This is not a thread for names, so none of that "I want Hazard" stuff.

Interesting in hearing your priorities for improving our squad.

Here's mine in order from greatest to least:
[1] Shipping out the deadwood or those that may not have a long future here.
[2] A versatile winger or forward who: (A) can cross accurately from the flanks and/or (B) take a player on, beat him, and cut the ball back into the box.
[3] A CM/DM who can pass the ball forward quickly and accurately over distances of 40 yards+. Preferably one with good vision that can put a player through on goal.
[4] A world class centre half.

That pretty much covers it for me too. But if I were greedy, I'd add a possession LB to the list.

Completely agree. Winger/CM are the big ones for me.
 
An out and out pacey winger, someone like Lavezzi.

A deep lying playmaker in the Xavi, Pirlo, Alonso mould, or at least a DM who can pass and retain the ball.

Cover for Kompany and Lescott. Someone like Samba or Hangeland would be perfect.

This summer has to be about fixing our weakness areas, no more accumulating shit we already have. If we need a striker, I'd rather see Guidetti brought back before spending a penny on anything other than these 3.
 
Ensure I can still afford my season ticket and then ask for 3 decent players who can play as wingers,centre half and a replacement for one of our strikers who will be on their way.
Sorry almost forgot !! A decent interviewer on our OS.
 
A World Class winger. Silva and Nasri are to a like and I'd want someone like Hazard or Lavezzi who'd run at defenders. Feel this is why we struggle to break teams down away from home, as we run out of ideas. And of course another CB would be useful.
 
Ball playing world class CB, deep lying creative centre mid, Sanchez type winger (right footed). If all deadwood is sold the net spend should be within budget. My choice would be Hummels, Martinez and Hazard/Lavezzi. If Tevez and Dzeko go then another striker, my preference would be Higuain.
 
We need to improve year on year now and that means improving the team and players dropping to the bench which improves the squad.

IMO
CB
Winger

is all that is currently required to improve the team.

We may also need better cover at RB (love Zab but not the level we should be aiming for now) and a LB if Koralov goes.

Gudetti coming back gives us greater options in attack and we also have the likes of Suarez, Rekik and Razak improving.

We will need the likes of
Ade
Tevez
Bridge
RSC
Weiss
Boyata
to all be moved on and can also see Kolo leaving.
