Back up GK - Lindegaard (United)/Schmeichel (Leicester) - although both would want to be regulars and I would have no problems dropping Howard
CB - Winston Reid (West Ham) - fast, strong, and good on the ball. Being made captain of WHU at the age of 23 also speaks volumes about his character
CM - James McCarthy (Wigan) - IMO he will be the next Roy Keane. Excellent defensive midfielder who excels in a weak team
Winger - James Morrison (WBA) - Pacey, excellent passing, good on the ball and knows where the goal is.
No.10 - IMO we have several players who can play that role - Barkley, Pienaar and Mirallas. I would rather get a second CM. For that position I would go for Leroy Fer.
Striker - Negredo is the dream. Kone (Wigan) perhaps more realistic
