How many players do we need?

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

don't be daft the lads something like our 2nd top scorer and has our most assists and is a good age, it would be suicidal to let him go considering Mcgeady has done little, pienaar is past it and Del boy will be off to barca
 

I reckon a few of the youth players will be promoted next season so there wont be a massive need for 5 or 6 signings say. I reckon we'll see more of McAleny next season.

£15m is not "silly money" for Kev. That's market value. He can play on the wing, he can play in the middle, he can play up front. He has end product.
 
We have 38 league game
At least 6-8 euro games depending on if we need to qualify.
At least 2-4 cup games
So 46-50 games minimum next season,
I'd say at LEAST 5 players more.
We realistically could play 60 odd games next season
The Europa will be 15-17 games to win it alone.
 

Priority is a striker and Creative/attacking midfielder. Id be happy with us using all our budget on these and getting loans/bosmans in with them.
 
I would be very wary of relying too much on Gibson (seems to have one foot in the sickbay most of the time), Pienaar & Osman are on the verge of being passed it as is Hibbert. Kone is unknown, will Barry stay? Traore? Will Del boy come back?
Hell's teeth - that is a quite a few players out of the squad already ........
 
Senior players (24 players)

Goalkeepers: Robles, Howard

Defenders: Coleman, Baines, Jagielka, Oviedo, Distin, Stones, Alcaraz

Midfielders: Gibson, Rodwell, McGeady, Deulofeu, Mirallas, McCarthy, Barry, Barkley, Osman, Pienaar, Tadic

Strikers: Kone, Naismith, Lukaku, Traore

Academy players who could be promoted to the first team (6 players): Garbutt, Kennedy, Lundstram, Browning, Stanek, Ledson

Permanent signings: Lukaku, Barry, Tadic

Loan signings: Rodwell, Deulofeu, Traore

Sold or left on a free: Hibbert, Gueye, Vellios, Junior, Duffy

# The priority of this summer is to sign Lukaku. I will add a CM (Rodwell on loan cos he won't cost much) and AM (Tadic, the modern days Manny) to the squad, we need more option in midfield. If there are enough cash, we can add Schmeichel to push Howard and add another CB, probably on a free too.
 
I'd rather we go in for quality rather than quantity transfer wise. Promote from within the youth ranks as much as possible.

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.

We can get both quantity and quality though if we have say £30m + loans. No need to choose, like FTY's post at the start of the thread.

You've released Hibbert you absolute [Poor language removed]!!

But seriously, that would do me, although not sure about Rodwell back on loan. Would be nice to see some of the younger players appear on the bench and get a few minutes here and there.
 

I'm hoping we can get a couple decent free transfer so we can save the war chest for marquee signings (Lukaku and Tadic please!). We have been linked with Jack Colback, Gareth Barry, and Marc Albrighton so far. They don't have to be world beaters if we are getting them on a free. We need squad depth for Europa now.

I don't particularly like Rodwell but we need more backup in CM. As the budget is tight, I hope Martinez will do the magic and turns him into a player that most people hope for. However, I expect him and Gibbo will get injuries one by one...hope not.
 
Need 2 or 3 with loans staying

If all loans finish, 3 or 4.

Quality of signing more important than quantity. I wud rather 1 top striker than 3 average strikers
 
We need some clever cheap/free signings and loans to allow us to spend bigger on one or two players.

Diame or Cork for £3.5m adds great depth to CM if we get Rodwell back on loan or Colback on a free.

Deulofeu and Traore back on loan would be handy, and one other loan to bulk up numbers (possibly Rodwell as mentioned before.

Grab a free signing or two e.g. Lescott, Colback.

That's 5 or 6 in without spending big at all.

Then 2 big money signings, a striker and an attacking mid, possibly Lukaku and Tadic but who knows.

7 players minimum needed.
