Still think we'd need a new first choice centre back alongside Tarkowski , bed Branthwaite in gradually.

Just think the money needs to go elsewhere. Branthwaite won't come back here for gradual minutes after a whole season starting for PSV.

Yeh , can see your thinking, depends on how many we can offload.

File him under Schneiderlin for me, he’ll go for a nominal fee or a completely free.
Lille loved him, and I reckon he’d sign permanently, I guess the question is, is money the priority, or playing and enjoying yourself?
I can see them getting something against Spurs, but that's about it (imo)
I can see us getting a point from City, and a win at home against Bournemouth

In terms of starters I think a CB and LB are a priority but due to DCL fitness ST and LB are the priorities. CB and RW next and then a CM for me.
I have a bad feeling goalkeeper will be a priority this summer
I think Johnson will go higher but if Forest go I could see us returning for MGW having been close last summer. Fits the sort of versatile creative player we’re still lacking. Wouldn’t be cheap but I wonder if money comes in for Onana whether the more advanced / creative player is more what we need rather than a more defensive direct replacement.
Creativity and scoring threat a must, however that looks, two full backs, wide forwards, a central playmaker and a forward. Obviously we wont be signing 6 players at the required level of quality needed. So a plan is required - bit of a strange concept for us but you never know. We need to balance the squad also, we are heavy in some areas and light in others. Contract decisions need to be made, Gray, Iwobi, Seamus, The Duke. The inevitable eternal trying to shift Gomes, Gbamin and Dele.
A job of work still needs to be done to stay in this league first though.

This, far too often this season we haven't be able to create enough, full backs haven't got enough assists, no one can take a free kick either.
The Moise Kean funds arrive at the end of June, Romano confirmed. So, assuming we stay up- hopefully we can use some of that
Would like us to look around south america/rest of europe for better value, Brighton constantly go and find gems, low risk, low fees. Can we try that for a change?!
If we stay up then with the contract renewed it’ll take big, big money to sell JP this summer. He’s been immense for two seasons now, and the crazy bugger seems to quite enjoy being a blue so I doubt he’ll push for anything.

If we stay up and he goes it’ll be for serious money. I can live with that.
Using the money wisely and getting the right replacement (6ft 5 with mr tickle arms and the agility of a cat that can hit the opposition crossbar from the edge of his own box) in plus one of a lb/cm/am/rw is the bit that concerns me.
Good post mate, not going down the 12th of July or Easter 16 rabbit hole here, but being creative - you could sign someone like Kyogo, who forgives a lot of sins across the front three positions for around or south of 15 mill. I like the look of Summerville at Leeds too, has potential that lid.
If we stay up of course.
Yeah, I just look at the likes of that Mitoma and Caicedo, plucked from nowhere, both will likely leave for huge sums. Start being that club who finds these types.
Moyes was good at spotting talent in the football league and europe for low fees, we need to go back to that
