How many players do we need?

[GwladysStreetHero]

If lukaku goes back Chelsea then we need a proven quality striker if we're gonna even try on four fronts next season.

Would honestly take lukaku for around 20mil if given the chance think he needs a partner tho rather than always the lone frontman week in week out.

Osman needs to go and Ledson and another 2 CM signed to rotate in the midfield as Gibson can't be trusted to be fit.

Duffy needs game time with stones.

 

[Lewisefc92]

I think 7 players. Barry and Del Boy back on loan, get Gibson and Oviedo back and then IMO we need 2 strikers, a centre back, a winger and an attacking central midfielder.

Suggestions - Bony & Traore(Loan)
Centre back - Jose Fonte
Centre Midfielder - Jack Colback
Winger - Muniain

 

[Moomin]

12.4 players needed

 

[sageyefc]

3 or 4 Perms and 3 or 4 loans.

2 strikers and a proper number 10, 2 center mids if barry doesnt sign, 1 if he does, Young pienaer replacement, a replacement for hibbo

Haha, your idea of an attacking center midfielder is Jack Colback.

Face the wall young sir.

 

[Barkley85]

with the current squad you can add Gibson to CM, Kone to ST and Oviedo to LB,

Ideal scenario Keep Barry and Lukaku on permanents, keep traore on loan and possibly Del if all that happens bring in 1 more CM Onazi or Milner would be good signings

I'd rather we go in for quality rather than quantity transfer wise. Promote from within the youth ranks as much as possible.

I agree.

There are some hopeful signs this is Martinez's approach, too. He's willing to trust youth, with square pegs in square holes.

It would mean that we'd be a bit short for a few games in the season in terms of experience and absolute quality. But we'd be able to buy fewer, better players - while also giving youth valuable experience.

Not to forget his magic touch in the loan market, too.

 

[Barkley85]

we have around £25-27 mil to spend if you believe RM and lukaku would cost at around £20-23 mil so providing we keep traore and Del we would only have around £5 mil or so unless he dips into the TV cash to fund 1-2 other players

I still have this feeling we will sell Mirallas this summer for the sort of money we would never get again. I don't mind too much if it means RM signs Lukaku and is allowed to reinvest all money that comes in.

I doubt we'd get enough for Mirallas to make it worth selling him.

 

[MJ1]

Jack Colback could be a good squad addition.
I would also like to sign Lukaku, tie down Barkley and Barry then bring players through like Lundstram, Garbutt, Browning as cover.

Wouldn't mind Speroni in goal either

 

[MJ1]

CM's for Europe: Colback and Gibson
CM's for league: Barry and McCarthy

 

[flibbyflob]

I doubt we'd get enough for Mirallas to make it worth selling him.

Good world cup and we get a silly £15m+ bid for him. Be tempted to take that.

 

[Dymak]

Colback was absolutely crap for the majority of this season, it's only recently that he has improved, and even then he hasn't been amasing.

I'm the same as this.

Don't want any old rubbish just to fill a hole. I want difference makers.

But I want doesn't always get.
