What I'm dreaming of is something reminiscent of the summer of 1995.  When we signed Southgate, Taylor, Wright, Savo, Draper.  5 players who walked into the team and improved it.

it's all about 2 strikers - how we've stayed up this season with a dog shit forward line is beyond me.


Ironic that we scored more than Bournemouth and Watford really then? We have had a shocking defence.

Lack of good defensive midfielder was a big problem. Drinkwater was a joke in the games he had and Nakamba is very average and should not be a starter next season if we want to do anything.

Think it would be a waste playing Doug there aswell, he can offer more going forward.

Taylor and Wright were bought the previous season.

They were indeed.  Wasn't Taylor a swap deal with Sheffield Wednesday?

Grealish goes. Bring in 4 proper PL players and we will kick on next season. No wholesale changes for me - let’s just build on what we have, achieve mid table comfort next year, and then we are set up for bigger and better things.

Guy Whittingham and a million quid, iirc it meant Weds made no profit on him as Whittingham was the profit so they didn't have to pay Vale a sell on fee.

The most important move has to be hanging on to Drinkwater, whatever the cost.

Taylor scored so many important goals. I was watching highlights of our runs in the uefa and he was always there chipping in

I think we need to make a statement signing early on, Tammy Abraham come on home (next week will do!)

Left back, midfield, out wide, striker all urgently required. Likes of Taylor, Lansbury, Jota, Nyland, even Elmo are likely to leave. I suspect Engels has long since played his last game for us. Nakamba, Samatta, Trez, AEG it's hard to know.

I sincerely hope McGinn signs up with whatever regime Luiz was on during the lockdown. There is a lot more in McGinn.

Pace into the side please. Obvious we need quality, but pace has to be part of it.

Retire the shirt and kill it with fire.
