Who would we get rid of? Onomah and Pritchard are quality youth talent. Eriksen, Lamela, Son & Alli are all pretty untouchable.
I guess I was thinking a little too narrowly in terms of players a more predominantly central role, not really the players that are playing in more of a winger position (Son, Lamela types). My original thought was that Bentaleb is likely going, but that there will need to be some space made and someone else is going to have to make way in the midfield. If Onomah is going to become more of a regularly featured player, Pritchard will make his way out from injury, Oduwa promises to earn his way into the team, someone will have to make room. Maybe one of them will be released, or maybe it will be a Carroll if he doesn't make a good enough impression quick enough, or if Mason can't get back to what he looked like he was going to become when he got his first real run out.

Tough decisions.
 
I might not be alone in thinking this but there seems to be a lot of assumption surrounding us playing CL football next season. Whilst it is a distinct possibility, to start considering which players we should buy based on the fact we have confirmed CL football is a little like history repeating.
 
I don't remember anybody wanting us to sign Benteke from Liverpool after 6 months, but I wouldn't be surprised. I don't see a problem with wanting a striker but said striker needs to check a lot of boxes that Benteke doesn't. Primarily 1) willing to sit on the bench and deputise for Kane, 2) fits the pressing system and 3) doesn't have an ego that will upset the squad.


I don't want that lying, cheating, diving cunt near our team

Stan Collymore was not impressed just afterwards on Talksport
