if Martinez gets the boot at Everton, there may be a chance of going in for Barry and who knows he may want to finish his career getting us back up. We certainly need someone like him pulling the strings.

Why so he can finally solve the penalty issue?

Oh what are penalties for......it seems such a long time

Striker wise, I wouldn't mind going for Callum Wilson, from Bournemouth, and/or Ulloa, from Leicester.
Think both would be gettable, too.

Wonder if we'll go back for the keeper we looked at in Jan?

Why would Callum Wilson a player who has just missed pretty much a full season in the PL leave Bournemouth? And why would Ulloa substitute a night possibly at the Camp Nou, Bernabeu or The Allianz for a night at the Sty, Oakwell or Portman Road?

Why not? These are the sort of players we need to go after.
They might like to be part of the big revival of a bigger club instead of playing second fiddle at a smaller, albeit Premier League, one.

We need to be looking at two types of player - those who have been there/done it in the Prem and are quality but want regular football and those excelling at smaller Championship clubs that want to step up to a bigger stage. I'd be looking at the likes of Crouch.

The Sun has got is interested in Gary O'Neil from Norwich.  Not quite sure how we can be interested in anyone when we haven't got a manager, but there you go.

Those types of player, yes sure. But those two specifically I cannot imagine wanting to leave their current clubs to play in the league below.

He's well past it. I also can't fathom how he's still in the Premier League. I don't think he'd even stand out much in the Championship any more. Saying that at least he'd work hard.
We do need better though.

Charlie Adam.

Would be one of my first targets and I would make him captain as well.  Above all, he can take good set pieces which is something we have been desperately lacking.

There's some really fanciful names popping up. Players like Adam, Wilson, Ulloa, Barry will all get offers from clubs in the premier league, should they wish to leave. We'll really struggle to get anybody who can get a squad place in the prem.

The players we need to go after are ones that are the best players in the championship. We need to get them before premier league clubs come sniffing. I.e, the delle alli types.

Will Hughes at Derby would be high on the list. Ross McCormack is one of the best strikers in the league. We need to throw our weight around next season in that league to build the best squad. Loan the best young fringe players from the prem and get promoted as quick as bloody possible

Ross Mac wouldn't come cheap though Glasses - I doubt we could afford him unless we get top dollar for the few assets we have

Yep!  Even though he's looked awful this year, he's proven at this level, as long as we are set up correctly for him.

A lot depends on personal circumstances as well.  Depends where players live and whether the move suits their circumstances.  Also not forgetting that managers have their 'own' players and might look to bring them in when appointed.
