I feel like a 30-35% decrease in the wage budget might be up until Edwards retires again, we protected our value in Gakpo by handing him a 250k contract while refusing to do the same with Diaz, we sold him at top market value while he was one of the most undervalued players in the squad.
I almost want Gomez to continue for another season as I am afraid of what will happen to the culture at the club next season if he leaves. I love him to bits but he can´t be relied upon as a player but I want him to continue right now as I don´t think the team will have any leaders.
Woodman will leave as well after actually having proving himself as a capable keeper so good lucks to him, Rhys Williams will leave as well, then a number of u21 players as well, lets not forget Chiesa. I can´t see him staying for one more season considering the treatment he gets from the head coach. 11 players running out of contract in total.
Bajcetic, Endo, Gomez, Jones, Tsimikas, Van Dijk, Alison and Gomez ending in 2027. Who are all basically players we should cash in on if we wanna have a squad in a couple of years.
That is a lot of players leaving the club in the next two windows guaranteed. Not a single one mentioned except maybe Jones could be offered new contracts. That´s 19 players out minimum in the next two summer windows.
