so if we're to believe the rumours, with the young polish lad we'll have a CM squad of Allen, allan, Milner, Can, Hendo, Grujic, Lucas, Stewart, Brannagan, not to mention Lallana, Couts, Firmino, Ibe, ojo and Marcovic. Did I miss anyone? 16 players for 5 positions. We're going to need some clear out. Has anyone heard of any info regarding players leaving? allen to swansea?
Cheers.

Considering Lallana, Couts, Firmino, Ibe, Ojo, Marko Don`t play CM there positions are Wingers or CAM? so they should not be included in that pile, I would say Allan is going to be loaned out again he is not getting a work permit at the moment. Brannangan will probarly go out on loan to develop more, Allen will most likely be sold that leaves Zielinski, Grujic, Can, Hendo, Stewart Milner will be pushed further up the field he is better on the wing and I think Lucas will stay but be used at a complete back up and at CB.

Allen to Swansea isn't the only one I guess.

I am guessing Hendo, Can, Grujic, Stewart will be the senior players to cover deeper midfield positions with occasional cameos from Chirivella

Milner, Llalana, Firmino, Zielinski (if he joins), Coutinho, Markovic, Ojo will all cover he attacking midfield/ wingers roles

Lucas will be a backup at CB

I expect Allen to be sold and Ibe, Allan and possibly Canos to be on loans or sold depending on pre-season

If we sign someone like Gotze we might also see Markovic moved on or perhaps even Llalana or Milner, but think those two are unlikely to move given recent performances (unless a huge bid from somewhere! )

There's my 2c!

So this whole Zielinski deal. Isn't he/ his agent playing the come-and-get-me game a little too much? Been thinking we might not be all that interested, because if we were the Zielinski camp would be a lot more quiet by now.
