Hackney’s underlying numbers do look very impressive. He’s the type of player that will go to Everton or Palace and we’d complain about not being in for.

Fair enough
The sales volumes would likely be the hardest to achieve
Robertson and Senesi are already done. Savinho they’ve been working on for a year now.
The problem is that volume is pretty much what’s needed. Of the names in my list, MGW is probably the one we could get by without easiest because Maddison is fit and Gallagher at the 10 makes us much more difficult to beat. Those 2 mean it’s not a massive rush to hurry Simons back and if we signed Akliouche, he can also cover 10.
So it becomes
GK
RCB
Senesi
Robertson
senior #6 playmaker
senior #8
RW
LW
CF
Pretty sure we’re all agreed that’s really the urgent stuff that needs to get done
Get Locatelli, not the chef the one at Juve
Yup
They missed out on CL and need money. Might be the only as summer where he could be persuaded as well. De Zerbi on the blower ASAP

Here’s the post for the Harry Wilson crew
As long as you understand he’d be our main, starting 11, star player on the RW, then great let’s push the boat out for him.
We can’t have any passengers or black holes in possession anymore . I’ve got zero tolerance for it.
It should be treated the same as work-rate/pressing/defensive contribution.
I'm interested to see Kudus in a RDZ system, well basically any attacking system where he is not the only outlet.
And this...
Don't wanna sound all Savile-y, but fuck me, Xavi was a good looking kid!
Whilst I agree that kind of squad surgery is required, it’s just not feasible in one window.
That kind of rebuild probably takes three windows minimum, maybe more.
That kind of money won’t be available for a start just this summer.
Happy cry or Despair cry?
And this...
Don't wanna sound all Savile-y, but fuck me, Xavi was a good looking kid!
Well u got the words fuck me, xavi and kid all into one sentence, that takes some doing lol
If we were playing Jimmy Saville bingo ud hit the jackpot with that one
He's a brilliant player technically, so wasn't effected much by the ankle issues. Misses 1-7 games a season through injuries over the last 4/5 seasons, so not much of a concern at this stage... until the inevitable happens with us!
Just made the German WC squad, so there will be other suitors if he gets game time.
Not that impressed from that reel. Looks like some scuffed and a bit raw. Anyone hold a different view.
Agreed.
Assuming we do have Robbo, Senesi and JP ... then from here signing a LW, a no9 and a MF would be a very good window as long as all three are genuine top players.
For me that is about the most we can hope for. And I think that is also a good amount of change to integrate.
We would have 4 changes to the starting 11 with that (assuming Vuskovic is a starter).
re the MF ... the issue is we actually don't have any elite MF players, though have some very specialised guys (JP, CG). I think we should probably try and sign one elite player and you can probably make more of an argument for either an 8 or a 6 than for a 10 given we have Madders, and will then have Xavi back in the NY, that Kudus and (if he ever returns) Kulu and even CG can all play there.
We sell Bissouma and Sarr, and keep Bergvall and Gray for the club trained thing in 27-28. That season will be make or break for both of those players.
