Whilst most of us can look at the squad and "probably" say, a striker, midfielder or maybe two, and a LB are required, I think actually...defensively there are HUGE changes coming:
IN(likely)
M Kerkez
G Mamardashvili
J Frimpong
D Huijsen
Out:
TAA
Kostas
Kelleher
Emphasise these are "likely" but, we know of course some of that above is true, but if it is 100% like above then I can't remember such a defensive shuffle like this since (all in one go), errrrr....B Rogers days i think!
I mean thats quite a huge defensive change!!
It's probably needed, but it is big...and add to that say a new striker a DM then going into next season it's going to be interesting to see how they get as a unit (defensively).
Big DEFENSIVE changes!!

I would be surprised if even half of those positions are filled with newly bought players.

I can see Huijsen joining Chelsea tbh if they qualify for the CL. Their defenders are rubbish so he'd be a guaranteed starter there

So when do we start saying that Frimpong is ****?

I think we may have another trent issue brewing with konate. He is coming to last year of his contract and does not look like he is signing. Rumours are of psg and real taking him for free. I think we should get another cb and sell him or risk of losing for free again

The simple answer is nobody knows where this will all go this summer but 90% of stuff in social media is player and agent drive with the remaining 5% being clubs advertising players.

To be fair, the vast majority of our defence might not be here in 2 years time so we do need a 'overhaul' or at least some succession planning.
Trent is already gone. Konate enters the last year of his contract next season. He may resign but then he's the only one you're looking at as first choice after the next 2 years. Van Dijk may well retire at the end of his new contract and Robbo is done as first choice. That's certified 3 changes required.
