We need a new GK, CB, Winger and a creative midfielder as a bare minimum IMO. Ideally we'd add another striker and RB too.

A proven Premiership goalkeeper....Begovic or Vorm as an absolute priority. That will give the back 3/4 confidence.
Then, a proven 'lock-picker' in the mould of Fabregas/Modric.....don't know Euro football well enough to propose someone.
As mentioned earlier in the thread Jordie Clasie....what an engine that lad has.
A winger with pace to burn but some ability with it....Konoplyanka seems popular.

CB is quite important as well.

I've got a feeling Mirallas will still be with us next season, which I'll be glad like. But we still need some better quality out wide, and to play behind the striker I reckon.

He could do with a stint out on loan could Galloway, same with Browning really. If we give Alcaraz another year and sign another CB then with 4 decent senior pros challenging for the CB spots then we could send the 2 youngsters out for game time.
We're being linked to Lyon's Umtiti this weekend. Caught the eye of scouts apparently after we were scouting Lacazette & Fekir. Umtiti is a left sided CB.

Agree mate. I actually think we need a GK, CB, creative midfielder, wether that be a deep CM or a No.10, 2 wingers with one that's atleast first team ready and as good as or better than Mirallas (Rafael Silva, Ayew, Konoplyanka, Deulofeu) and a striker definitely. I wouldn't mind either Austin or Ings but if Martinez thinks the likes of McAleny, Long or Henen are capable of stepping up and challenging, then fair enough.

Hmm, know what your saying. I don't think he'll lump all his kitty on one player this time round though!
Who's to say he'll get £30m straight up this summer before sales?!....

I think CB isn't in that bad shape. If we re-sign Alcaraz for a season and bring in Browning for the first team, then we don't need to spend money on it.
We definitely need to have 3/4 adjustments though at least:
1. Robles being our #1 keeper
2. Konoplyanka. He looks really good, and is available for free this summer from memory. He'd be another addition of true quality and even in the worst case we'd easily sell him for 8-10m+ at least.
3. A real creative midfielder to play behind Lukaku. Barkley, with all the potential he has, doesn't yet create enough chances. This is a tough one as creative players aren't guaranteed to settle well so I'm not sure who'd we go for.
4. A striker to take the pressure off Lukaku. Whether it's McAleny or Long (personally think Long has got a much better chance), we need another striker and Kone is admittedly half useful so him, Lukaku + 1 should be enough.
#1 and #2 should take no more than £5m max of the budget with Kono's signing on fee.
#3 you could say up to £20m
#4 along with new contracts for a couple of players should take up the remaining 5m

Would we really want alcaraz here for another year though? His injury record is appalling!
Firmino. He's absolutely class and would do very well. The Bundesliga is similar to the Premier League too so settling shouldnt be an issue. No idea what Hoffenheim would want but yeah, I'd spunk a lot of it on him.
Then the rest on Gerard, bring him back home (away from home)!
