I'm not the type of fan who demands constant 70 mil+ players. I am not someone demanding a new cb five minutes after we have bought the most expensive cb in the world but of course we need to keep up with city and I know we need to keep bringing talent to the squad.

So I think, in the Summer we need someone who can offer a decent alternative to mane, salah and Firmino. They cannot play every game and although we've been quite lucky with injuries this year, next season could be different. So I reckon lemar could play both on the wing and in midfield. I also think we could do with another new cm. Players like milner and lallana, who I rate them both, especially ads, they aren't getting any younger and I think we need to ship out Clyne and bring in a rb.

So
Rb, cm, am / winger and maybe a forward.

Vraaljko, Jorginho and Lemar. And everyone's happy.

Lemar is going to come here to sit on the bench.
Yeah, right.
Any more fantasies?

Ox and Lallana are good back ups for the wide positions.

Maybe Lallana, the Ox, TAA or a youngster could do a job covering in the front 3? Or Lamar if we do get him?
Or you could go to 2 or even 1 up top and adjust the shape to fit?
I don’t see it being a major issue that needs addressing unless someone has a major injury before now and September, we should look to strengthen in other areas first and foremost.

At the minute we have great players at the club and we are looking like we are going to finish only second to Man city in the league and have a good run at the champions league this season.

I think this summer transfer window will be our most important in years, if we recruit well and bring in big players that can have an immediate impact along with what we have now we can have our first run at the title under Klopp.

You can guarantee the rest of the top 4 will be spending big after the World Cup and if we want to compete with them we need to give ourselves every chance and bring in the best players.

What about wilson, woodburn, ejaria, ojo and taiwo? surely at some point they have to be in team plans. We cannot just keep on wasting bright academy prospects (Suso comes to mind) . Also if really needed for backup i would like to go for a player like sessengnon, he is young and would not cost a bomb (or may be he will? ) but pretty sure the lad would want first team chances and won't come to us.
Any other additions apart from a GK (to replace Migs) and CB (to replace Matip) are not required unless someone is supposed to leave.

if we manage to move on ings, studger, migs, clyne, matip, markovic and may be lallana for some money i think we can choose to get a top top player someone to really improve the first sqaud (oblak, allison kinds)

I still think Lallana is needed bro. he can help in games like against united and Newcastle. with his cryff turn and all. ed01 opinion?

{Ed001's Note - if he wants to stay then yes, but he doesn't want to be a back up, which is what he is right now.}

I think we should only be replacing outgoing players as the squad is plenty big enough. Players like Gini, Milner, Lallana are all not going to be first choice next season so who are we going to get that is happy to sit on the bench? I am not sure how it will work changing 5 midfielders in one transfer window.

Hendo and Ox might be the only midfielders to be kept, it has the makings of a very interesting summer.

Lallana just needs to get his head down and win bac his place in the team Ed.

Ox has won his spot and so has Milner even in recent weeks.

Lallana is talented. This will be a test of his mental resolve as in the past he has been accused of being weak mentally.

{Ed001's Note - personally I really don't care, I would not be upset if he left.}

I know Karius is playing very well right now but I can't turn down Alisson. He is my number one choice for incoming this summer purely because the man is a monster.

A creative DM and a front three replacement/ compliment will also do nicely.

Front three number one choice is Fekir. Think he offers a little bit of everything. He could even play the Firmino role in some games should he get injured or something. Hopefully that won't be needed.

Creative DM I'm unsure about. I look a Jorginho and while he is a superb passer I'm not sure he offers the physicality or defensivness I would want in my DM. Xabi Alonso defensive skills were always underplayed in my opinion. It was part of what made him so great in addition to his outstanding passing. God he was great. However I also want the outstanding passing that Jorginho possesses. So to sum up a bigger, stronger, better defensive Jorginho. Any suggestions?

In Ed002's words "players are transient employees", with which i fully agree. They belong on the field as long as they have more to contribute to winning than the player behind them, stay fit and want to play for this team. The same should apply to the prospects. If they're good enough to take a starter's place then so be it. We know we have a manager who has no qualms in starting 17 year-old prospects in games. But until they are, I think it's a foolish mistake to hold off from buying ready talent which can make a positive impact today in the hope of prospects perhaps helping us win in future years. Why not pursue both pathways? And if the prospect developed is not good enough then you sell them off (as in Jordon Ibe for 15Mil) .

players are transient employees is true of clubs who never win anything, that's why Barcelona pay messi 2 million € a week! that's why Hazard has stayed at Chelsea 3-4 years more than he personally wanted, that's why no top Man City player will be running to join Barcelona or Real Madrid anytime soon!

Ederson/ Bravo-Karius/ Mignolet
Walker/ Danilo-Clyne/ A. Arnold
Otamendi/ Laporte-Matip/ Gomez
Kompany/ Stones-VanDijk/ Lovren/ Klavan
Mendy-Robertson/ Moreno
Fernandinho/ Toure-Henderson/ (Can)
KDB/ Delph-Ox/ Lallana/ Grujic/ (Keita)
Silva/ Gundogan-Milner/ Wijnaldum
Sterling/ B. Silva-Salah
Sane-Mane/ Woodburn
Aguero/ G. Jesus-Firmino/ Ings/ Solanke

As you can see we need to replace Mignolet if he leaves with an older and experienced keeper (Navas) or/ and replace Karius with a better keeper if he don't impress like Oblak, Alisson. If 2 CB leaves then we can buy a new CB and if Clyne leaves we can get a new RB same with LB if Moreno leaves. In Middlefield we need to add 1 CM (Jorginho, Zielinkski, Ceballos, Asensio, Lemar, Milinkovic-Savic) but someone has to leave maybe Milner or Lallana and we need a player who can play both flanks to cover for Salah and Mane (Griezzman, Malcom, G. Martins) or we can just let H. Wilson/ Ojo/ Kent to cover them next season.

The priority is a forward who can cover both flanks and the others depends on who leaves.

Nostradamus. Oh, so you know Hazard's deepest thoughts and you know ManC's players' future intentions too? In that case you're right, absoluely right. Bravo, you win. I'm talking about recruitment strategy for a team as a whole and you pick out best player in two teams who's stayed longer than usual. The usual "reply with oranges when someone's talking about apples" tactic. It's the teams that keep players longer than necessary when better options are available in the market (and can be bought with available resources) that don't win anything. But hey, you're right and you win.

wow, hahaha, what a complete baby, i completely disagree with the transient employes rubbish, the best teams keep their best players end of discussion! What a hilarious childish response! I am sorry to have made you this butthurt mate, you win clearly, i take it back, the best teams in the world sell their best players all the time, i am a complete clown and take it back!

I am sorry for butthurting you this bad, its my opinion and i stand by it 100% that the best teams who win things don't sell their best players, you clearly win by the way you big baby! And if you want and the ed's allow it i can give you Hazard's cellphone number right now and his email to contact him and ask him yourself!
