With Youri Tielemans, Karl Darlow, and exciting 18-year-old winger Tynan Thompson officially through the door from Tottenham, what does this mean for squad depth? We address the latest Crysencio Summerville transfer rumours, the status of Ben Nelson, and growing concerns over Lisandro Martinez’s fitness issues. Should we sell prominent stars? We weigh in heavily on the future of Marcus Rashford—is staying at the club the right move for both parties?
