I think we are in a situation squad wise where I'm relatively confident only on Macca and Szobo, and perhaps Curtis, being here next season. Everyone else, be it Allison, starting back four and all of our starting strikers from yesterday (plus Nunez), could be off. Same with anyone on the bench. Not all of them will be let to leave at the same time of course, but a good half dozen of the squad could go.
Then there are some who we as a collective believe will or should be off, like Endo, Nunez, Chiesa, Elliott. But none of us know what Slot's plans for next season are, and it is conceivable that some of these underused players will find more minutes next season depending on what kind of players are coming in, and perhaps thereby creating a new dynamic on the pitch and a new role for a player who hasn't played much this season. All of the mentioned (Endo, Nunez, Chiesa, Elliott) I think have a lot to offer, if the team balance is a bit different next season, along with Slot perhaps being able to trust his squad to do their jobs the way the gaffer want ball to be played.
I'm at considerable ease with the situation, Arne has earn the trust. But here comes the sticky bit: it all comes down to Hughes getting the players Arne needs and for FSG to foot the bill.
