GK - pope or Henderson (both wouldn’t be cheap though)Going to have a serious amount of work to do in the summer:
- GK: is there anything in the rumours about Lloris to PSG? He's also 34 so needs a successor soon soon. Our back-up GK situation desperately needs improving too
- RB/LB: probably no change given the amount of other deals to be done
- CB: GHod knows how many we need. Probably 2? And find someone to take Sanchez off our hands.
- CM: Skipp returns which adds some depth but could do with a box-to-box CM too
- wide forwards/attackers: need more depth as there's a gulf in class/effectiveness between Son, Bergwign and their back-ups. Moura and Lamela are 29 this year so values falling very soon and probably need to be shipped out. Bale is an easy question based on output so far
- no 10 role: keep or sell Dele?
- CF: need to either sign Vinicius for an appropriate price or an alternative
There's a lot of business to be done...and the financial details of some will have knock-on implications for other positions given we dont have infinite cash available.
Plus the old HG chestnut will be tough as some of the incoming players really need to be HG, and we probably cant lose many/any HG players either (so Winks, Dele etc probably need to stay)
GK - pope or Henderson (both wouldn’t be cheap though)
CB - Tarkowski (1 year left in his contract)
RB - aaron’s if we can get Norwich to sell (that’s assuming Aurier wants out still, so that can change constantly)
CM - Oliver Skipp
CM - Milenko Savic
WF - lookman
WF - Bailey from Leverkusen
Striker - Ings (he will kick off to leave soon I think, like PEH did)
Ings is but he also is out of contract soon and wants to play EuropeFair old outlay if we picked up all those above!!! We're going to need to find a few PEH-type deals where value is way cheaper than the contribution which they'll make
Isnt Ings a SCBC fan? I doubt he'll leave if so
Lookman I like, and similarly Pope/Henderson
I know talk's cheap but hasn't Lloris been quite blunt in the past over ever playing for PSG?

Sounds good to me, he also loves poch like a father.... who in the GKing world is world class at the moment ? I'm not talking Pope who is a fantastic keeper, I'm talking game changing keeper like Schmeichel, Khan, Van der Saar, Allison Ederson etc ...

edit: the main saving grace is that most of the signings which we need to make are back-up players, rather than first 11 players

The BIG question is who gets that funding.
My preference is another manager
