I think you are being too harsh on the board (TC) other than a group of Mount haters
only thing I was worried about was CHO's achillies, and it seems to be 95% back to normal
all the other you listed I personally have not banged on about
I have issues with
Kepa
Zouma << he HAS to go, and he is the one I can see getting in the most fights with over on here. I have always said he is not good enough, and I am NOT changing my mind, he is horrific on the ball, all the people backing him, well every game coughed up like yesterday, thats on them
AC
Rudiger (I finally am almost convinced he needs to go)
Alonso
Emerson
Kante (square peg , round hole, rapidly ageing, doesnt play well i our system, soon 30, and we are going to get shit for him when/if we sell him now, compared to if we had been smart)
Jorgiho (if we renew him,, and thus are stuck with him for 5 or 6 years total more on the books, I am going to give up all hope that we will ever make smart contract moves again)
RLC (ONLY due to his Achillies looking like a career ender, or at least in terms of him being a star, I always rated him before that)
I am not going to change my mind on any of those other than a iracle turn-around by Rudiger (which looks so unlikely)
the rest HAVE to go
they are not good enough, and yes, that now includes Kante, it just is shit as we likely will get £70-80m or so less than if we had sold him at peak value (yet a given that he would not work out as we made the turn away from counter-attacking)
this is Azpi's last year as a decent player, his legs are already almost gone, he will be kept just for leadership I am sure, but to count on him, say spring 2022, well if we are, we are well fucked
Willy will retire surely after this year, unless he goes cashes in in MLS or KSA or China
the rest are fine (other than the 25 or so dregs we have to liquidate)
and I have been more than fair with Mount and the rest you listed, I do not want any them to leave
