can’t wait to see the lads , the yann sommer, the Shaqiri, Ricardo Rodriguez, that absolutely awful striker they have (seferovic?) and of course embolo. Not seen these chaps for 2 years !
A lot being made of the Europa League ‘homegrown’ players rule.
Of the current squad who you’d imagine will still be here to be included:
Ballard
Rigg
O’Nien
Moore
I then *think* Mayenda counts, but not sure.
You’re then only looking at 3 spots to fill.
And that doesn’t even include the likes of Mundle, Cirkin, the returning Hjelde or Patterson or any of the many academy products that could in theory be thrown a bench spot or two in a large squad.
Will absolutely be sound.
I’ve just spent 10 minutes trying to work out if Bertrand Traore counted ffs.
Essentially, don’t think it’ll be the case that we’ll need to sign 5 English players this summer.
Potentially unknown at the time, but I think one of the most important results of the season was the defeat away at Burnley.
Getting the first defeat out of the way early probably humbled the team after the West Ham win and showed there could be no room for complacency.
