In order of defenders I want is
VVD
Keane
Maguire
All three are better then our best defender
I saw an article linking us with Reid of West Ham? I would like a commanding centre half, someone who will boss the team, and a couple of goalscoring midfielders. Tell Ron, he's going nowhee next season and bring more of the U23 side through!
Davy Klassen. Times his runs into the box from midfield and is a very good finisher. Workhorse as well
Where would Tielemans fit in ?
Rotating with Davies ??
Take ROSS out of the team. ??
A smashing player but more urgent positions to be filled
Haha that would cause unspeakable meltdown among hammer fansI saw an article linking us with Reid of West Ham?

I'd like to see McCarthy kept on especially with Europa League but I think he's dirtied his bib! Klassen and Sigurdsson in to give the midfield something different.Koeman likes him, we've had him scouted.
Versatile as well.
If McCarthy is sold (which I think is likely), could see Klaasen coming in.
They're not exactly like for like, but with Schneiderlin, Gueye and Davies, you'd be looking at an excellent depth of central midfielders.
Barkley has to be played further up field on one of the wings in a 4-3-3, with the freedom to drift.

There's still Cleverley Niasse Mcgeady Kone McCarthy Lennon to get rid of on transfer. You could easily make a case for Valencia, Jagielka, Robles, as well. Lots of work to be done to replace large swathes of the squad even after the huge cull he did in the last window.
Was there not talk of a rumoured 20 m bid from NewcastleIt's a shame because he's played well when needed this season but he hasn't played 10 games!
And that's purely down to injuries.
Koeman definitely likes Macca but if a team offers 15mil or more, he'll be off I imagine.
Add Geri and a few under 23s to that and I reckon there is the guts of 80 million in outgoings.Cleverley is already gone. The deal is done for 8mil.
Niasse will be sold to Hull if they stay up. It was part of the deal. 10mil.
McGeady will stay at Preston. Probably on another loan or for a nominal fee.
Lennon will be moved on. Probs 3-4mil.
Kone will be shipped off asap.
McCarthy will go if we get a good offer and if we've got other midfield options lined up.
Valencia can't be sold - he's on loan. I doubt he'll be bought, but may stay if we get another loan deal sorted.
Jagielka is an iffy one. Think he'll stay with the Europa league factor, and Funes will be the one moved on if we bring 2 CBs in.
