4 Players

Onouha, Suarez, Assulin, Roman. That's where Arsenal's kids came from which gives them great depth. Use the much vaunted academy. Keep buying and the best young players wont join our academy as they know they will never play
 
A winger and midfielder will do me, anything else can wait. De Rossi and ANY high quality winger with some vision, quality, and pace would do me - there are wingers ranging in value from £7million to £30million who would be an upgrade from Johnson, depending on how much the club wants to spend. Even Weiss would be an upgrade from Johnson at this point, not being dramatic either as I watch Espanyol and he is more direct, makes defenders think, and offers more to the team.

Exactly.

He don't have to rely heavily on them, but when he is short of players he should give them a chance !

Roman or Suarez could be more useful than Kolarov, IMO.

I never want to see Nedum in a blue shirt again.

Suarez, Assulin and Roman aren't ready, I wouldn't mind us giving Guidetti the run as 4th striker next season but the problem you only get a couple of top class players at a time through your own academy and they aren't there or ready yet.

Yeah Xavi, Iniesta, Messi etc. but Xavi, Puyol, Iniesta were the last crop, they had a phase of not buying anything, Messi is a once in a generation player, and Fabregas and Pique went to England to develop a bit before going back, so we can't just say "call up 4/5 academy stars" because it doesn't work like that.

you forgot 2 strikers and 2 ful backs

2 strikers?!

I have faith in Serg, Mario and Dzeko, so we'd need one at a push.

2 full backs, I rate Zaba so one at a push, but I'd take the money for AK first.

I thought you was joking

no...

this isn't a go out and panic buy post, it's just what I think we need, and Mancini obviously thinks we need a couple of players as well, and he's right.
 
Just to remind those with shopping lists

You can only register 25 players for the prem league.

So if you want to buy you have to get rid first.
 
An old head last hurrah centre half signing, a viera in a different position, might be a good choice now. we need experience and leadership, and a relative assurance that the long term prospects of the youngsters won't be troubled. come on Brian..! oh and i still think the overall squad balance lacks pace, particularly in attack.

Academy stars? I'm saying use academy players who may become stars of the future if they get a chance. I am not expecting them to be stars. But I expect our 18 man 1st team squad to lose games in January so we might as well bring the club on by using kids when we can, and in so doing rest players for important games at Wigan and at home to Spurs
 
what hypocrites, I posted after the Sunderland game that we need to buy and suggested players. All the keyboard cowards went tits ballistic, now its ok went the cats not just out of the bag, but ripping up the curtains, fecherik nudniks!
 
Absolutely hate getting the cheque book out again but tonight showed we have a couple of areas to address. Hopefully we can get by till the summer.
