Still loads to do really. A midfielder with genuine creative quality, a first choice goalkeeper, a striker to replace Kone/Niasse, and someone who can play right back.

We have prioritised some odd positions ahead of this IMO.

I think we may play Deulofeu as the 2nd striker. Mirallas on the right, Yannick on the left.
 

Agree on all except right back tbh mate.

I think Holgate is more than capable. He looks a player and spent a lot of time playing full back during his academy time and time at Barnsley.

As back up I'd say he's more than adequate. Can always re-visit in Jan if needed :)

I'd forgotten about Holgate tbh.
 
built for direct, counter-attacking football with the added ability to also play the sexy stuff that RM wanted (but ultimately ended up just going sideways)
It seems to me that the manager who we went out our way to get and the fella who built a league winning team out of misfits and average players actually are doing something decent here.

Take the individuals out of it , on the whole the team actually looks quite good as a unit when these signings are made. If we aren't signing ingredients individuals and signing parts to a team unit then that is quite impressive in all honesty.
 

Updated formation.

Personally cant see The Ronster playing 3 at the back, he wouldnt have bought a winger if so, I know stuff :

Stickleback
Coleman - Williams - Kone - Baines
Gueye
Barkley - A Silva
Geri -------------- Bolasie
Lukaku
Subs : Robles, Mori, Mata @Connor, Mirallas, Lennon, Haller, Barry

I think we've prioritised about right Macca. Our defence was an absolute shambles last season, a bloody embarrassment game after game. Bringing in 2 big lads like Williams and Kone imo instantly makes us look like a bigger defensive unit. Bolasie ( if he signs ) offers us a Left winger and an out ball with pace, or someone to support Rom. the Villa kid by all accounts is there to chase down and hassle the opposition, something none of our midfield seem to do. Even Stekkers in goal looks like an upgrade on what we've had for a while.

Granted we still need more quality and depth, GK, CM and up top but if we just cut out the absolute crap defending from last season, well I reckon we can instantly add 15 points onto the board.
