Anthony Stokes is absolutely terrible.

Worth looking at Patrick Bamford again? His career seems to have stalled somewhat.

He should be a serious target.

Can score 20 goals down there with his eyes closed.

Yep and although he might not be a Premier League quality (not really been given a run of games to prove that yet) a season like that in the Championship would mean he would retain his value if things didn't work out the following season.

With some careful planning I reckon 5 permanent players supplemented with a couple of loans could sort us out.

agreed but Okore has got legs of glass

How do you work that out?
1 ACL injury.
1 Op to clear up scar tissue from the ACL repair, made more complicated by playing when he shouldn't have after we'd run out of fit centre backs.
1 niggle last season.

it was figurative - but he is fragile and 38 appearances in three years confirms that.

Not convinced by Bamford.
Would C Adam be really motivated, as he moves into the end-phase of his career?
C Clark - if he has a good Euros, he'll be on his way, whether you like him or not. My view is that he's worth sticking with, as long as we find the right partner for him.

If it's Moyes someone like Osman cheaply to show the others what hard work means would be likely i reckon.  Distin on a free at the back might be worth doing too. Howe said he was amazed at how fit he was for his age.

Keeper, leader at back, 2 midfielders and some pace up front are musts.

We need some proper leaders. I don't know how serious Stan is, but I'd get Barry back. A proper captain and despite all that went on still loves the club.

Will Grigg needs to come home, he's Villa and we can steal that chant. Haven't got a clue if he's any good.

He's just been named as Everton's player of the year - it's not likely they would let him leave and if they did, I would be amazed if other Premier League clubs didn't show an interest.

I get what you're saying, but I can't help thinking we might've moved the goalposts a bit now. What have we got to lose? SGT did it with Sid.....

Much depends on their next manager and whether they want to refresh the midfield. If we really do have the financial clout Tony is promising, and Gareth Barry does become surplus there, I reckon we could tempt him back.

Complete waster, would fit in well with Gabby and the likes for his "commitment" to his profession
