afar Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 My preference would be an Reina type GK with a ton of experience and a lot of quality, a true number 10 and a striker that can put away the chances we've been creating on a regular basis. In an ideal world, I would like an upgrade for Ritchie too and and defensive midfielder who can complement one of Merino or Shelvey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleBingo Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I'd possibly even just splurge the full £6m war chest on a striker tbh. Crazy talk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Striker, keeper, CM for me. If the striker is good enough I'd be happy to let Perez stay at #10 and get Shelvey/Diame out of the team asap. We desperately need some control and athleticism in midfield.

Guest firetotheworks Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Striker, 10, 'keeper, left back, another striker imo. Anything beyond that and you may as well replace all of them, which I'm not against. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 A keeper and left-back transforms the way we play out from the back ten fold. Probably does, I’m not sure that’s our main problem though. Anyway, a couple of players with genuine experience and a bit of leadership would make all the difference. Regardless of position. I think other than a striker that can actually score goals this is true. The right type of player/character in any other position would make a ton of difference. Could make arguments for AM, winger, CM, LB, and GK. Even CB given the fact an injury to Lascelles could be a death sentence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altamullan Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Given Ayoze’s recent form, I wouldn’t be too distraught to park the no.10 we’ve all been after since last Jan until the summer splurge (ha!) and focus on a goal scorer who can also hold the ball up. Chuck in a new central mid and a top keeper (perhaps at the end of his career) and job’s a barely adequate one. If we can shift Mitro or Gayle for decent money and perhaps Shelvey (if he’s not part of Rafa’s future team) then we could potentially buy a couple of replacements/improvements (hopefully) for decent money. Bas Dost has 19 in 18 league games for Sporting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Not satisfied with a window that brought in £30m profit and the Championship title. What a parasite on this club that man is. TBF, a lot of our fans share the same view. Profit from the sale of players he didn't even bring in himself, that didn't want to stay. Brought in players that should have been able to perform in both leagues yet turned out not to be fit for the championship even, and players good enough to take us up, but not to keep us up. For all the good Benitez does, he really is hit and miss on transfers. That being said, it should for fucks sake not be an argument for not getting new players in like it is being implied by Douglas.
