I don't think it's feasible to change the squad even a normal amount this summer let alone a fair amount.
1. We have a few people out of contract who won't be renewed so that does create some space but my guess is that some of those out on loan or younger academy players will probably fill that void. This is just natural churn.
2. Levy has already indicated that we need to sell to buy mainly due to the fact we have a net transfer debt of over 200m.
3. Let's say we do sell a shed load of players to accommodate these sweeping changes... then you are going to need buyers... honestly, baring Romero, who wants our rejects after we've finished 17th?
4. Then if you identify a buyer willing to start negotiating, we are going to be miles apart on fees as the buyer will look at the car crash of this season where all baring Bergvall have probably had their transfer value impacted negatively due to shit form, being injury prone and having one less year on their existing contract.
We have hammered some of these players this season and rightly so but when it comes to fantasy football, the only fantasy is the values we put on their heads... take Johnson. He is still young but I'd be amazed if we recovered half of what we spent on him.
In summary: Can't see too many changes due to the circumstances we find ourselves in. A bit of natural churn and maybe one or two 20m - 30m players with Romero going and maybe Vicario if we get a good offer from Inter.
Reckon 3-4 first team out and about the same in
Out
Romero
Richy
Biss and/or Bentancur
Solomon
In
CB
Cardoso
RW
Tel
Something like that.
On god we are cooked if this is our window. Absolutely sizzled.
Depends on how good the CB and RW are.
Depends on how good the coach is.
Cardoso might be absolutely top drawer in the PL. looks built for it and he’s having a great season.
And we were linked to him when £15m would have got him!
I think that is pretty accurate. Underwhelming but accurate. I'm not even sure we sign a RW. Odobert and BJ are going nowhere. We'll sell the 4 players you mentioned and replace thm with 4 younger inexperienced players.
The 2 obvious ones are Richarlison out for Tel and Bissouma out for Cardoso. Imagine it'll be a cheap prospect coming in for Romero and Danso will be promoted to the starting 11. I'm not sure we sign anyone else really unless an "opportunity" arises lol
Went for Bergwijn
Cardoso is a near certainty to come in
Vuskovic will def come in
I think Tel will be made permanent
We will only sell Romero if we’re offered around the £60m mark. Richy, Solomon and Biss should bring in around £60m.
Decisions need to be made on Scarlett, Lankshear, Davies and Son.
Can we get anything for Velez and Gil?
Our squad is absolutely mammoth and players need moving on.
We’ve then got some significant young players who need game time to keep progressing.
We’ve don’t need to buy much, just 2 players of real quality and a manager who has at least once heard another manager talking about these strange things called tactics

Objectively speaking there is very little, if anything to like about west ham
And, conversely, an away one too.Every match is a home match...
I thought Davies' contract was up and Forester's as well. If we continue to just buy 20m-40 m players we will not get a better squad. We need a star that can win matches on his own. If that means compromises elsewhere then sobeit. A lot depends on whether we are in the CL as if not then we do not need the same numbers as many will not get many mins. The new Manager wanting most of the current squad will be vital as we cannot start the rebuild again.
Not another year of davies please. Surely that ship has sailed in june. Great professional etc but need to upgrade quality. Tbh I think we will get Mitchell from palace on a free as cover for udogie.
