^Until Yildiz returns in January, if Bremer can stay fit and if we won't need to sell Connie.

Quite underwhelming on paper - we are pinning a lot on Spaghetti being able to get performance out of these players- many of them are question marks.
Ekhator as trequartista, now what could possibly go wrong there lol, that sounds just way too crazy even in case Yildiz will be out for a while.

Also if that will be our starting midfield then no wonder we’ll struggle again.

Our starting midfield duo should be McNuggets and Thuram.
I'd plusvalenza either of them, ideally McNuggets and try to get Reijnders on loan

I dont know if we have much money to spend now. Spent nearly 100M on two attackers.

Poop, Kily Gonzalez and David Luiz need to be moved on. I'd sell the dribble monkey too if a good offer comes.

Btw welcome back you old mfer. Thought you got completely KO'd by Allegro's jihadball :madmax:

Anyway something dominant in the middle required

Did i forget anyone? How many of the newcomers are important upgrades or reinforcements? For me they all look at least as good as the players they are replacing. Not great, but good. It feels like completing the incomplete roster from last year.

Realistic expectation: (BOLD are new vs last yeaer, Italics are possibilities)

GKs (3): Vicario, Perin, Pinsoglio, (hopefully a good Next Gen prospect to add?)
DEFs (8): Celik, Kalulu, Bremer, Lucumi, Gatti, Kelly, Cambiaso, Raum (I expect Cabal and Rugani to leave)
MIDs (6): Locatelli, Thuram, McKennie, Luiz, Kessie, Miretti. (I expect Koop to be loaned or sold and Miretti to stay. Arthur to go as well of course)
FWDs: (8) Conceicao, Zhegrova, Boga, Yildiz, Alajbegovic, Muani, David, Ekhator. (I don't see us doing a deal with David exiting and getting anyone else - Not sure what happens with Milik either)

Squad of 27 - which is a lot for just the Europa league. That squad is built for a 4231 because there are lot of forwards in that squad. Given what I know about Spaletti, I wouldn't be surprised that he doesn't care much for Zhegrova and David - so maybe he doesn't mind seeing both leave to bring in a big physical striker. But that looks tough to do in reality based on the current mercato.

That is a really good point. But it's not complete yet. We'd still need a LB and a playmaker if everyone stays imo.

Some guys will leave and need to be replaced (David) and we will most likely not buy another playmaker...

Is this the plan? It's not great. Poorly optimised as well. First team looks okay though. If we can get everybody pulling in the same direction we should be fine.

I'd like us to try this one. Nico and Alajbegovic can basically play all 4 positions up top too...

I like Nico as a super sub. Need a difference maker off the bench.

I see Kolo and Koopmeiners as super subs. The club sees Beg the Bitch and Equator as traffic fodder.
