The problem is (and this is not just directed at you) is that many people name players but don't consider where they'd fit in the team. They're not just going to come in to pick up splinters. Look at Given and Adebayor (to a lesser extent) for gods sake!
Van de Wiel is a right back, he'd have half a chance of getting in our team, I reckon. The other two are both incredibly young (both 17/18 I think) but have tons of potential, exactly the kind of players we need for our squad imo. They have the abilitly to make an impact when needed but being so young would probably accept being part of a squad than first choice. Adebayor and RSC probably won't be coming back so a young strong striker like Lukaku would be ideal for the squad. Similarly Chamberlain to be a creative impact sub like AJ. I actually think our first team is more or less good enough especially if we added a right back and the additions of Balotelli and Dzeko who hae more or less not been part of it so far. The problem is (and this is not just directed at you) is that many people think every player we sign has to be a direct replacement for a first team regular and that we should overhaul the first team every year but I don't think that will work. Just my opinion mind.

Seriously Lukaku wants to start.
I'm sure Chamberlain doesn't want to sit next to Milner on the bench all the time either.
Well Chamberlain is supposedly prepared to go to Arsenal, do you think he will be first choice there? Will he f*ck! He'll spend a couple of years at least as an impact sub, like Walcott did. I don't reckon Lukaku will expect to go to a top club and start every week either, he's only 17 isn't he?
As long as Tevez stays then 4 In. Loads out.
17m Iker Muinain = pace, skill, invention.
14m? Cheikh Tiote = replacement for Vieira, to rotate into matches to give NDJ a break.
20m Gregory Van Der Wiel = Probable first choice RB starter, with Richards as rotation.
25m Neven Subotic = 1st choice Partner for Komps.
I can see first choice back four of : Zabs, Subotic, Komps, VDW.
With Kolarov mainly leftwing sharing it with Muinain and sometimes Balotelli, but Kolarov covers any injury to Zabs at LB. Then Kolo T and Boateng as CB rotation. Richards RB rotation (if he'll stay). Boyata spare CB in case of huge injury crisis?
Lescott & Bridge offski's.
