In the summer I can see Ross signing a long term deal and staying and Romelu signing a deal as rumoured based on our achievements with but out clauses involved and still being with us next season.
In the summer it's very obvious we need a GK&CB. I think in goal we should be 100% targeting Jack Butland and paying however much necessary to get him, top top goal keeper and still very young.
Centre half there is a few more options, Michael Keane the obvious one, Ben Gibson been linked before but I don't think he is of top top quality and a long shot Van Dijk who I think we should be realistically targeting if we want to go where Romelu wants to go and make Champions League and be established there.
Many may laugh but I also think we should have a go at getting Martial or Mahrez cost around the 40 million mark but would help contribute to scoring goals and helping Rom out in that department
Oh and Gylf
I don't think we will realistically sign all of these players obviously but all should be targets.

I bet we have a list of players none of us have even ever heard of. Steve Walsh and his team seem to be good at picking gems up, as his track record proves.
He just had to be aware whether they can work with rk and in his style of play.

I think it's a huge summer for us. We need to get some class players in to bridge that gap between us and the top teams, or we're in danger of doing the same old thing of stalling while our rivals become stronger. Not only that, but we need to tie our best players down with lengthier contracts.

I think we're all in agreement in saying that we need a new GK and a couple of CB's. I'd also hope we strengthen on the wings and add another striker. I'm sorry to say it but our wingers aren't good enough. I like Kev, I really do, and on his day he is brilliant but that day hardly ever comes around. As for the return of Deulofeu, I'm not holding out for much. I really like the look of that Brandt from Leverkusen but I have a feeling that teams mix bigger than us will be sniffing around him. Despite Valencia looking good when he comes off the bench, he's definitely not the answer. I know it's very optimistic but I'd hope we are looking at players of the same calibre of Lacazette or Icardi to play alongside Rom if he stays because it is these players who can take us to the next level.

Obviously if we don't get European football that will prove to be an obstacle in attracting the better players but whatever happens I have complete faith in Steve Walsh because he is a top class scout and place all my trust in our brilliant manager.

For me the most important thing is keeping RK and SW.

I personally think Rom will stay another year beyond the summer because, if I ran the club, I'd have sat him and Ross down and said "we'll build the team around you, who do you want? ". Now we have the money to make that happen and I think both are waiting to see if we do it.

If RL scores against the lot over the park and we win, imagine the volume that his name will be sung at. If he leaves for a CL club he may not play every game so the question is does he want to be a bit part in a "big team" or a legend in a legendary team.
