if it takes spending our whole transfer fund on 2 quality strikers, DO IT.

Get them bedded into the squad early.

Give rose a chance.
Townsend back up winger
A fit Sandro and Kaboul

I'd take that now going into next season.

Yes we need a quality striker who can score 20+ goals but I believe a creative midfielder is equally important. Our biggest problem this season was a huge lack of creativity.

I would take one striker, a playmaker cm, and a winger. That's if everyone of note stays. 2 strikers would be nice, but I would fill those other two positions before the second striker

Bale is striker no 1. We need a poacher or target man to play with him. Defoe and Ade fine as back up.

If Bale is to play forward, we need a winger. Townsend isnt good enough to be a starter. He's looked okay playing for QPR.

I think we need just the one striker and one attacking mid.

Make that two strikers if one of Defoe/Adebayor leaves.

When we go for the cheap option we end up with the likes of sigudsson,holtby,dempsey etc.

A world class strikeforce can transform any team. People forget that most world class strikers are also creative.

Central midfield deficiencies can be covered up with sandro and dembele in there.

Fair enough.

My point is that 2 quality £20 million signings should be made. Whether it be 2 strikers or 1 midfield and a striker.

I'm sick of the squad being filled up with dross.

Where's all this money coming from?

We need Quality not quantity.

It's what we need, not necessarily what we will get. We needed a striker this season and what did we get?

Depends how much Mr Levy is willing to invest coupled with the inevitable sales of some of the fringe players. That will determine a lot of things for our focus next season.

If we had got Champions League striker options: Villa, Dzeko, Higuain, Soldado, Jovetic

Now that we have Europa League striker options: Negredo, Gomis, Osvaldo, Leandro, Aubameyang, Son

Or take a risk on someone completely unknown

We also need a player who can provide much more like-for-like cover of Sandro, especially given his long layoff.

We couldn't afford leandro last season.

If we want to buy him now we have to stop wasting money on squad players. Target 2 quality players and use all transfer funds on them.
