So this playmaker we all want, do we just drop Ross for him ??

Yes, if ross doesnt perform, he shouldnt start, much like if the new fella doesnt perform then its ross's chance. Pick and choose, thats the beauty of having quality options.

Then again we might see Ross deeper at times this season

So 5 more players in your opinion. Lets just say we had 35million to spend on players (which we don't) - an average 7million player gets you very little for your money these days, and by my understanding you are wanting quality and quantity, which isn't going to happen. Come 31 August if we get 5more of a high standard I will doth my cap !!

Yep. If we want to be challenging for trophies, or challenging for fourth it's five more people min.

Be that either from bringing players through the youth team which is a possibility as the likes of Henen have a chance to make it, and Liam Walsh, Ryan Ledson (both who are a few years away)

Or by a more realistic route of signing players and mixing it with bringing young players through.

You can look at it that way because thats what it is *so far* we've just papered over cracks.

I'll let you know at the end of the window.

For me we still need (AFTER a center half and a playmaker)

:

A goalkeeper to get rid of Howard, and to challenge Joel


A right back to cover coleman, think tyias is more of a center half who can play there and needs to go out on loan

we definitely need a striker to be a back up to Romelu.


All those and we'll be stronger, until then, nah.

There's no chance we'll be signing another 5 players this summer Aaron, not a cat in hells chance.

I didn't say there was mate, i said thats what we'd need to realistically improve.

Otherwise it's just more of the same. And covering cracks.

Cos they was found out teams pressed us and we couldn't handle it an the use of over aged players who are past it,we need to mix it up with new quality players to be stronger otherwise it's as you were reguarding last season.

Rubbish, good players don't get found out, not a full teams worth. That's a lazy throw away media comment.

They just did not play well at a crucial time, meaning we had to play catch up.

Wouldn't surprise me to just see one more come in and then that's it.

seydou doumbia Available for loan from roma could be a good backup for rom even though he hasnt bought his form from cska to roma

That's more realistic in my opinion, Ledson, Dowell, Long and Kenny all have potential but then so did lots of other of our youth products for every Rooney there is a Branch etc

I'd take him, better than Kone, fast strong player can finish as well

Surely if we get a decent back up centreback we've improved on what we had last season?

What do you mean by that?

We should have enough to buy what we've been painfully missing for several years in a proper number 10, robertos own words were it was his main target

I think Martinez' tactics got found out without players like Pienaar or Deulofeu and it took him a long time to go to a plan B.

We have him. Deulofeu.
