We need
2 full backs (one preferably left-footed. )
1 winger on right
1 winger left
Another player who can play on the wing but hopefully other positions, (maybe as a striker or number 10 too, so maybe Jesus is already that player? )
hg = homegrown of which we can have 4
We easily have another 4 from other English clubs academies as we have Aina, Wood, Gibbs White, Williams, Anderson, Hudson-Odoi)
GKs: Sels, Miguel, Bott (hg)
FBs: Aina, Wiliams, Moreira/ BLANK, BLANK
CDs: Murillo, Milenkovic, Cunha, Boly, Morato, Abbott (hg)
MF: Sangare, Anderson, Yates (hg), Dominguez, Gibbs-White,
LW: Hudson-Odoi, BLANK
RW: BLANK/ Jota, BLANK
Str: Jesus, Wood, Awoniyi
That squad is 24 players for European comps
***We can't have 25 as we don't have 4 home-grown players from our own academy there. I think they are planning for Jesus/ Dominguez or whoever to be a backup for right wing. We will be able to just throw in someone from the academy for player 25 as things stand.

I'd definitely like to add another centre midfielder to that list mate, once suspensions and fatigue kick in we'll be short there. Plus Anderson, Yates and Dominguez are often walking yellow cards. ?.

A certain someone springs to mind Cyclist! (sorry, did that one to death yesterday).

Two left backs. Both Aina and Williams right footed. Not sure Ndoye or Traore left footed so yes another left winger.

Which position would you drop a player from Robin? You can't add a CM without dropping a player from another position. You also can't drop Abbott, Bott or Yates as they are home growns and can only be replaced by another home-grown player.

Sell Miguel maybe.
28 Jul 2025 19:20:52
And i forgot about Jota, there ya go.
28 Jul 2025 21:10:10
If you look, Jota or another winger. We have to have enough players in each position. If we sell Miguel, we need to replace him with a keeper, surely?
It's not easy. You can see why having players who can play in several positions are so important.

Ndoye, Traore, CHO, Igor Jesus if needed, also we look strong at CB so i could see us playing 352 with wingbacks and so such wingers.
28 Jul 2025 21:50:16
But i agree with you fully on players who can fill multiple roles, Ndoye and Jesus fit that perfectly, both can play anywhere across the front. ?.
