Current state of the squad

Lewis O‘Brien in as well, one more round peg in a round hole.

One or two more to complete the starting XI, then it is a matter of padding out the squad and options for the bench.

We're getting there!

Anyone got any idea as to the running total spend ?

That leaves us potentially:

Henderson
Williams Worrall Mckenna Niakhate Richards
Yates LOB
(Lingard)
Johnson Awoniyi

Subs:
Hennessey
Biancone
Toffolo
New CM (Mangala)
New CAM (MGW/Cornet)
Surridge
New ST (Dennis)

Others:
Smith
Mbe Soh
Cook
Lolley
Silva
Mighten
Cafu
Colback
Aguilera (When he comes)

How would that side fare?
 

Morpeth

Scarpa could be amazing but he's being kept under the radar slightly. Olympiakos may well bomb the champions league in the next week and if so i wouldn't be surprised if we agreed a fee with Palmeiras and brought him in immediately.

4 more needed for me, although we could feasibly get away with actually starting the season with just one more (CAM) if we really had to.

CAM
CM
CM
ST

I'm getting greedy now, I want MGW, Lingard, Vranckx and Dennis 😆 but would settle for Cornet, Mangala and Camara.

It looks like a side with a fighting chance…

What does this take the spending to, about £70m in fees?
From the rough figures we've been given i think although someone might correct me somewhere...

£17m Awoniyi
£15m Williams
£8m Niakhate
£10m O'Brien and Toffolo
£5m Biancone
£8m Richards
£2m Aguilera

Roughly £65m without throwing in a fee to take Henderson on loan

Really starting to take shape now...

1 quality midfielder and attacker added and then we have 1 premier loan space free and I would expect that once 25 man squads are announced that we will have a couple of good loans (1 home, maybe 1 abroad) in to complement things further.

We are definitely giving ourselves every chance this year, if the performance on the pitch matches the recruitment, then we are starting to look good for the premier campaign ahead

I'm wondering how the 25 man squad will align with Cooper's training model, which he recently said works on a basis of 20 first team players and was used as justification for bumping Lolley down to the U23s... Do 5 players get a day off?
