If we keep Stones (which I'm not convinced we will) I'm actually not arsed about a defender. Browning and Galloway are decent back ups, and if one of them has to step in then they have to take their chance.
Number 10/Winger would be nice, but again, the players are there within the squad to do a job - Barkley, Del, Kev are as talented a bunch as we're going to see behind the striker without mega investment. Its a case of managing them correctly and getting the best out of them. Osman, Pienaar, Connor, McGeady are semi-able deputies.
Coming round to the idea that the most pressing need is a striker to give Rom competition. Rather than a hold up player, I'd like to see a Tevez, Saurez type, someone who can press and worry defenders with acceleration. Wouldn't mind seeing some sort of punt at this, any ideas? Could Shaqiri play this role?
Jesus, you are Bill's wet dream!
