After we beat Burnley and qualify for the CL without the prelim, we'll no doubt be looking to strengthen the squad - so what would you do if you had the power of Arry?

I wouldnt do a great deal of selling unless anyone wants to leave, I'd let O'Hara go as Sandro is coming in and be tempted to upgrade on BAE. Also a top quality replacement for Hutton - perhaps a cheeky bid for Glen Johnson?

I'd also do everything I could to get Gudjohnsen to stay.

Keep what we have. That shouldn't be an issue.

Otherwise, we need to adjust the front-line a bit. I think Crouchy, through no fault of his own, causes the poor passers of our team to lump it, so maybe a different CF, although I'd like to keep him as an option. But oddly, now that we have made 4th, I don't see the need to change the team much.

Realize that was the first game since Jol that Bale and Lennon both started.

I'd still like Altintop on a free

Not a lot has to be changed to be honest... too hard to think about it now, but if anything maybe a new striker, one that will allow us to play 4-3-2-1 if needed, like Dzeko.

BAE was magnificent tonight and i aint his biggest fan, we need a top drawer centre forward, I was pleased to see gudjohnson come but I don't think he's shown enough to stay

We need a quick attacking right back - GLEN JOHNSON, we need a quick winger who can play on the left and/or cover Lennon - ASHLEY YOUNG, Another quick wide player that can also play uprfront - CRAIG BELLAMY and an additional glamour signing ( an international class centre forward)

Richards, a quick right winger and a top quality number 9.

We have lennon and bentley though?

Other two I agree with though. We also need a neat new young player who gets everyone excited and stuff. Specific position or ability not needed.

Indeed, now that we are in CL, an average CM like O'Hara better hope we can sell him, because he's no longer good enough for our reserves, let alone a nice loan deal.

we dont need a right back. I think Kaboul has proved he is fully capable there and in fact is more suited to fullback than centrehalf

We def need a striker that can play alone up front to allow us to play a 5 in the middle.
I'd say a back up goalie, another right back and thats about it!

When we get sandro we will have cover in the middle.

We really aren't very far away from being a top side! We should focus just as much on not losing anybodythough!

We need to use the fact we are in the CL very wisely, this is chance to sign the next generation of spurs players, this the key for me. We need to find the next Lennon, Huddlestone, Bale, Modric, Kaboul, Assou-Ekotto, Dawson and Bentley. Alot of young players we have bought that have proved this season that our strategy of buying young up and coming talent will work but we need to give players time to grow. Huddlestone, Bentley, Bale & Dawson are players that have really grown with us and have stepped up to the plate this season when many thought they werent good enough and we should get rid.

We need to use the fact we are in the CL not to buy big 25m players who could be flops and mess up our wage structure, but to get the young talent that Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd usualy have first choice on, Sandro is a perfect example.
