Hypothetical: we finish 12th, 40 points by early April. £100m to spend in the summer from some unknown investor, FFP solved. Who do we buy? Names not positions.

Carlsburg.

Not sure Bobby. Part of me would like to see a big name or two but I’d actually be happy with some unknowns who put in a shift and improve the squad.

I can name players who I think need moving on with a bit more ease, but recruiting… I’m only able to give positions.

Oh I can’t wait to see some of the replies. No doubt Ross Barkley and Ademola Lookman will get a few mentions as usual.

I’ll never forget in 2017 when fans on here were deadly serious about being Jack Rodwell back as, not only our starting centre back (despite being 10x as injury prone as Yerry Mina) but also our captain. Despite always being rubbish.

Swan, passing muster has been upgraded methinks mate.

Antonio silva at benfica would be perfect back up for a season to tarks and coady and then let him take the reins.

I’d throw everything at Jude Bellingham but it’s never going to happen. I’d give him a tug if it got him in an Everton shirt.

Marcus thurams bro at nice. Don’t know his name but he would be a good solid buy.

Noah okafor would be a hell of a signing too.

Oh and we will also have to replace Pickford so I would buy meslier

If I was in charge of transfers, we would be challenging for the title by now ? every good player I made not of, before they’re famous, ends up at city or Liverpool.

Matty Cash > Patterson injury prone and Cash is certainly an upgrade. A goal threat too.

If we don't sign Coady, i would want another center half. Nikola Milenkovic or Gianluca Mancini would be my bets. Shift Mina and Keane on.

Piero Martín Hincapié would be shrewd buy as he can play in the lcb role and also fill in at Lb. 21 and looks like he has a promising future.

Could do with a CM but won't afford with the hypothetical 100m.

Beto

Joe Gelhart, I like this lad a lot and we were linked with him in his Wigan days. He would be a reasonable price too. Not really had a fair crack at Leeds considering in the spare minutes he got, he always performed well and grabbed goals or assists. Still only 20 and has loads of scope to improve. He would be a great bit of business and we could bin Maupay off for him and utilise him in that 4-4-1-1 role.

I'd like to see what Dyche can get out the youth. Branthwaite, Welch, Warrington, Price, Mills and Cannon especially. Lillian Thuram is a big unit in DM who covers a lot of ground and can play CB if needs be. He's about 6ft 4inch. That tricky little winger at club brugge looks decent too. Lang I thing he's called. Dutch lad. And a bid for the Swedish striker at Coventry. He looks some player that lad.

Robinson at Fulham (oh wait we sold him for peanuts)

12.) 08 Feb 2023

We sold him because we couldn’t guarantee him game time and he didn’t want to be loaned out. At the time Lucas Digne was playing amazing for us and everyone would’ve laughed at Robinson replacing him when he was as in form as he was.

If Southampton go down, I’d love to see Ward-Prowse come in. That Balogun from Arsenal could be worth a punt, top scorer in France at the moment. Always rated Delefeou too, need some trickery out wide.

{Ed002's Note - Living in a fantasy world sadly.}

Luciano Rodriguez from Liverpool. The Uruguayan Liverpool.

I’m sure we’ll see Lewis Warrington come back and be used next season. He’s playing well at Fleetwood and was really good at Tranmere last season. He’ll be some player.

Likewise with Reece Welch and Branthwaite.

Will be like 3 new signings imo.
