Winks and Zinchenko would be a great start in a rebuild for the midfield. Winks isn’t exactly a Hollywood signing but I’m willing to give him a chance. He’s no where near as bad as people make out and he was great for them under Poch, hopefully Lampard can bring the same. We’re desperate for someone in midfield to actually keep hold of the ball.
Add a centre half, a winger and / or a forward and that’ll do for me. Thing we’ll end up with that lad from Hull if we get a big sale. Looks like Thelwell is being allowed to get on with it so I’ve got faith he’ll get us a functional squad at least.
I think people will need to temper expectations this season, we’ll probably be aiming for top 10 as depressing as that is and reducing the squad’s high earners this summer so that we can actually spend without restriction next year. Think this is why we’d be going after the like of the lad from Hull this summer because it’ll give him a year to bed in, along with Patterson and a full season for Myko so that’ll effectively hopefully leave us with 2 flanks covered in defence and attack for the next few years.
