Don't want Welbeck anywhere near our club. Especially not for any sort of actual money.
Bony I am warming to. There's the one-season wonder risk and the fact that he'll go on ACON walkabout every so often, but he's younger and less rapey than Remy. In my mind, it's Bony or Benteke to go along with Lukaku, but we have to get rid of Kone and Traore to free up wage space if we want to bring in two strikers.
Barry.... as good as he's been this year, age makes you slower and some players lose their pace almost overnight. I have a nagging worry that Barry is on the cliff edge. I don't want him AND Gibson in the squad, because that's too much risk at one position. Keep one or the other and bring in De Guzman and one of Cork or Colback or Cleverly.
Traore - I've seen nothing of him. I can't decide if he's worth keeping or not, because he's played what, thirty minutes for us?
Del - No brainer. Definite keep. Allows Mirallas and McGeady to play on the left, which means we can replace Pienaar, and he shows outrageous promise.
CDM on loan - see Barry above. Or maybe Baines moves to CDM, if Garbutt is judged to be ready to back up Oviedo? I would love to see some of our squad depth issues solved by some of our youth players coming through.
CB - Alcaraz has to go. Distin, Jags and Stones are a great trio, although Distin and Jags may not have all that much longer left to play at prem level. If Duffy is ready, then he comes in to replace Alcaraz. If he isn't then he stays out on loan, Alcaraz goes and we bring in another CB. However, CB is a position where Man U might be looking to sign three or four players this summer, so the market price is going to inflate at that position.
