For next season...

First off, i think it's quite clear we need a few extra bodies, but more importantly, quality one's.

Here's what i think: we need 6 players, from the next two windows, to take our current squad to a position where it can develop and challenge over the next couple of seasons.

GK: Reina, Jones, Gulacsi.
RB: Johnson, Wisdom.
CB: Skrtel, Agger, Kelly, Coates.
LB: Robinson.

CDM: Lucas, Allen.
CM: Gerrard, Sahin, Shelvey.
CAM: Suso.

RW: Suarez.
ST: Borini.
LW: Sterling.

I think the areas that need to be looked at are:

A quality, pacey, center back.
A first choice left back.
A center attacking midfielder who can add goals.
Two pacey tricky forwards.
A first choice goal scoring striker.

Although many feel we need a CDM, i feel that Lucas (when fit) is obviously first choice, but also that Allen and Gerrard (especially in his twilight years) are both more than capable of playing there.

I have left certain players out, as will have been noted: Carragher, Enrique, Henderson, Cole, Downing, Carroll.

I think these are the lads we will not miss in a playing capacity and can get us some funds to further strengthen the positions highlighted.

Beyond this group (plus potential signings) includes the likes of Sama, Adorjan, Jerome and Yesil who are also highly rated.

Obviously it's not cheap to sign 6 players (as well as signing Sahin) but over two windows and with players getting sold, it's possible.

I seriously believe we are not far way in our first eleven from anyone in the prem, we are a Striker and a left back short in that regard.

But aside from that, it's the extra quality within the squad that can take us that step further.

Just my views...
