We need at least two, hopefully Three, beasts of Central mids. That is prirority one. Sell Lucas and Allen if needed to Finance it, but we need no bullshit winners in the engine room now. We are painful to watch when put under pressure.....
* Schneiderlin (as I think we'll move Lucas and/or Allen).
* ST to replace Balotelli (Origi to replace Lambert) - so we have Origi, ST, Studge & Sinclair (or Sterling if he stays).
* CB to replace Lovren (who I think will move on for 8-10 million) - would love us to go after Varane, but everyone says it's not possible so go after some Germany u21 player that Bayern 'loaned' out with a buy back fee ... worked last transfer window.
* Vietto - AM to challenge Coutinho, and push Lallana to an impact sub player. Just don't think he's capable of playing in an up-tempo system (be it because he holds the ball too long, or his fragile build - Ross was right).
* Germany u21 goalkeeper (if it's not Ter Stegen).
* 2-3 u16 players from the lower English leagues.
Last time I watched West Ham Song was terrible.
The "outs" are exactly the same as mine in the other thread about next year except for Lovren who I still think can come good.I can't remember the last window where we didn't need a bagload of players. This time round:
Gk
Lb
Rb
Dm
Cm
Am
Striker
So pretty much a new team.
But out can go:
Jones
Johnson
Kolo
Lovren
Lucas
Gerrard
Mario
Lambert
Alberto
Aspaz
Borini
Just as well we're really good at off-loading shit players promptly and efficiently.
Without CL next season it won't be easy getting good replacements.
i look forward to hansern making every signing out to be 'shrewd' until they play and they are exactly what i said they'd be.
You couldnt be more wrong then, nor have I said every signing is "shrewd".
Its also very easy to be negative about everything. You're bound to get some right.
Lovren has been the worst obviously, but apart from him we've gotten pretty much what was expected.
Loads of young players who are up and down performancewise in their first year.
The funniest part in all this is still Kolo Toure who I got absolutly lamblasted for suggesting could be a great influence in the dressing room and for the younger players and a good free transfer.
Bar that we all get some right and some wrong. Its how it works when you have an opinion not coloured by negative repetitive shite and actually think someone will succeed.
You mean "lambasted". "Lamblasted" refers to a Welshman drunk out of his mind who thinks the young sheep in the next field is quite attractive.
