Otherwise agree with your choices.
I'm sure the club has a list of who will be out this summer, next summer and the summer after, and that the scouts have already been briefed accordingly and looking for suitable prospects.
I don't think Alison will happen, its all been too public, I wouldn't be surprised if RM take him and leave De Gea up in the air!
Good point about the warmup and I don't remember seeing whether he did one or not. Think he picked up an earlier injury in the same fashion earlier in the season. Sturridge MK11 is about right. To big a player for us to be injured all the time so get in someone who will.
Milner still has a year to run so if he stays he stays but imo his fitness levels are declining year on year and he will want more regular matches. He is 32 now so maybe him and his agent will look to seal a deal that will carry him to 35. Just don't think we should be guaranteeing him the game time.
Not so sure we plan that far into the future mate. We have a few players that could potentially wind down their contracts here like Can did. Sturridge is another but the point is that these players have a sell on value that we won't get which will effect spending at some point. I think what we spend is based on whats in the bank and that in turn affects who we sign.
Yeah agree on Allison. James Pearce says we won't be signing him anyway and we are happy to stick it out with Karius which I would be fine with. Think he has come on in all areas of his game and wouldn't mind if he was no 1 next season again.

The fear that Roma want extra because we got Salah on the cheap made me laugh
