SHOULD we finish 4th, what do people think about James Milner as a potential signing?
Doesn't get much game time, and I think for £12-15 million he could be bought. Can play wide if needed but I reckon at CM he could really offer us something
Milner is decent but I think in a central role, we have someone similar in McCarthy IMO.
Like Milner, McCarthy as a great energy and gets about the pitch all game long so I don't think we need another player like that in Milner.
Once Gibson is fit, and we sign Barry permanently we will have 3 very good CM's competing for 2 spots. We could possibly look to sign another CM on loan for cover/competition, someone like Rodwell, Jonathan Dos Santos or Casimero maybe?!
It's in attacking areas where we need to be looking at for me. We need 2 strikers IMO, Lukaku the main one but if we get priced out then we should be looking at the likes of Bony, Remy, Drmic, Bacca, Doumbia, Alcacer. Then possibly get Traore on loan for a season, plus Kone and we should be ok up top.
We definitely need to try and get Deulofeu back on loan for another season, he adds pace and trickery and come next season he will be more consistent with it and be a real threat at times.
Then I think we need another option in attacking midfield. Think we need some creativity in there and who can get goals aswell. Someone like Tadic or Firmino or even Rafinha on loan from Barca?!
Think I'd also look at a young CB to come in and go under Distin's wing for a season, maybe Martins-Indi or Hinteregger?
