All depends how many non-HG we can sell.
Currently we have 22 UEFA non-HG. We are only allowed 17, of course.
But it must be odds on GLC, Ndombele, Rodon and Reguilon are sold or loaned.
That brings it down to 18.
Assuming we sign a new CB and AM who are non-HG that brings it back up to 20.
That almost certainly would mean Royal and Sanchez will be moved on leaving 18.
I reckon Conte will loan Gil and keep Sarr bringing it to the perfect 17.
And gets totally blown away he´s got a sixth finger.Be interesting if Spence counts to six on one hand for the reveal video.
I suspect it also depends on how our existing WBs & newcomer Spence perform in pre-season. Conte will be monitoring them closely, looking to see all of them improve their attacking play & delivery. (Apart from Perisic who is already proven in Conte's system.)I'd be happy to see KWP back at the right price - think he was shafted by Poch not giving him playing minutes.
I do wonder if the assumption at Spurs is our HG issue could be solved next season with Parrott and/or White coming into squad as Club trained, or even Tanganga back after a loan as Club trained, and even Etete as HG and in turn that might mean KWP deal is marginally less attractive now.
Our current squad, with adjustment for obvious outgoings. HG quota narrowly met.

There's a bit of an imbalance as we have 12 defenders for 5 positions, but only 9 FWD/MIDs for 5 positions.
We can add another player without having to get rid of anyone else, as long as they are HG.
A non-HG in would mean we need a non-HG out.
Rodon out (loan?) for another CB seems like a no-brainer. An attacking midfielder would also add squad balance. One of those 2 would have to be HG.
Tanganga may as well be loaned as he won't get much game-time, even though we'd be left with a smaller squad.
Five is fine - window opens three months after the season starts. Royal can coverI don't see us moving on Rodon, Sanchez and Tanganga and only bring in one CB as that means only 5 CB's.
I think we may want to find an HG to bring in if Tanganga goes
Hope so.
Well i for one has a hard time thinking Conte would like the idea of either Spence, Doherty, or Emerson as a starting RWB.
I never suggested we move on Tanganga in that post.I don't see us moving on Rodon, Sanchez and Tanganga and only bring in one CB as that means only 5 CB's.
I think we may want to find an HG to bring in if Tanganga goes
but I'm more concerned about having a full and balanced squad for CL.
I have a sneaky feeling we will be in for either Guehi or Maddison. After securing 1 of those 2, we can afford for the other to be non HG (Bremer, Torres, Paqueta etc.)
It's rare for a Barca player to leave and do better elsewhere?
I know KWP plays well and played well for England in a recent inter but TBH I have never liked him.I'd be happy to see KWP back at the right price - think he was shafted by Poch not giving him playing minutes.

I really can't see Conte wanting to keep any player to only play in PL - its a tough league and few/no 'easy' games so not likely to play if kept ........ so loan out for Sarr and Gil far more likely to get regular game time v keep and play only a few mins in PL
So assuming Spence is done at 20m (with add-ons) then we've done:
- Perisic: Free
- Forster: Free
- Bissouma: 30m
- Richarlison: 60m
- Lenglet: Loan
- Spence: 20m
Total incomings: 110m
CCV - 6m
Bergjwin - 27m
Total outgoings: 33m
Current net spend: 77m
Likely sales:
- Winks: 15m
- Reguilon: 20m
- Gio: 20m
Potential additional sales:
- Rodon: 15m
- Emerson: 20m
If our likely sales go through we'd be at 22m net spend. Any additional sales and we will have a negative net spend.
We still have plenty of ammo to make a big statement.
I think the 6 signings have massively improved the squad and made us more complete but if we really want to be an elite team we need a final push.
Pau Torres and Lautauro Martinez for 100m - GET IT DONE!
