For me we need 7 players, if we want to first all challenge for anything next season. And send out a bold statement, that Harry talks about.
First of all we need Centre back, too many times this season, our injuries with the centre backs haven’t helped, with them all being injured at some point this season for a period of time. It will help getting Caulker back from Swansea, but we need someone with experience, as we cant rely in my opinion on King and Gallas for another season. Vertonghen who has been linked would do very well at spurs, but it would seen whether we could fend off interest from other clubs for him, even with him admitting he would favor spurs. Other possible alternatives would be Montpeiller defender Yanga-M’Biwa.
Then we need cover for BAE and Walker, with both being established, we need someone who could cover, or be used effectively in rotation, as in my opinion Naughton and Rose arent good enough. Vrsaljko would be my choice for Walker, young RB who has huge potential, and wont cost a fortune. But for the left there isn’t many alternatives out there.
Centre midfield we are grand, with Huddlestone coming back we have enough options in their but we could be doing with a bit more creativity. Id like to have seen us signing Defour or Wistel last season, but with them joining Porto and Benfica its unlikely they would move again.
This season we seen the problems with playing without Lennon or Bale, and how badly that affected us. We need cover for these, my choices would be Belhanda, who can cover left or right but plays on the left for Montpellier. And for the right Junior Hoilett, who looks like a real talent and would be a free signing.
Finally we need to sort out the striking option, we currently only have one striker on the books, and id happily get rid of him. For me id look to get in three from De Jong, Giroud, Remy, Adebayor, Bas Dost, van wolfswinkel or a player we should try heaven and earth for soldado given Valencia Financial problems.
