Personally, i think we need a few more players, like most fans.
Now, i won't go into sales, these are just buys.
With us having such a tightish budget, would it be possible to get these in:
Firstly a defender: Whilst i think Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique picks it's self, i don't see a lot beyond it. In fact i think we are in trouble if two of those four are un-available.
Now, the player i would like to see us get is Newcastle's James Perch, he's in the last year of his contract, he's quick and can play right back, center back and center midfield. I think £5m or so would be an excellent bit of business for the pace and depth he would add to the defensive cover.
Midfield: Sahin, almost takes care of it's self this, it's a no brainer for a loan deal.
Forwards: Dempsey and Adam Johnson. Now, if we could get both, it would give us a great mixture of abilities, something we lack in the final third, It would probably take £15-£18m to get both in, but i think they are worth it, they would add goals and creativity and add depth to this department.
Buys: Perch, Sahin, Johnson, Dempsey.
Match day squad: Reina, Jones. Johsnon, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique, Perch. Lucas, Allen, Sahin, Gerrard. Johnson, Dempsey, Suarez, Borini, Assadi, Sterling, Downing.
Viable options...

Just wanted to get some views on him, he played very well for the Castle last season and looked tidy enough at both CB, RB and CM. I saw him probably play 8-9 games, including against us and he was solid.
By the sounds of it, he was in a hot vein of form

I just seen on ssn that Reo-Coker hasn't got a club. I would have him as cover for Lucas, he's actually an alrite player.... better than Spearing anyway.

We should have gone for Ally Cissokho from Lyon who has just agreed to move to Valencia for a bargain 6m Euro's.

I like having Robinson as cover. We constantly moan that we don't give youngsters a chance and here we're wasting the perfect chance to give one a chance. He has more potential than most of the youngsters.
Perch? Please no, please no more average British players.

Cissokho flopped at Lyon really, Valenica playing too much Football Manager.

Yep can't disagree that Reo-Coker would be a decent cheap back up holding player.
Bolton's player of the year last season, lots of experience. Good job Bellamy has gone though
We won't sign him though, he will probably end up at QPR along with every other old player in the world.

Did he flop? Fergie was looking at him too but went for the Dutch guy cos Cissokho didnt want to play 2nd fiddle to Evra.

I never liked him when I saw him and in always seeing Lyon fans complaining about him. Consider he signed for double the price, that's a flop in my eyes.
