With a summer clear out on the cards in the summer. What would be everyone’s priority. What would be the first two positions to replace? It’s safe to say a striker is everyone’s first choice. Personally I would then say right back. Kenny is a steady player but not convinced he’s of the same calibre of a younger Coleman or a Digne.
It’s been quiet on here so thought raise a bit of discussion.

Striker definitely, then a number 10. We might not look to replace Sigurdson but he needs to know that if he plays like he has this season in the main then he will be dropped. He is the player we rely on for a bit of craft, but he’s not shown it nearly enough for me.

I would love to see Dacorae come in if we lose Gueye to PSG.

Striker and right winger. Siggy will massively improve when he has a clever striker to find with his quality passes. At the moment he has to check his run and pass sideways.

Given the season we are having, and where we might end up, I doubt quality players who are used to regular European competition would give us a second glance. Maybe we should do what others on here suggest and give the youngsters a chance from now until the end of the season. In and out the odd time is hardly going to do much good so perhaps a good run for them would be better. It might just make the next transfer window a bit easier for Marco and Brands.

{Ed025's Note - that would work for me nick..

Striker a must then would like to see Vlasic and Onyekuru given a chance. List of players to move on too endless.

Apparently we have made a move to sign right back Meunier from PSG, replacement for Seamus.

The right side definitely needs to be addressed and a goal threat is needed
We have been lopsided for many seasons now and teams know where to expose us and where to close us down to nullify us.

I honestly think we need to secure our Premier position with what we have now. We still need possibly 7 points and our run in isn't the easiest! Then we can talk about player needs.

would like us to sign another centre back as well as Zouma. No convinced on Keane needs to be more aggressive too nice. Right back and a striker.

Maybe Holgate could return next season as right back. He is doing well at West Brom. Hopefully Zouma moving in the summer won’t be hindered by Chelsea’s transfer ban.
Pickford
Holgate/ Kenny
Keane/ Mina
Zouma
Digne
Gomes
Davies/ Doucoure
Sigurdson/ Dowell
Lookman/ Bernard
New Striker
Richarlison/ Bernard

DCL and Onyekuru to come good in a couple of seasons.
PSG right back linked so maybe room to negotiate with Gueye. Hopefully sell the fringe players like Schneiderlin and McCarthy. Plus those out on loan like Mirallas. We may get some money in through sales of Niasse, Tosun and I would personally sell Walcott too. This would cover Gomes and Towards Doucoure. We then hopefully buy a top striker with our budget one thing paying another persuading them to come without champions league.
Intrigued to see if any of the Ed’s have any thoughts on a striker who would be a realistic target for us in the summer.
