I'd be happy with Abaumegyang, Knoplyanka, Milner, Ings, Garbutt. 4 of these 5 on free's too. Obviously I agree we need to take into account signing fees, compensation and wages.
I also believe we need another CB and RB. Other than that, I'd be happy replacing the likes of Balotelli, Lambert, Borini, Enrique and possibly Sterling with the above players who I believe will all be realistic signings.
Instead of bringing in huge players for £30-40m, I'd prefer to give Markovic, Allen, Ibe a chance to prove themselves.
What's your thoughts we?

We all can see that allen is not good enough,markovic and ibe are young they deserve chances and have talent.
Allen lacks quality not a top team player

Did you spell the first two names wrong on purpose?

Kono looks like he'll be off to Spurs.

I would take all the players the OP mentioned except Ings. Sturridge, Aubameyang, Origi, Yesil and Sinclair give us enough options up front. A GK is also a must to be 1st choice and Migs as back up. A summer of Kono, Aubameyang, Garbutt, Milner and a GK would be very good and affordable for the club with the likes of Balo, lambert, Borini, aspas, alberto, Coates, paez, enrique and allen being sold to fund these purchases.

I'd definitely take that

Agree Allen isn't up to playing top 4 though. He's not physically imposing enough to play defensive midfield, but not creative/attacking enough to play as a box-to-box player or as an attacking mid. If it were up to me and we had the budget, I'd sell him and Lucas and bring in someone for the future like Illara or Kongdogbia to compete at defensive midfield with Can.

My original post was just to identify realistic and affordable options. I think these would improve the team and give us the opportunity to still give the young lads a chance. I agree a new GK to be signed to challenge Migs, but I think Migs has done enough back end of the season to justify his no1 place.
