Squad by next season???

[Christiffa25]

Imo the next 2 transfer windows are crucial to how we will fair the next few years.
How would you like the squad to look by the start of next season??

Goalkeepers
Howard - Butland

Defenders:
Coleman - Hibbert - Neville - Jags - Lescott - Forren - Duffy - Baines - Oveido

Midfielders:
Mirallas - Donovan - Gibson - Valdis ofoe - Osman - Barkley - Fellaini - Holtby - Pienaar

Strikers:
Jelavic - Anichebe - Vellios - Naismith

Outs - Mucha, Distin, Heitinga, Hitz
In - Butland, Forren, Lescott, ofoe, Donovan, Holtby.

It's roughly 20M of in comings. I would think we have around 5M currently, selling heitinga could add to that and with the new sky money could we pull off those deals over jan/summer??

If we did how strong would that squad be?? Suppose a lot depends where we finish this year....

Thoughts??

Happy enough with most of that apart from the options up front.
I personally would like to see us bring in a striker ASAP and even two by the summer.
If you look at the top sides of this league (barring Chelski and Liverpool at present) they all have 3-4 good striking options up front.
We have 1 decent striker and some poor back up. Just like Howard in goal, I would like us to have competition for Jelavic to keep him on his toes.

If we are playing in europe next season it is crucial that we have atleast 3-5 new players.
Otherwise im afraid that we cant handle those extra games.

This window needs to be good too. I want to see 1 out & 2-3 inns

Howard
Hibbert Neville Duffy Oviedo
Gibson Osman
Coleman Anichebe Pienaar
Vellios

could depend on who the manager is come next season, if moyes dosnt sign up

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Far too early to decide really. So much rests on whether we get 4th spot, as group stage qualification is the only way we'll get cash organically to spend on new players.

If we don't get 4th spot then selling Fellaini is likely.

Close mate. I'd want another top striker in there maybe instead of one of the central midfielders. Think we lack genuine quality and experience upfront. We rely too much on Jelavic, so when he struggles, we can struggle. Naismith is decent, but a lightweight. Big Vic is decent but made of chocolate. Vellios looks a prospect but we can't depend on prospects to deliver when required.

Def need more wingers. I fear Mirallas (like big Vic) is made of chocolate too.

All that being said, we look in good nick squad wise. A few more additions could really help us push on.

 

[toffeejack]

keep distin ffs. need another striker no matter what european competition we are in

 

[Christiffa25]

Well I um'd and arr'd about another striker and in the end thought well given that squad both mirallas and Donovan can play striker too. So decided to save us 5M quid or so.

As a lot have said ideally another striker would be great to add to that lot.

If we do not have a net spend on players in the summer transfer window then it further underlines the point that this board have zero ambition and zero plan to take us further as a club.

Extra £20m or so coming in from TV rights leaves no excuse for us to operate at a negative transfer spend.

 

[Brownie]

I'd imagine by then we will have sold Fellaini and replaced him with Roberto Soldado and James Rodriguez.

i quess board should act like now...we need to get those euro places first...and then if we do they should provide moyes even more green than in this january window

 

[TheFinnFan]

Then again...money aint everything...squad still little bit thin

 

[ijjysmith]

We are not after Forren.
