Summer Window Musing


Ok, I know the season isn't over yet and we're still fighting for the CL spot. This is not meant to be argumentative - just for fun and also because I think about this constantly. I'm sure others do as well, so interested in others thoughts. But, it seems obvious that we may lose a few of our star players this summer and also have some dead weight we need to offload. My thoughts:

  • Eriksen - fav player. Would love him to sign a new contract, but not sure if that is in the cards. This is up to him and his "plan" at this point
  • Toby - he's gone
  • Aurier - either he or Tripps is going to be sold this summer I believe and he is the more likely of the two to be sold. I hope we could ge someone like Wan Bissaka as our starting RB and Tripps is kept only as a role player. Not sure KWP stays around either.
  • Wanyama - one of Wanyama or Dier is going to be sold most likely. I would say this will probably be Wanyama
  • Llorente - I don't see us resigning him
  • LB - not sure either of these two would be let go. My gut says with upheaval in so many other areas, Poch prefers to minimize the amount of change and keeps them both
I also think there is a chance Moura is sold, and don't think we resign Vorm for next season either. That leaves some pretty big holes to fill, but also significant funds to be brought in to fill those holes. I didn't expect to have to rebuild so much when we were considered a "young team" just 2 years ago, but at this point I think it is obvious there will be an overhaul.
