Roberto already made noises that he wants to keep Traore here for next season. Lukaku will be very difficult to hold on and failing that, my personal preference would be Bony. My guess however is Michy Batshuayi. Deulofeu will probably join again on loan and can't see Barry going anywhere else. Guess will bring in another CDM as understudy to Barry/mcCarthy and who I want as creative ACM/winger is well known by now I reckon. A back up for Coleman should also be a priority for me. Also if there's anything left after that a left sided centre back.
 

Hahaha Bony or Benteke to go along side Lukakau next season

Lay of the glue mate
Benteke has not been the same player and has one of the worst Injuries a player can get sadly. He will not be the player we saw last season. Villa will rue not getting 26mil for him last summer.
 
Roberto Firmino just signed a new deal at the end of last month.


I wouldn't read too much into that mate, he only previously had a year left on his deal after this season so to not lose him on cheap they gave him a new deal.

He as a lot of interest in him from the likes of Dortmund, Schalke & links to Liverpool of late aswell so could be hard to get him at us but he's the type of quality we need.

What I like about him and the difference in him compared to likes of Barkley, Osman & Naismith (not him as such) is that he's an attacking mid that wants to get in box and beyond the striker and score goals.

The ones I've mentioned, especially Barkley, don't make runs in behind Lukaku and give us another goal threat, a bit like what Cahill brought to the side and Firmino, aswell as being a class act and creative, always wants to get in the box and score goals and we need more goals in the team.

If not Firmino then definitely Tadic for me!

As for Remy I'd definitely have him at us. He's got pace to burn, great movement, some skill and can score goals. Watching Lukaku of late, I'm starting to feel we'd be better of not spending big on him and looking at the likes of Remy or Bony instead.
 
As much as I'd love us too I don't think we'll get Lukaku.

I think we need to bring in a quality winger, attacking midfielder, striker and centre half all permanently.

Then maybe re loan Troare and Del?

Hopefully Martinez will do a lot of business with the money we've got floating about from players leaving.

Most importantly I think we need to keep hold of our youngsters though, vital ross Stones and Coleman go no where. McCarthy and Baines are both in the bag so that's something...
 
Here's a few interesting players who are going on a free in the summer;

Bafetimbi Gomis - or 'Baby Drogba' according to Wiki even though he's 28. Scored 62 in 172 games for Lyon, looks like the type of player that Martinez likes up front.

Mame Biram Diouf - has scored 25 in 57 since he left the premiership for Germany (Hannover) which is a pretty good record given that they're a bottom half of the table side.

Jeremy Menez - tricky, quick, skillful, a very good winger who I'd love to see arrive at the club.


I'd take a punt on either Gomis or Diouf tbh. Menez as talent but can be a funny [Poor language removed] if he doesn't get played regularly.

Saw us linked to Seydou Keita during week on a free and even at 34 I'd take him for a year as a squad player. Vastly experienced player and would be a good player to call upon IMO.

Diouf, does look sick tbf, pace and finishing. But not proven in bpl, I'd prefer Hernandez. Menez, given it would be a free is a no brainer, guy can play wide or central and makes things happen.
 
Essentially we need to keep everyone we've got and add 5 more id say to cover us for EL.

If Lukaku and Barry leave they need replacing.

Hopefully some of the youngster: Garbutt, Ledson, Browning will get some game time in Europe too.
