We need some departures in this transfer window. Holding, Pepe, Trusty, Runarsson, Elneny maybe even Balogun and Nketiah. I'd be sad to see Nelson and ESR leave, they're my favorite players, but Edu needs to be a proactive in finding suitable places to transfer these players to.
would be super harsh if Mikel lets Reiss go after the new contract. Reckon he's staying for rotation in cup games and possibly a super sub for league games.
True, I didn't really consider that. I just think there will be financial pressure in the months to come if there aren't departures. We don't want demand to dry up. If we're financially constrained before the next transfer window, we might miss out on an available striker or a quality center back.
Nelson I think will play backup LW like he did at Hoffenheim with Trossard seeming to now be a left 8. Which makes sense because I always felt he struggled to offer the width Martinelli did on the wing, a completely different kind of player.
