The first three there I'm willing to give another chance, otherwise I'd agree.

Gueye and Vellios need to realize that they're not Prem-level players, Osman and Hibbert probably both realize that if they want to continue playing the game, it needs to be somewhere lower than the Prem.

Although, if we get Europa, it may be worth keeping a few of those 4 on the cheap to grind out the group stage and fill in early season cup fixtures.

Think Hibbo is Championship standard, but Osman could do a job at a Sunderland or even a decent job at Swansea. He's just a step below our level unfortunately.

Alcaraz has been injured for almost two years straight and is the wrong side of 30 - there isn't much of a hope of a happy outcome there. Same with Gibson.

Can understand people wanting to give Kone a chance; I'm not one of them though.

In Gibbo's case, ACL's are pretty freak injuries. Land wrong on one high impact move and it can happen even to the fittest of players. Otherwise, I'd agree with you, but I feel like the latest is different than his other injuries.

In Alcaraz's case, he was rushed back and pressed into heavy service by necessity. We'll definitely have a better idea of if it was circumstances or his own fitness by the end of the season, so I reserve the right to change my opinion. :P

I don't think we've got a big enough squad to 'get rid of players', but that saying that I hope we see as much action from Hibbert, Gueye and Alcaraz next season as we've seen this season.

As for players in, we need a CB who's as good as the ones we have at the moment to provide competition and/or cover. For me Lescott could be purchased on the cheap, and we know he's got PL quality and experience.

We also need numbers in the middle. If Barry stays then thats perfect, however if Barry and McCarthy are injured/suspended we don't have much over. I said it in the transfer thread but no one seemed to react, but Mark Noble from West Ham would be a great addition. He can certainly pass (this season averages 53.5 passes per game, 83.2% accurate) and tackle, and at a relegation price we could get a bargain. We could also do with another attacking threat, I'm not sure about this one though. I'm sure a foreigner could do a good job at a cheaper rate. I'll leave to Roberto.

Striker is obviously needed. I'm not sure how Kone will fair next season with a year off work. However with him and Vellios the only strikers on our books, we need to invest. I think 25 mil MAX is what we should be prepared to offer Lukaku, hopefully his recent form will lower his price. There's a lot of decent strikers abroad, and I'll leave that to Roberto to pick, but in the UK the only one that stands out is Dzeko.

Finally, wide men. Obviously we play our FB's as wingers these days to allow the 3 front guys to head towards the goal. McGeady looks impressed at the weekend, but if we can get another winger on loan, I think it's provide decent cover.

So whats that? About 30-40million? Seems reasonable. I can't see Martinez making too many signings in the summer as we have a very impressive squad as it is. He'll just replace Moyes's deadwood.

Howard,Jags,Baines,Coleman,Mirallas,Pienaar,Naismith,Distin, Gibson,are moyes dead wood Martinez great season but i hope his dead wood Alcaraz,kone, do one next season
but his dead wood s
 
I wouldn't say we havnt got the squad to Sell players (well minus selling jelly and heit) I'd like to see that zardes from la galaxy
 

With the size of our squad and presumably European football of some descriptions we should keep all our players and rely on natural wastage for the older less used squad players.

I would like to buy Rodwell (only if on the cheap - injuries etc), Holtby and Loic Remy.

Would only keep Lukaku if cheap as doesn't always seem bothered.

Further to incomings/outgoings, I would like to see more of the youth given a runout rather than the old and bold on the bench.
 
Deulofeu would also be a good loan for another season as I can't see Barca parting with him and if they do I think his price will be a luxury we can I'll afford.
