I would love to sign Witsel.
Agree. I would take him over Dembele and Paulinho any day. We could seriously use some of his directness in the middle of the park. I don't know that there will be a clear-out, though.

I think if we were to sell Paulinho we would of made a profit taking in to account the money we made off his sponsorship deals

AVB goes to Zenit
We buy Witsel, and give Paulinho + Cash>
AVB has Paulinho and Hulk = half the dream.

In fairness, I do rate Paulinho, I just think he has been under-achieving and I could see him leaving. I do, though, think Witsel is a better player.

I probably the worst person to speak to in terms of our midfield options. I actually think that if we were to get LVG, we should go for Xavi

I would like a deep lying workhorse-type playmaker

Badelj would be one of my top targets

433 with Badelj next to Sandro, with Eriksen sitting above them

Then, purchase a proper LW and LB.

Good Shout but thing is where do we start. Next season I think this would definitely be my(the ones I want) certainty to stay:

Soldado
Adebayor
New Winger----------------Lamela
Townsend-----------------Youth/townsend
Eriksen---New CM
Carr or Bent---Youth
Sandro
Dembele
New LB--Vertonghen--CB--Walker
Rose--Chiriches--Caulker--Kaboul/youth
LLoris
Now I would go for 3 big signings

I would definitely sell
Lennon, Siggy, Dawson, Gomes and Livermore

Consider selling
Paulinho, Capoue or Chadli(would loan him)

di Marzio reckons AVB is going to be Zenit manager!

He'll look so sexy with bits of snow in his ginger beard. Might need a thicker coat though.

Interestingly Phillipe Auclair was saying on Football Weekly that it looks like Spaletti is actually staying at Zenit but moving into a position at board level. It's a bit of an odd move for someone who is still relatively young in managerial terms and has a good reputation, hope he's not having to stop for some reason.
