jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 16 May, 2016 Share Posted 16 May, 2016 Need a right back. Martini won't take us to next level. Cedric probably more potential to improve but he has a lot of naivety in his defending. Also a long term partner for VVD required. I like Gardos bit probably only back up. Fonte been great for us but age catching up on him a tad. Don't think Koeman will be overly happy with our defending of late although our attacking play has improved on flipside. Other than that a box to box goal scoring midfielder plus like for like replacements should anyone leave ie mane and wanyama Sent from my SM-A300FU using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeBenali Posted 16 May, 2016 Share Posted 16 May, 2016 Need a centre back to help cover the number of games we'll have next year / when we play three centre backs, who is better than Yoshida (I'd be happy to sell him)with the potential to replace Fonte. Bartra would be the ideal but may need assurances about being a starter. I can't think of anybody in England who fits that bill, so would likely be somebody from abroad. Other than that I feel we need another right back (ideally to replace Martina but more likely Cedric), a back up gk (Stek would be ideal), and then replacements for whoever leaves. Generally the squad size is ok, it's just a case of upgrading or replacing where required. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 16 May, 2016 Share Posted 16 May, 2016 Steve Cook anyone? Looked good when I've seen him, decent first Prem season, can score goals, and only just turned 25. Would he be enticed into a move down the road? Is he actually good enough? I was thinking as a long term replacement for Fonte/good back-up.

saintchris23 Posted 16 May, 2016 Share Posted 16 May, 2016 Benteke to replace Pelle Walcott to replace Manè Wijnaldum or Tiote to replace Wanyama Stek to replace Davis All have Prem experience and would be excellent signings. Add Oxlade Chamberlain to the mix to take the burden off Davis and we have a happy summer camp. Other signings to boost the squad would be great but as many have said already, the youngsters deserve their opportunities and the cups are the perfect time.

stu0x Posted 17 May, 2016 Share Posted 17 May, 2016 I'd love us to sign Bas Dost from Wolfsburg. Obvious Pelle replacement. Fits the profile of a big dynamic #9, right age, 'right' nationality - Koemans obvious preference for Dutchies is particularly relevant this year with no Euros this summer. Has performed in both Eredivise and Bundesliga so the physicality/adaption issue shouldnt be there. A year ago I'd say we would have no hope of getting him, but the new TV deal is a real game changer, we (and the PL as a whole) are now at a financial level where we can cherry pick players from virtually every team in Europe outside the 6-8 really big teams. Wolfsburg haven't qualified for Europe so we have that as an additional attraction. The Netherlands national team is going through significant overhaul at the moment and assuming Dost wants to lead the line for the new 'generation', he could do a lot worse than being in a PL/EL team managed by one of the greatest and most high profile players his country has ever produced, playing with other 'new gen' Dutch internationals. He's also only got a year left to run on his contract, so if we move quickly we'd get him for (relative) peanuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu0x Posted 17 May, 2016 Share Posted 17 May, 2016 Not sure we can pluck players from Wolfsburg, but if we were going for anyone from there I'd take Draxler, Schurrle, Rodriguez or Gustavo before Dost. Apples and oranges. Draxler has 4 years to run on his contract and is a winger. Rodriguez has 3 and is a left back. Both fantastic players but would cost a premium that probably puts them out of our reach. Left back particularly is a position that we are unlikely to spend a huge amount on as we have Bertrand there. Luis Gustavo is a great player also, but at 28 is probably not the long-term replacement for Victor we'd be looking for if we wanted to spend the sort of money it would cost to get him. Schurrle has 4 years to run, and would be unlikely to return to the PL to a smaller club than the one he left. He's also arguably more of a winger than a centre forward. Dost would be a like for like replacement/upgrade for a 30 year old Pelle. He has the right combination of age, experience, and contractual situation that would make him an achievable and realistic long term target that the others you names aren't.

charliemiller Posted 17 May, 2016 Share Posted 17 May, 2016 I think Sisto is on the clubs radar to replace mane , Ox can play central so could take some of the strain from Davis ....personally dont like townsend not a team player .

And for that money we could find 2 or 3 Black Box players for that. Tiote is a replica of Wanyama and for all of his disciplinary worries, he was banned less than Wanyama this season. Walcott has been excluded from the England side and has hardly played this season, maybe he'd be willing to take a pay cut? Regarding any player suggestions on this thread, it's about Who Could Do A Job For Us, so why not add players that could and should be on our radar - we have the biggest war chest in our history to spend!

SaintSteve Posted 17 May, 2016 Share Posted 17 May, 2016 Walcott needs to stop being satisfied being in and out the arsenal side, it's no good for him. He can be a terrific player, he's done well but not near his potential. He'd be in and out at City, Utd, maybe even Liverpool. If he came back here he'd play every week and I bet he'd start to show everyone what he can do. Either to replace Mane or move one of them central or left. Amazing options to have and it'd be fantastic 10 years after he left us in the championship. Except Mane is twice the player Walcott is..Walcott has no football brain, just pace.. He'd be a squad player here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwertyell Posted 18 May, 2016 Share Posted 18 May, 2016 Except Mane is twice the player Walcott is..Walcott has no football brain, just pace.. He'd be a squad player here. I think that's a bit of tired cliche - Walcott has enough goals and assists over his career to suggest he has some idea of what he's doing. What he lacks, in my opinion, is personality. He's wishy washy, risk averse, ducks out of challenges, is happy drifting through games on the periphery, never forcing the issue by trying to take the match by the scruff of the neck. He talks about wanting to play through the middle and be the main man, but is too prone to disappearing acts to ever suit the role. If he had Shane Long's heart (or Long had his pace and finishing), he'd be a hell of a player. But he hasn't, and his career will remain a bit of a damp (and wildly overpaid) squib.
