Of the sides going down...

I would like Fer from Norwich to add a bit more in the middle of the park. Looked good most times I have seen him.

Beyond that Redmond is worth a punt.

Cardiff are a shambles and Caulker is a good player but lost his way badly at times this season. 6-7 million yes, more no. I think United or Arsenal might go in for him and have him as a squad player anyway.

Fulham have got an interesting winger I can't spell. And Holtby who no one seems sure on how to use properly.


I want a winger, 2 central midfielders (holding and creative) a defender and a striker in all this summer, but would settle for 3 players who would be first names on the team sheet in those positions.

SIGN SOME GODDAMN MIDFIELDERS

Sorry for the caps but this obvious problem has eluded the club for several windows now.

We need quite a few players. In priority order I think:

A centre forward with pace and goal scoring threat
Two creative midfielders who can ideally either play number 10 or wide
Two new full backs.
A centre back (ideally perhaps kill 2 birds with one stone and get someone who can play right back or CB)
A central midfielder with physical presence

We've no idea what money we'll have so it's a bit difficult to know who we can get.

Problem with Holtby is that as a Spurs player he'll cost at least twice as much as he's worth & we'll offer half what he's worth .

He would be the first player I'd be looking at this summer.

Get a leader in. We lack voices, personality, prescence. A winner.

Matt, we already have your first priority:
Step forward Jordan Bowery.

See I think Lowton is a good player that lost his confidence. If we could get Bertrand cheaply enough too then we are set there. Clark in front of the back 4 is fine as a backup option too and should have been used more though with Vlaar and Baker being prone to injury I suspect playing all 3 scares Lambert so a centre half of experience and quality is must.

First though I want Fer. Everything we lack in there. I think Norwich have some decent players and Hughton did a poor job actually.

We need wholesale change. That squad is nowhere near Prem standard. New owner, new manager, fire sale please.

Lowton may yet come good.


Clark and Baker are  Championship pkayers. Step forward Wolves

Out of the relegated clubs assuming Norwich go.

Caulker and Medel from Cardiff
Dejagah from Fulham
Redmond from Norwich

Those would be the only ones I would really be interested in.

He was okay. Nothing more than that.
