That makes me nervous but also very optimistic!

There is a possibility that we couldn't afford £4.5m...

This is what I'm worried about. It seems a no-brainer to move on two of Keane, Holgate, or Godfrey if we think we can get suitors for them. I think Coady makes sense as a back-up for the fee, as long as we brought in a replacement in addition to Brainthwaite coming back and proving capable of a spot in the first team. We won't find many CB's at Coady's price. If we plan on keeping at least two of the above mentioned then I can understand not bringing back Coady though.

Sulemana will be worth a cut price bid, throw maupay in.  Pace to burn. 
 

I mentioned Tyler Adams elsewhere. 

My only worry with Adams is his injury record. He'll play in a lot of matches, but he'll also likely miss time. He throws himself about a lot, so that probably doesn't help. 

Agreed on most, especially on Adams. I actually think he'd be an upgrade on Gana, and this isn't me being biased. Leeds' rapid downfall has coincided with Adams getting injured and missing the last half of the season. 

I can't believe it's been 10 seasons already! That's absolutely bonkers.

West Ham is one the clubs I can't stand the most, but I love this! 

He'll be a decent backup to Patterson. We still need to look at bringing in a younger, third RB to start integrating into the squad for when Coleman is gone. We can't let history repeat itself by failing to address squad depth. This upcoming season will have to be Coleman's last year even though he's been important for us this season. 

I would like to give him another season. Young and in his first year in the PL for struggling side. If we get some balance next season he might show what he’s capable of.

In squad number order (Keep):

Goalkeepers: Pickford, Begovic, Lonergan

Defenders: Tarkowski, Patterson, Godfrey, Coady, Branthwaite

Midfielders: McNeil, Gray, Doucoure, Iwobi, Gueye, Garner

Strikers: DCL

In squad number order (Sell/Release):

Holgate - Not good enough, horrendous attitude.

Keane - Actually stepped up to the plate under Dyche but is still below the standard we need. Makes me nervous as he's always on the cusp of dropping a clanger.

Onana - I'm actually a fan of him, which I know puts me in the minority. For the amount of money that's being talked about I'd let him go though as it would go a long way to replacing the amount of dross I want us to move on.

Mina - All the best you mad bastard.

Townsend - Not his fault that injuries have fucked up his season but I think he was on the verge of not being good enough for us before the knock. I don't think he'll come back and pull up any trees so would be happy to move on, even if that's us doing it on the cheap to free up wages.

Mykolenko - I really don't think he's good enough. Always looks nervous as fuck IMO and has a bit of a wobble in him defensively. Offers very little going forward too which is noticed more when we've been used to Baines and Digne doing just that - hoping we can convince someone on the continent to take him.

Maupay - One of the worst strikers we've ever had.

Coleman - Let him retire and move to the coaching staff if need be. Sentiment aside he's probably been past it for two years now and this latest injury won't have helped matters.

Davies - Shite.

Simms - Nothing against the lad, but if we can get a few quid from a Championship side to give us funds to sign an actual striker then I'll be happy seeing him go. I can't see him suddenly being ready to play 30 games next season which is exactly what we need. 

I’m with you on Mykolenko, but I would say we keep him and bring someone else in as starter. I think his ceiling is a squad depth player. 

If only he could’ve stayed fit, eh? One of the most awkward players on the pitch, but I love his demeanor. He gets in opponents’ heads, and that is huge. It wasn’t always pretty, but I was a lot more comfortable with him than the other CB’s. Wish him well like others. 

Should’ve gone with Doucs for the goal that kept us up probably, but I thought Garner was great and helped the defense out tremendously. He did well playing out of position. 

COYB!!! Fucking yes! 

Good job Pickford!!

10 minutes of ET. Jesus. 

Would love for Yerry to get a farewell goal. 

So nervous. COYB.

Feel like he’s probably just trying to waste some time. 

They need to keep their cool! Can’t risk any sending offs. 

What are you doing Gana? Keep it simple. 

Leicester up another. We have no option but to win at this point. 

What a strike! 

THANK GOD 

Good strike by Garner. Good save.
