Players who might improve us

Stick any defender in a Pochetino system and they look good, it more just highlights the importance of a good system rather than the individual players. Southampton managed to rinse about £150m off Liverpool, Arsenal and the rags for their defenders and replace them for about £20m. Get the system right and your defenders will look good, don't have a system at all and the defenders will look all over the place
This. That's why even players like Lescott, Richards and Clichy looked excellent under Mancini, whereas far more talented players like Otamendi, Mangala and Zabaleta struggle under Pellegrini.
 
offload 8 - Yaya, Demichelis, Kolarov, Zabaleta, Bony, Caballero, Nasri, Navas
bring in 8 - Pogba, Gundogan, Laporte/Stones, Gaya, Florenzi/Fabinho, Milik/Morata, MATS/Valdes, Veloso (free)
promote 2 - Denayer (CB/RB), Zuculini (CM)

these players will be out of contract and available for free in the summer.
hope we can sign one or two from this list.
Sofiane Feghouli, Eder Alvarez Balanta, Victor Valdes, Gregory van der Wiel, Miguel Veloso, Joel Matip

i really wish Pep scrap the idea to play with winger as main formation, since we only have Sterling and Navas.
sign another striker with Negredo/Tevez like attributes (Morata, Milik, etc), to partner with Aguero. take off his burden.
convert Sterling as striker to play with Nacho. new training regimes needed to improve his finishing, and his spirit.
in this formation, new attacking fullback with pace is essential.
perhaps we can sign player like Gaya, Florenzi, Fabinho, Telles, etc.
play 4-4-2 diamond, and build the team around KDB.
we don't have goal scoring winger, but we have KDB, and he needs to play central at ALL TIMES.
signing another mobile/pacey striker with intelligence will do the trick.
then we will have our own deadly trio, like other big clubs do.
