The time has come :)
So what do you think has got to be done in the summer regarding ins and outs?

He didnt work out and we are getting our money back
I'd hope for around £15m for Benrahma given he is doing well at Lyon and if Loppy doesnt want Cornet I'd still hope for £10m All goes in the pot for players we DO want

We’re selling players based on old valuations when they were frozen out by a departing manager. It’s the new way of being sold down the river and very poor business.

Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano AS Monaco trigger the buy option clause for Thilo Kehrer to stay at the club on permanent deal from West Ham.
#WHUFC are set to receive fee around €11m.

AS Monaco is pleased to announce the club has activated the purchase option for Thilo Kehrer. The 27 year old German international centre back, who arrived in January from West Ham United (Premier League) has signed a 4-season deal and has joined les Rouge & Blanc through June 2028.

I don't see us buying anyone from Norwich. Kilman very viable for reasons known, plus Wolves have to sell.

Was kilman his captain at wolves?
I see Norwich are in trouble so could we pick up Sara and Rowe (think that’s the right spellings and can’t be bothered to check this early).

JWP would be the obvious choice if he was a starter Lopetegui.
I can't see anyone from the current crop that stands out. I agree with Fare Cough. I like a captain to be in the middle of the pitch.

I think Bowen would be a good choice
Assume everyone is thinking we will try and move Zouma with his dodgy knee on If we are trying to transition to a team that has the ball I'd be moving Soucek out .... should get a decent fee for him especially if he has a good Euros

Clubfoot Tomas?
Interesting choice.

Soucek should have been captain this year.
Always leads by example in terms of effort and work rate. I notice he is always speaking to the ref as well.

I prefer my captains to be midfield generals or central defenders, therefore I would choose Alvarez but the bloke is a walking red card, so that leaves........?

Bowen should be captain. Committed his long term future, understands the club, sets example with his work rate, our key player, and has grown in influence. Also has his head screwed on and talks very well.
Seems entirely logical to me.

I can't see JWP being in the starting line up next season so can't see him being captain.
FWIW I reckon Paqueta will still be here.
If Lop is playing his favoured 433 I see us setting up as below. I reckon we need new 4 new 1st team signings:
------------------------ Areloa -- New RB --- Mavro ----- New CB --- Emerson --------- Kudus ----- Alvarez ----- Paqueta --- Bowen -------- New CF ----------- New LW
If Paqueta goes it would be a little underwhelming to have JWP in his place.
Depending upon how many U21s step up and who is retained I reckon we will need another 2-3 new signings for the squad.

There’s no reason why he can’t flourish in a new system.
As an experienced, Premier league Englishman, he gets my vote as captain

I keep reading that JWP is going to be captain next season which is strange as it would mean he is in the starting 11.

Scott I read one of his stipulations coming here is that signings are not left to the end of the window due to the massive overhaul and that he and Tim have already been in contact with players and clubs to get them done early. That’s not to say some won’t come in late but the majority are done early and he has already identified who they are. Wouldn’t be surprised to see 3/4 signings in the first couple of weeks. Probably wants them done early due to euros but doesn’t that kick off the same time the window opens?

Sir Alf,
Agree. I expect that some of our best signings this summer will be names that we've either never heard of or not thought about before.

Saw a headline this morning, I think it was a West Ham site but I can't remember where it was, that stated "West Ham assembling amazing team under Lopetegui". Which was odd because we haven't made any signings yet.
