Summer Transfer Window 2017

[messymascot]

We literally need around £100 million If we are to push for top (although I think we'll only spend around half of that)

GK- £20 million

CB- £20 million

CB- £20 million

LB- £15 million

ST- £25 million

There or thereabouts for the varying positions.

I would add a left sided attacker another attacking midfielder and a 3rd striker so perhaps another £55 million on top of that.

Difficult to see anyone breaking into this midfield. Would much rather we have s full run to Davies and Barkley than buy in unecessary players. Obviously if he's a league ahead of these two then fine it's worth it for the quality uplift, but is he?

Best midfield in the world is it mate?

Best midfield in the world is it mate?

Certainly not.

 

[kithnou]

Certainly not.

For me, every position at the moment apart from Lukaku, is up for grabs.

 

[CRIMHEAD]

Certainly not.

Then I think it's pretty obvious there are players that can break into it.

Even if we play Gana, Morgan, and Davies, which I'm not sure we should BTW, but there needs to be someone to play with Rom and Ross. That can be an attacking middy or a striker. Think we need both.

Elite CB and two attacking players is going to cost us close to 100M. I also suggest a winger and a backup at LB, perhaps another u23 stud or two if we are in Europe. That should all be doable under a FFP with our sales and the tidy profit we should have this year.

Yep, I'm as guilty as everyone else for getting caught up in the hysteria of crushing a few teams at Goodison when there's zero to play for.

 

[Librarian]

We need to use our Russian contacts to harvest / steal the DNA of the worlds best players and grow a batch of super clones in some kind of Ion chamber, stir in a leopards leg and rabbits eyes and a couple of donkey flutes for confidence

I think the tactical set up is wrong as well. We're neither set up to break a team down nor set up to play on the break. We have a team set up to control possession but can't do anything with it as the midfield has no pace or width. At least when we played 343 we had the full backs right out wide. This 4321 doesn't really make any sense, the only game it's worked was Bournemouth and we still conceded 3 at home.

 

[Bourney]

I'd cry if we signed Joe Hart i don't know what it is just can't stand the guy

 

[jinkyali]

For me we need to add three to five top class players to have us pushing significantly to the top.

Centre half
Left back
Left sided attacker
Centre forward
Diminutive attacker in the mould of Silva/Coutinho

Buying him would be one of the worst moves we have made for a long time, not many keepers are bad enough for Benny Hill themed show real

 

[Tony Hibbert's 3rd leg]

Keane should be a priority defender.
Sigurdsson a priority creative midfielder.
Keeper is a priority. Striker is a priority.

Then I'd be looking at another central defender (Unless one is brought through), and a left back.

Would you take mahrez

Personally no as I don't think we could rely on him.

I do think if Ron approves we will go for him in summer though .

Yes I'm not sure myself but think he fits the type of player we need & think he would be attainable just not sure about him seems very flakey
