So Arne is used to having a Lidl transfer budget in Holland but is about to be given a Waitrose style budget.
We had 19 players on loan last season and I can't see any of them making the 1st team squad next season.
Then we have Adrian, Matip and Tiago gone
Rumours say Kelleher, Gomez and Diaz want to go and I'd also let Kostas, Hendo and Jones go to raise funds.
So we need 2 keepers
A left back
At least 1 centre back
2 midfielders
1 winger.

Hendo?
Did I miss something?
The old guard really must be coming back, since Klopp left.
27 May 2024 20:34:59
Definitely let Hendo go.

7 players? It’s not the twelve days of Christmas.

I almost stopped reading at Hendo but I'm glad I didn't as I would have missed hilarious part where you think we need to sign 7 players this summer.

OP, I was with you in your first statement and then, it all went downhill from there.

He’s going from a Lidl budget to a Tesco’s Value budget in fairness.
{Ed025's Note - yeah VV...but every little helps mate.. :)

What a post, lol. Love it mate, good one.

If were letting Hendo go, my money is on him heading to the middle east. Having said that, i can't see him really fitting in there and probably wouldn't last longer than six months or so.

You might want to put your mortgage and any savings on that as a bet DE. I think you're onto something.

On the subject of Hendo he's had a bit of a stinker.
Gave up the captaincy of a huge club because he wasn't guaranteed to start every game and said he wanted to grow the sport in Saudi on astronomical wages.
He then decided to leave Saudi at a financial cost to himself to save his Euro 24 chances of which he hasn't made the squad.
Shame really as he seems a nice enough lad but i'm not really sure where he goes next as its reported that Ajax can't afford to keep him.

@JK23 - Sunderland? Local lad returns to guide them into the PL?
28 May 2024 17:47:37
Wdw good shout that.
Not sure if he will fancy championship wages mind.
Bit of a come down in 12 months from Saudi ones.

Depends on who is leaving . then we might need 7 players .
