Interesting insight, lending weight to the idea eg with Fred, to buy now, and him come here in the summer. Im guessing the 3 or 4 in will replace leavers in those positions - Toure for example. Who are 2 or 3 others likely to go or whose contract is up?
I presume the four positions are likely to be left back, centre half, centre mid and forward ( preferably one who can play anywhere across the front three).
