What do we need?

[nehe11]

I want to remind people that we are champions because it seems people forget that seeing they want 5-10 new players... Me personally I feel we need a new CB seeing Kolo & Savic are not good enough to be 3choice. We lost a few games when Vincent & Joleon where missing and we looked vulnerable, same with Yaya. If De Jong leaves which I hope, not because he´s a bad player but because he´s to one dimensional. I would like to see someone replace him. A winger or two would be great seeing it seems we run out of ideas during games when people park the bus, in Qpr case the titanic. In this case Bale would be a great option.It´s important to have players who can offer you another system. And would maybe help Dzeko as well?
Bottom line we need to strenghten a few areas, nothing more imo.
What do you reckon we need?

Reliable reserve centre back and a consistent out and out winger without an attitude to give us another dimension

I don't want a whole boatload of new players, just players who will fix our inadequacies.

We won the league sure, but Bayern flattened us at their place and we struggled in Naples too.


1. A deep lying playmaker. Most of the European powers have one. Other teams can overrun us with no fear of a clever deep pass.
2. Winger. Same reason as above. Teams pack it in or don't respect us when pressing high, and we can't punish either.
3. Backup CB to replace Savic.


The first two are absolutely essential or we will continue to struggle in Europe. The third will just cause us to crash out of more cups and drop more points.

3. Backup CB to replace Savic. Sakho? Or the young greek lad at Schalke

What a team that would be.

Im waiting to be made head scout atm

It's definitely an off-season of incredibly ambitious wish lists, especially given our recent success.

To answer your question, I'd like to sign Javi Martinez and close up shop. Cover at CB done, cover for Yaya done, happy with everywhere else.

 

[Bluesiam]

In my opinion Kolo is adequate CB cover. Savic is not.

Other than a dream signing like Lucas Moura first or Bale second, I'd go for a young winger, maybe Junior Hoilet and a young attacking midfielder in the Gaston Ramirez mould. We will need cover for Barry as he gets older and more injury prone and Yaya as he may have only one or two more years with us.
That's it for me.

Recall Guidetti if we lose one striker.
