Assuming we stay up and keep our current squad, how should our priorities in the transfer marked be this summer?
For me:
1. Solid centre back
2. Versatile attacking midfielder
3. Back up right back
4. Back up left back
5. Striker prodigy
Our norwegians, listed from the best signing, to the worst. (Forren's last, as he hasn't played a game. Expect him to improve though.)
Lundekvam
Østenstad
Tessem
Soltveidt
Johansen
Forren
It's difficult to value players. The value someone is willing to pay, and the value we are willing to sell for are two different matters in many cases.
According to Sky Sports, Skrtel had a better performance than all of our central defenders: http://www1.skysports.com/football/live/match/261855/ratings
Our inability to defend leads is probably one of the main reasons for why we are struggling against relegation this season. Not saying Adkins is to blame for that, but 27 points lost from leading position is no coincidence.
