    If hypothetically Jota and ccv sign I'd go for a real quality left back, centre half and defensive mid. Then a lot of work is required to clear a substantial amount of either senior players that can't get near team and younger players who don't appear to have a future at the club. Ange will have a full pre season with players so hopefully he can bring through a bolter or two (Murray, lawal, vata, brooks perhaps)

    Great point about us being to nice.We are a soft team and need to toughen up.Said it in other threads our japanes players are great but they need to toughen up and be a bit more aggressive in their game.

    Agree wa you , but if CCV signs and Julien is still here I don't see a CB being signed , would look for a young winger as think Forrest looks done

    Forrest and Julien look done unfortunately. We need CCV, Jota, LB, CB, CDM, another winger and a big clear out of players

    We need a fast, ball playing CB who can carry the ball out of defence.

    I think Jullien will leave in the summer.

    Our standout players in preseason were Liam Shaw and Owen Moffat which tells you how different our side is now :giggle1:. Just imagining the likes of Hatate with a summer off and a proper preseason has me drooling.

    Reckon we need a set piece coach, our corner deliveries have improved a tad but overall, we are totally pish from set pieces.

    Think so too, love the guy but I thought his mobility and agility in the cup game where he saw minutes wasn't great

    Copied from an old thread but pretty much still my thinking. My only real change is I would definitely like a CF too. I want someone closer to Kyogo as backup if he was injured again.

    doesn't matter what position he plays just for the love of * sign a player who can hit a free kick, how many free kick goals have we scored in the last few seasons?
    we used to have Larsson, Thomson, Petrov, Maloney, Nakamura, Mulgrew, Griffiths to rely on for free kick goals now we have no one and its ridiculous

    And Van Dijk. Wish Liverpool would let him take the odd one when Trent is out because he was * class at them for a centre back lol.

    Biggest area of need for me is we need a quality 6 signed which would also have the benefit of allowing McGregor to play 8 which IMHO is his best position. Left back is also a need and the center back situation depends really on what Ange thinks Jullien can or cannot do next season and what happens with CCV.

    Our squad needs quite a bit of work if I'm honest.

    Ange has done incredibly well and somehow got a tune out of some pretty average players but the reality is they are playing above themselves and will likely regress to the mean.

    To be where we want to be which is being later stages Europa / challenging for Champions League last-16 we likely need a GK, DC, DL, DMC, MC, AMR for the starting 11. This is also assuming we get Jota and CCV.
