Sevilla signed 15 players in one summer, 2019, and got rid of almost as muchLooks like our forum might make up half the first team at that rate.
It is possible. Bale and Vinicius wont be renewed, Rose out of contract and probably Gazzaniga this or next window. Last year of contract Aurier and Lamela, they have to go for whatever we can get. I'd add Sanchez, Sissoko and Moura but thats where it gets tricky as Levy will want his pound of flesh which no one will give due to covid/no fans.Sevilla signed 15 players in one summer, 2019, and got rid of almost as much
Why isn't it possible for us to get rid of at least 10 players in one window? I'd like to believe we can do it

And that is Levy's biggest problem, demanding unrealistic money for our unwanted players, it took him 3 fucking years to offload Nkoudou and JanssenIt is possible.

Milan and Leverkusen were willing to pay 15m for Aurier last summer, Levy wanted 25, Barcelona were willing to play 35m for Lucas in summer 2019, Levy wanted 45mThere is a global pandemic and no normal club has any money. You can't just get rid of 10 players by clicking your fingers. We have been trying for years to sell players like Rose and he is still here.
It was hard enough to sell our lesser players before the pandemic, now it's almost impossible. Players like Ozil and others are having to terminate their contracts to get out, we cannot afford to pay players to leave. Who is going to buy Davinson? Who is going to buy Lucas? Who is going to buy Aurier?

The problem is Levy demanding silly money
Lets be realistic, most of our squad/unwanted players have very low valuationsI don't disagree but the past is the past. We live in the here and now and nobody is going to give us hard cash for our squad players.
Let's see in a few years shall we?So much wrong in this post I don’t know where to start
I don't care about on paper. Most of those players are fucking useless. Everyone in bold needs to go and some of those not in bold need to work to stay,On paper we have good depth and a strong team, the only weakness is our defence and we do need a CB upgrade but this is a better squad than West Ham, Leicester and on par with United. I except a fully fit Liverpool and Man City are better. This should at least be enough for top 4.
Our main strength is in attack but we have a manager who seems unable to use it. Instead we sit back in defence (our weakest part) and hope the defence can hold out for 90 mins. To play how Mourinho wants we would need a world class back line, instead we have a world class attack. The team is a very good one but not one suited to Mourinho so either he adapts to the team or he leaves.
Team 1

Aurier Toby Dier Regulion

Wtf is this. Have we given up and thrown in the towell for January then?
Of course we have. We'd given up before the window started.Wtf is this. Have we given up and thrown in the towell for January then?
Some will be very good at tracking back.Looks like our forum might make up half the first team at that rate.
We'd be lucky to sell 2 or 3 of those players. No chance of any 'clearout' this summer it doesn't work like that.Lets be realistic, most of our squad/unwanted players have very low valuations
Sissoko is worth no more than 5m, Lamela 8-10m, Lucas 10-12m, Dele 20m, Aurier 10m, Dier and Davies 15m, Winks 20m, Sanchez 15-18m,
Levy would demand 2x to 3x of those valuations
You make me want to get a hair transplant so that I can tear it out when reading this.We did, and most of the squad he's currently chosing from is from the previous regime or loanees.
