Hamer Jakupovic Maguire Chilwell Morgan Huth Simpson Fuchs Benalouane Knight Dragovic Elder Moore James Albrighton Amartey Gray Ndidi Mahrez Iborra Choudhury Silva Barnes King Mendy Kapustka Vardy Okazaki Iheanacho Thomas Diabate Slimani Musa Ulloa

Agree mostly but why would you sell two of our best U21 prospects in Gray and Barnes and keep a 30+ year old who had a mardy fit and went on strike like Ulloa?
I think Ulloa offers us something different up front (and boy have we missed it recently) I don't think Barnes will cut it at this level and Gray has moaned about not being in the 1st team, he's been given his chance and (for me) hasn't taken it. I think Gray thinks he is better than he is. Hope he proves me wrong though.
Miles too early to say that about Barnes. A year in th championship on loans and revisit the situation then would be the best decision Remember at 25 Jamie Vardy wasnt deemed good enough to be a professional football so miles too early to write Barnes off
If we want a big man, I'd rather us bring someone else in in with miles on the clock rather then someone at the end of his career. Off the top of my head, Aleksandar Mitrovic from Newcastle seems to have finally grown up - deal involving Slimani would do the job. Rumours are that West Ham want Slimani for Andy Carroll - he is a sicknote but is capable of doing the job if kept fit.
Keep Squad Player Sell Schmeichel Hamer Jakupovic Maguire Chilwell Morgan Huth Simpson Fuchs Benalouane Dragovic James Albrighton Amartey Gray Ndidi Mahrez Diabate Iborra Choudhury Silva King Mendy Kapustka Vardy Okazaki Iheanacho Slimani Musa Ulloa Im probably being generous with some of the squad players, but don't think theres time to have a mass exodus, and most would need to be assessed pre-season. Would also sell squad players if the offers decent, and loan out those i haven't listed.
This may help us keep Mahrez Via Rob Dorsett Riyad Mahrez tells me he has withdrawn the transfer request he made in January, but he is still not sure whether he will be an #lcfc player next season. See more on #ssn
GK Schmeichel - sell Gamers/Jako - one as back up and sell one depending who has the better attitude. Sign new number 1 and promoted a youth keeper as 3rd choice Defence Morgan - bin Simpson - back up if attitude right Fuchs - as per simpson Huth - release Benny - bin Maguire - keep - make captain Chilwell - keep Dragovic - keep if he’ll stay Knight/Elder/Moore - see what all can do and loan if not ready Midfield James - sell Mahrez - sell Mendy - sell King - sell Kapushka - would like to see what he could do Ndidi - keep Silva - keep Iborra - keep Choudhury - keep Diabate - keep Gray - keep pending attitude Albrighton - keep pending attitude Amartey - keep as back up Barnes - keep Forwards Vardy - keep Iheanacho - keep Okazaki - maybe keen as back up Slimani - keep subject to attitude as a different option. If he has a bad attitude could be replaced as an option with Rondon (8mill release clause if WBA go down) Musa/Ulloa - bin
Elder had a cracking season at Wigan with some notable performances against Premier League opposition ... he's also quite a big lad ... magine him on the left side of a back 3 with Maguire and, hopefully Dragovic ...
All we’d really need for that kind of formation would be a CB (Dragovic?) a RWB with Albrighton as back up and a proper number 10. For example that Pereira from Porto, T Hazard and Dragovic and that could make a world of difference with Silva getting a full pre-season and Iheanacho and of course an ambitious manager
What do you have against Jakupovic - he has literally done nothing while unlike Hamer who has conceded 7 goals in 2 games. Just like Dragovic, I have no idea why Puel doesn't start Jakupovic as what we currently have is really not working.
Seem to have been proven right about Jakupovic from what I've heard on the radio. Also Huth will be leaving at the end of the season when his contract ends https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44059540
Never rated the bloke at Hull. He cant handle crosses, poor shot stopper and doesnt command his box at all I think he is an utter liability
Didn't show any of that in only his second game for us vs half decent opposition in Arsenal - is strange how he is really well thought of at Hull if he is so rubbish. Either way it looks like Jakupovic wants to leave - and I don't blame him if Hamer is in front of him who has shown that he can't handle crosses, is a poor shot stopper and doesn't command his box in his last games for us. Unfortunately Daniel Iversen doesn't look ready so we might be stuck with Hamer for a while as half decent players content to be benchwarmers are not easy to find.
Didnt you see him at Fleetwood away or ever watch him play for Hull. Just look at Mahrez’s goal against Hull at the KP last year. Even Fuchs’ goal went under him He is useless just Hull signed a Scottish goalkeeper to play ahead of him. Says all you need to know about why he played the odd game I think Hamer will get another year and it will be Kasper and Hamer next year
