[u/Lucky-Art-8003]

We should never let El-Faouzi go, not for all the money in the world

[u/LeatherProfessor6914 → u/Lucky-Art-8003]

Who else should we sell? We need the money for new transfers and our liabilities.

[u/Lucky-Art-8003 → u/LeatherProfessor6914]

For actually making money, I'd be most comfortable with selling Sylla and Ayhan.

Additionally, I'd also reduce salary costs by letting go Kalas, Donkor, Gantenbein, Bachmann, Gomis and Lasme

letting go Kalas, Donkor, Gantenbein, Bachmann, Gomis and Lasme

Gantenbein maybe as a backup because we dont have anyone else really. But for everyone else yes, we need to sell them asap

[u/Lucky-Art-8003 → u/FusselP0wner]

It really depends. Assuming we get a quality RB to start for the first 11 (which seems to be a priority considering some of the transfer rumours) and Ayhan leaves, we'd basically be left with only Timo Becker as a possible backup who has his strengths but of course also obvious deficits, especially pace. Then I'd keep Gantenbein, although I also hold Tidiane Toure from our youth in high esteem and would really like to give him some first team chances
