Just reading Dans comments on the other thread that the priority is a striker.
I sort of agree, however service is an issue we had last year and N'Zogbia, who we're laughably missing out on, would have gone a way to sort that - especially given that there's absolutely no other winger in world football comparable to him who we could have got at that price.
So we have to settle for the fact we're not signing a winger for certain this summer, and probably nobody at all.
But if we did, it would be a striker.
Saying that, here's my problem. I'm racking my brains trying to figure out who the hell we could bring in that would improve the side and who we could reasonable afford AND would want to join the club.
I've just booted up FM11 to use as a database just to see if I can spot someone who fits the criteria and, Bendtner and Sturridge aside, there's absolutely nobody I can pick out who I could reasonably foresee joining us.
Is it a case of because the quality the squad has, without money there's absolutely no point signing anyone because they'd swallow up wages and sit on the bench at best? Or do you have any ideas as to who could come in.
Because it's all well and good criticising the board (and rightly so IMO) but to be fair to them it's not like the market is flooded with affordable, quality players.
