The way I see it is;
No matter which CM we sign this summer Bentaleb is most likely to be our best performer in this position next year. Therefore it is VITAL he signs his new contract ASAP! That being said I think he will!!
Regardless of the above situation, we need a new CM with the ability to be put under pressure and still find a forward pass. Also this player must be able to read the game defensively (much more important than the ability to make last ditch crunching tackles). This is why Morgan S, Kramer have to be front runners for this role (although both will be very hard to purchase!
Then we need forward players willing to press from the front AND make runs in behind their defence when we have the ball (rather than always wanting it to feet). This is Martial
Lastly, we need a more reliable back 4 in terms of personnel and consistency of performance. With walkers injuries it is important we sign an out and out RB. This is going to be Trippier. He also adds much needed crosses which will allow our front players to get into the box rather than one of them having to be the one to put the ball into the box!
After this if there is opportunities to sign Other young talents then great.
Oh and we have a lot of selling to do also!
