Snap brumbys, I came in for a little 1st and 2nd eleven discussion too. Our squad is looking bloody good innit. If the signings go as we hope from here, I saw it very similar, hoping for this first and second eleven, which looks pretty amazing imo
1st:
Raya
Timber Saliba Gabriel Lewis-Skelly
Rice Zubimendi
Saka Odegaard Eze
Gyokeres
2nd:
Kepa
White Mosquera Kiwior Calafiori
Merino Norgaard
Madueke Nwaneri Martinelli
Havertz
Some marginal calls there, plenty of competition, and a group of those 2nd eleven players would make a big shout for the first eleven e.g. Calafiori, Martinelli, White, Havertz, Merino.
Not mentioned:
Zinchenko (sell)
Vieira (sell)
Trossard (sub in above if Eze or another LW is not signed)
Lokonga (sell)
Nelson (sell)
Also some good academy kids coming through, big one appears to be this Max Dowman. I've watched a few highlights packages, wow, looks like a super talent coming through there. He's playing years up in the grades and has been training a lot with the first team. Haven't checked but I assume he's with the first team in pre-season? Looks right up there, even more hyped than Nwaneri and MLS.
