Regarding surviving relegation, this is how I see it:

...........................New GK

New RB......Rodon.......Struijk.......New LB

..................Ampadu......Tanaka

James.................New no.10............Solomon

............................New no.9

Squad Players:
Meslier, Piroe, Aaronson, Gnonto, Ramazani, Firpo, Bogle, Gruev, Wober.

5 essential first team signings (6 including Solomon) and a few Prem-competent squad signings to add depth.

Solomon is not ours mate, 2 center halves i don’t think up to it, other 3 maybe. But that you have posted demonstrates how my point on how lacking we are in reality.

I think Solomon has said he wants to return to London area. His wife pulling the strings. Probably Fulham?

Keeper
Left back
Centre back x2
An 8 as Rothwell not prem standard
A 10 with BA back up
A couple of 9s with Bamford gone, Piroe back up and Joseph out on loan.

Probably need some to replace Byram for both full back slot cover

Like for like should any of the wingers leave.

The exciting thing is thus far the scouting/recruitment has been spot on so I'd like to think that trend will continue. Since last summer I'd say the vast majority of our signings have been hits rather than duds. If we can have a similar success rate regarding summer signings it will bode very well.

I also reckon there will be a few players in the Bundesliga that Farke fancies who aren't currently obtainable until we're in the Prem. I might be wrong but I think it was Farke who nudged us towards Tanaka?
