Exactly what I've been saying for months.
The current squad is already capable of a 70+ points tally over a 38 game league season. Ten Hag had them massively underperforming for more than a year.
A good number of the players with no real future at the club are in the last year of their contracts: Eriksen, Evans, Lindelöf, maybe Maguire as well. We've already got rid of a lot of players last summer too: AWB, McTominay, Greenwood, van de Beek, Martial, Varane, Sancho.
Casemiro and Antony might be difficult assets to sell, but both of them provide at least some usefulness to the squad. Still, it's only just two players and I'm sure there will be opportunities to sell Casemiro to Saudi Arabia or somewhere outside Europe, and I think Antony will accept that he has to leave if he barely gets any game time, rather than warming the bench with no future at the club.
If you look at our wage bill, we've put ourselves in a really good position over the last 24 months and now actually have a lot of space for new players, and to offer our current best performers improved terms when the time for that comes.
Our lowish net spend last summer, combined with many "pure profit" sales (McT, Greenwood, Carreras, Kambwala) to help PSR, as well as the supposed continued external investment into the club by Ratcliffe should put us into a healthy financial status as well, with a lot of money to spend on the market, if we wish to.
I think this squad doesn't need gutting at all. A few departures and a few good additions each summer will see us turn into title contenders within the next two seasons IMO, if Amorim and his coaching staff are as good as we, and Ineos want to believe they are.
He'd be bullying half of our 1st team squad from day one.
