========================
If we want that we'll bring back Carroll
And we don't need Muniain when Coutinho is here.

We only need few players and winning mentally to improve performance..

need a new cb that can play the highline

Ogbonna would be perfect for us

The reality is that we need about five quality players at least.

LB, CB, DM, RWF & Striker.

Could also do with a quality central midfielder.

Interesting interview with Stevie before the game last night. We're 7th.

This.

And we need to find a CF who will be happy to be on the bench. We need to find a young gem that can make an impact when called upon. Very difficult though.

This and this

Yesil and Coutinho!!!!

Yesil done himself a terrible injury hasn't he?

I did like the 60 mins from Coutinho though. Hoping he can be a big player for us.

yes

Yesil can finish and he's always where he should be

I really like the look of him.

Not sure who the CB to partner Agger could be although he would have to be quality. Also not sure about who we could get for LB. I would like Diame as a cheapish (£7m CM). Not sure about who can come in on the flank either but the player i want for the striking role is Benteke.

Imagine if we had a trio of Suarez, Sturridge, Benteke to choose from. They would have to be rotated obviously but i think it could work.

Left back cover

Centre half

Defensive midfield cover

Wide right forward

Sub striker

Very interested to see what business BR does in the summer. With the right signings we can be well in the top 4 race from the start next season, instead of playing catch up.

Howedes

You obviously need to know who will be going in the summer before you can gauge what needs to come in.

Going

Carra
Coates
Skrtel, maybe

So if we do lose the 3 CB we are going to need 2 atleast, I'd love Howedes and Obonna. Both young but very talented and experienced. We then (IMO) need a leftback to challenge Enrique, a DM to challenge Lucas and another mobile striker because we've all seen how much we miss Sturridge when he's out. I'd personally love us to go for Dzeko.

I pray that we don't have a rumoured £40m release clause in Suarez new contract otherwise our summer could be a bad one.

Out, I think will be the following;
Coates, carra, skrtel, assaidi, Carroll, borini

In, would like to see the following;
Stefan de vrij, amorebieta, Eric lamela and (depending on city's plans) dzeko.

Highly unlikely but think that would would be a great summer

The thing about GJ covering for Enrique is that we lose GJ on the right! I'm not a big one for playing people out of position!

I think the likes of Howedes and Ogbonna are unrealistic targets.

I don't think we will buy too many centre backs even if we do lose three. I think BR will be looking to use Kelly and Wisdom more.

Carra would have been on big wages, so to Skrtel if he leaves. This will free up some wages that could perhaps be used in the forward positions instead, as forwards cost more money.

If Reina leaves that is another big earner off the books.

I have no problem paying players big big money (and I don't think the owners do either), but they need to be earning it. Suarez, Johnson, Gerrard for example, clearly deserve the big bucks as they are amongst the best in their position in the country.

We can't afford to have people taking up high wages who are not warranting them in their performances, even if their performances are decent.

dzeko? no chance

What did he say Robin?

Why are Howedes and Ogbonna unrealistic? Was Suarez unrealistic before we signed him?
