Enjoyed reading this - very well thought out piece. I think we will need an AM/10 role player as well since Mane covered that option when required; I suppose Tadic can fit in there but a "Payet" type as well as a "Wanyama" type would be ideal. Quite agree with your assessment of Wanyama being under-appreciated by many.

Good article as usual, Chris. Tricky to know exactly how many players we need.

 

I reckon we will need 6 players. 3 to replace the outgoings of Vic / Mane / Pelle.

 

1 goalie to offset Kelvin/Stek departures & I think a couple to replace Gaston/Juanmi.

That's accurate I'd say. Though Redmond is already in to replace Juanmi or Gaston. I wonder if the coaching team deem Gazzaniga as ready yet? Hope not. Fortunately, unless someone comes in with a stupid bid for Fraser, VVD or Bertrand, defence is our strongest position at present.

Everton might come knocking for Virgil when they sell Stones.

 

It's Berty that I'm most worried about. Liverpool can't seem to get the Chilwell deal over the line from Leicester as they won't pay the £10m. It's Liverpool logic that they will then come in and pay £20m for Bertrand. Liverpool likely to make BIG money from sales of players they don't want.

 

The sooner they sign a left back, the better.

"Black is a well respected coach." From what I hear that seems a bit debatable.

 

I think that is accurate, I perhaps should have added that he is has a terrible record as a 'manager' though.

 

Much like Sammy Lee, Brian Kidd etc. he seems to be one who should stick to coaching, although I think Coventry fans thought he was an OK boss too.

The people who have decided they are experts on Eric Black and how useless and terrible he is and he single handedly relegated Villa etc would probably wet their knickers with joy if Jason Dodd was reappointed.
