So what do we need in the summer....

[Bluearmy]

RB, DM, CM and possibly 2 attackers/winger who can play a few positions across the front line.

I'd personally look at letting rico, Marmoush, gonzalez, Reijnders, Savinho go!! Along with Stones, Ake, Bernardo

Hot sun Whitby only 20 mins away :-)

 

[Blu1]

A lot in & a lot out sadly

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

To get rid of all the bluemoaners.

 

[awest]

Not much.

 

[Mcfcdonny]

Legs in midfield

 

[hertsblue]

A new fitness coach, a new set piece coach, 3 top class energetic midfielders as jury is out in Rodris fitness/injuries, a proper RW with goals and assists, and a 2nd striker to put pressure on Haaland.
Midfield is our biggest issue

Viana was told to be very shrewd. Now he has to show it. We didn't win the league since 2024 and time to win it back. slot could do it in his debut season so our next manager has to do it too. For that serious help needed in transfers to lift the first eleven instead of odd fitting players like Marmoush and Renijders etc.

 

[Lowtower]

Matchday thread has all the answers to this

A revamp of the midfield and additional quality upfront.

I think the defence is largely fine, we have some great options and that will be strengthened with the likes of Reis coming back.

Kovacic, Savinho, Marmoush, Nico and Reijnders all need replacing with guys of significantly higher quality, both from a technical and physical level.

 

[youngbob]

Not too much. 2nd in the league and a cup double. This team is getting to know each other. 4-5 additions, 4-5 outgoings, nothing extreme.

 

[blue_danube]

We need about half a dozen really good players.

I'd also love us to bring in a couple proven quality at a high level, players who have won things, rather than cherry picking too many players from mid table clubs


And if we are getting a new manager, then make it someone who is going to utilise the pace of the likes of Haaland and play more direct. The players we have brought in more recently aren't technically gifted enough to play Pep's way consistently well. They'd be more suited to Klopp's brand of football in all honesty.


I just think we need added quality and some common sense about what style of football this group of players will excel at.

 

[jamielowndes]

For some, a break from club football and some perspective.

 

[jrb]

A Holiday. :-)

 

[Blumooniac]

Fast, direct football. Quick transitions. Wingers crossing first time. Ball through the middle/over the top for Erling. Less tiki taka at the back. Robert's your mother's brother. Quadruple incoming. Thank you and goodnight. CTID.

 

[supercity88]

Elliott Anderson
Another CM
RB
Winger

Tbf this is something I've wanted for the last couple of years.

You don't have to sacrifice possession football but they should mix in some urgency. Go look at the 18/19 system and borrow from that.

 

[Manchester1894]

Anderson and Olise.

But the roof don't leak ;-)

 

[Gobshiight]

2 central midfielders and a massive upgrade on Savinho
