Okay, i know the end of season is still a couple of months off, but now that Ramos has had a while to settle in i think that it is easy enough to see the positions that are weak spots in the team and where we will need to make some purchases over the summer.
I think personally that having 25 players in the squad makes sense, so that's two for every position with another 3 players added on.
Here's who i think we should keep and which positions we need to fill:
1st GK - Need to fill
2nd GK - Need to fill
1st RB - Hutton
2nd RB - Gunter
1st CB - Woodgate
2nd CB - Dawson
1st CB - Need to fill
2nd CB - King / Kaboul
1st LB - Bale
2nd LB - Need to fill
1st RM - Lennon
2nd RM - Need to fill
1st CM - Jenas
2nd CM - Boateng
1st CM - Need to fill
2nd CM - Huddlestone
1st LM - Malbranque
2nd LM - Gilberto
1st ST - Berbatov
2nd ST - Need to fill
1st ST - Keane
2nd ST - Bent
3 extras: Zokora, Taarabt, O'Hara
So to round up, i reckon we need to get in:
2 x GK
1 x 1st CB (if King can keep fit for a whole season then this is not needed)
1 x 2nd LB (possibly Ekotto or Lee if they can stay fit)
1 x 2nd RM
1 x 1st CM
1 x 2nd ST
Thoughts?
