that is a bloody strong squad. We need to be able to do what City and Liverpool do.That is to make 5 or 6 changes and not lose too much quality.This looks like a lot. 5(6?) new signings which was reportedly what Conte was asking for
Lloris/Forster/Austin
Romero/Sanchez/Dier/Lenglet/Davies/Tanganga
Doherty/Royal/Perisic/Sessegnon/(Spence)
Bissouma/Hojbjerg/Bentancur/Skipp
Kulusevski/Moura/Kane/Son/Richarlison
There is room for 1 more overseas player in that list (UEFA) and 1 more homegrown player to make a 25 man squad, which would make a total of 8 new signings. Adjustable depending on movement of course but still, it doesn't feel like enough, does it? Or does it?
I think only Romero out would make a huge difference. He is so far ahead of the rest of our defence. Makes Eric look good.
