problem is we need a backup striker who is going to be happy sitting on the bench for the majority of the season and may occasionally get the odd game here and there in the cup or a pointless european game which we don't need to win or if DCL is injured / suspended or tired.

unless you think simms can make the step up next season there is not a huge choice out there. i think we should have gone for ollie watkins at brentford but that ship has now flown.

Yes Spud, but do you think we need a Striker who has scored 3 goals in 2 seasons?

I think if we get in Europe we will certainly need another striker, they will get a minimum of 10 starts, because of the Extra games

Our bench last night would suggest we need at least a few more in squad wise in my humble opinion.

Now we clearly lack a right back and a backup Striker, that's quite glaring, even more so if we assume that King wont be retained.

Depth of course is another issue, we have Delph, Gmblammo and LOL, Besic who, well, they haven't been with us. So ideally you would be looking to offload Delph and Besic and replace them. Then another body will really depend on Gmblammo, hopefully before the end of the season we get more of an answer.

I know Gomes and Gyfi have their knockers, but, they would stay in my squad.

So then widers wise, Rico is probably a Striker at this point, so that leaves us with a sadly injury-prone Hamez, so for sure we need more quality there.

For me, the bare min this window we need to add a Right Back and a backup Striker, 1 not named Martin Braithwaite,

Then we need to replace the 2 players who haven't contributed for the last 2 seasons and no, not Gmblammo, cos hes not yet for the bin, not yet.

For a non-European season I think that would be enough, Europa we would need 1 or 2 more and for CL we would need 3 or 4 more.

So for me we must buy RB, ST, CM, RW and ship Delph, at the very min.

Then try and 1 In 1 Out other players, like Bernard, Iwobi and possibly 1 of Gomes and Iceberg, *gasp*.

I really like Andre, but his up and down form, coupled with his laid back style will never catch on here and I just think ideally we need 2 CMs, 1 defensive and 1 offensive, but if given the choice I would pick a door unlocker number 8 over a tackle merchant number 6.



TL DR everybody is for sale apart from Keane, Godfrey, DCL, Rico, Digne, Allan and Doucs.

Holgate was very good at CB last season. Think Godfrey and Mina have jumped ahead of him in the queue now though. He’s versatile which is important in a squad player, so would rather we kept him. But we do need at top RB to open up the right side for us.

Agreed. Looks like Aarons could be the one- if reports are to be believed

I believe whatever the Don says and believe him later when he said he really meant 4-5 players when we bring in 5 new starters.

I dont question the Don, though he tolerates it out of his generous heart, it is ill advised.

I think it will be 5 players not all starters but all good enough to be starters.
1. Right Back
2. Goalkeeper
3. Attacking Midfielder
4. Right Forward
5. Striker

Top 3 I would like to go straight into the team the other 2 on the bench. He might have Olsen and King in mind for 2 and 5. If we get CL we need better than these two. I hope we can get Tosun, Delph, Kenny etc out early. Ancelotti is the master of mind games I wish he'd been our manager against peak Ferguson.
