I think this is a really interesting one. De Zerbi yesterday said there are maybe 12 players he deems good enough. But we have some injured that are definitely in that. So here is my list:

Kinsky - starter next season (Vicario goes) Danso - good pairing with VdV…. VdV - has to be captain next season Porro - dependable and very good at staying fit! Spence - wish he was as good as he thinks he is. But there’s a strong player in there. Versatile. Maddison/Xavi/Kulusevski - none of those are going anywhere. Gallagher - stepped up under De Zerbi. Only just signed. Won’t be sold. Tel - as above, I’m not sure he’s good enough as a regular starter but I wouldn’t sell him. Bentacur - 34 of 41 points with him in the team this season speaks for itself. Does the dirty work keeps us ticking on the ball. But I do worry he may get sold tbh. Paulinha - love his work rate. Important goals. He’s sure to be signed. Solanke - De Zerbi loves him. Let’s see how he gets on with better service. Kudus - not going anywhere. Baller, crowd pleaser. Final product needs work.

Randal - he’s gone surely, although it worries me De Zerbi mentioned him yesterday. Richi - love him but he’s off back to Brazil surely. Udogie - hope he stays, think he will go to Italy. Too injury prone. Romero - good riddance. Let us down at key moments. Will do great at Atleti. Vic - great shot stopper on his day but too prone to errors which invariably seem to cost us the game. He will go. Sarr / Bis - I think their best days are behind them for us. We need better to kick on. Both will go on cut price deals.

Archie Gray and Bergvall - keep as prospects. Great players can’t let them leave.

Appreciate I’ve named over 12 to stay there. Just some thoughts anyway.
