Not in favour of multiple signings.

We need evolution, not revolution every year.

A first choice top class defensive mid and some stronger bench options replacing those departing.

So, multiple signings, then?

If Bamford became available from Leeds we should be 1st club in the queue to sign him, they can have Ings in part exchange.


Good idea, my car could do with a good wash.

3 in and 5 out would be my guess

1 center back
1 defensive mid
1 striker

Bert
Anwar
Trez
Ings or Watkins
Sanson

I think will depart. Maybe Kenan Davis too but that might be a loan to buy somewhere.

I would be very happy with that unless something magical comes up and we take them as well.

It'll be a lot more than 5 out but a lot of them are players that we've mentally already said goodbye to (Guilbert, Kalinic, Hourihane, Wesley, Steer). I'm not convinced Bert will go though, I think we might give him and bailey another chance, but you can replace him with Targett who I think will stay at Newcastle. By the reports today I think Davis might well be given a chance with us, which i'm happy with.

The reason I'm convinced one will go is that we desperately need a clinical finisher and neither of them are working out.
If we sign that finisher are both Watkins and ings going to be happy on the bench?

If one is to go I suggest we cash in on Watkins whose value will only decrease next season. Let him miss sitters for somebody else. Ings won't mind coming off the bench and is a far more clinical finisher and better suits our (so called) system.

Watkins is always Gerrards first choice though. Indicates to me it will be the other way round.

Personally, i’d like us to acquire Patrick Schick. He can play across the front line (including wide). Can hold the ball up. Has good link up play, decent in the air and is technically very good. Plus has a bit of magic.

Further back in midfield, Renato Sanches for his recovery pace, physicality and ball carrying.

My ticklist;

Centre forward: must convert more chances, lookimg for a good first touch and be mobile. Tough find.

Defensive midfielder: physically imposing, have height, good acceleration, good distribution even if its simple balls.

Centre half: concentration and distribution to meet the physical side absolutely key.

Not too bothered with sales, as we have a squad now we will always get money for. But that injection of quality above what we have into the first team, down the spine, is vital. The epidural summer to alleviate past pain is now.

Three players for me, incoming as a must.  Centre half, midfield enforcer and another midfielder with physicality and able to keep the ball.  Phillips and Bissouma types if you like.  I would also take Tarkowski. 

On another issue, Gerrard said something about bringing in someone he knows as captain.  Not sure who that is but I can see Milner coming back on a two year deal.
