Player Polls Results - KEEP/MOVE ON

[1964white]

Firstly, may I thank everyone who participated in the player polls.

Here are the positive % results from the polls

I have combined the keeps & loans together, those achieving 50% or more is the nucleus of MOT's squad for our 2024/25 squad

The rest of our squad who are not featured in the above graph attracted 46% or fewer votes.

We have reduced the squad to 16 players, not allowing for any players coming in from our academy, we would probably need to make at least 8 signings.

• So on the above basis

• How many of the above squad would be in your first team?

• And which ones be on the bench?

[1964white]

My starters
Gray
Rodon
Struijk
Firpo
Ampadu
Gruev
James
Rutter

Bench
Klaesson
Byram
Cresswell
Kamara
Gyabi
Joseph
Piroe
Gelhardt

Aaronson surprisingly just sneaked into the squad.

We have reduced the squad to 17 players, not allowing for any players coming in from our academy, we would probably need to make at least 7 signings.

I'd have put the loan/sell together, if we loan them they're not at ER playing and posters here don't really want them in the squad but are just hedging their bets

[The Subhuman]

I'd not have any player not signed by Leeds for 24/25 atm either ..

[whiteswan]

I thought Roden was going to Southampton or Ippy

[The Subhuman]

So

Klaesson
Gray
Firpo
Ampadu
Cresswell
Struijk
James
Gruev
Joseph
Piroe
Georginio

Byram
Kamara


13 players currently on our books the forum want back and playing

[The Subhuman]

Need

LCB - Not a starter
RCB -

for a 20 man squad which is a bit light for me

I conducted 32 polls, take out Rodon, Roberts & Anthony who were on loan, that leaves 29 & we are left with 13 players on our books, surely we won't sell or move on 16 of our squad.

Agree with all those positions required.

A busy summer for our management team.

[Jammy 07]

So more than 50% don't want to retain Meslier ?

Wow and he was quite outstanding for us after recovering admirably from a torrid relegation season.

Tough crowd.

[andrewjohnsmith]

Not basing mine on any of the stats. Just my own preference and what I feel is realistic:

Meslier
RB
CB
Strujik
Firpo
Ampadu
Gray
James
Rutter
LW
Joseph

Bench
Byram
Cresswell
Gruev
Kamara
Bamford
Piroe
Aaronson
Kristensen
LWinger

Crew, Shackleton as back up for bench

Basically I'm looking at 4 new signings

The Red Bull deal kind of improves my hopes a little. Previously I was looking ay loans and experienced championship freebies. Hopefully RB can improve FFP and make money available for some top quality signings

I voted to keep him, here's the general vote, Jammy.

[whiteinfrance]

I'd say we will need 6 new signings as a bare minimum

[1964white]

6 quality signings.

[1964white]

Has Just Joe been reading MOT?

[1964white]

Apparently, Georginio had 51 shots off target last season.

[1964white]

Pascal Struijk in his 22 appearances, outscored our two main centre-backs & centre midfielders.

[1964white]

Aaronson just dropped below the 50% marker to keep, so we can eliminate him now.

[1964white]

If we bring in six or seven quality signings this summer, I can't see the likes of Piroe, Gelhardt, Gyabi, Cresswell or even one of Kamara or Gruev getting many games. It's conceivable at least four of those six players maybe sold or sent out on loan.

You need a 22 man squad ... we have around 13-15 at the moment if you factor in the returning loanees won't be part of the plan and we sell 2/3

So if we loan out 4 we'll need around 12 new players ..we also need to stiffen the 21's
