Fuchs and Albrighton will always have a special place in our history, but if we are looking to push for top 6 on a consistent basis, which is hard enough of a task anyway, we need better depth. It has been obvious for at least two seasons. The starting eleven is clearly capable of top 4 form, but the dearth of quality beyond that has undoubtedly played a part in not being able to sustain that form over a season, not withstanding the loss of confidence/mentality from both squad and it seems manager Yeah tbf I had the 433 in mind when typing that, if we're playing 352 or something then Perez should probably be at number 10, but definitely shouldn't be starting on the wing.

Problem with that is somebody has to want to buy them!!! There’s a reason nobody has ever come in for them in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on where Justins future lies, we'll need another full back too IMO, this could end up being someone from the U23s, I don't take much notice of them so not sure if anyone in there can step up for a few games next season. If not, we could do with some versatile, who can play full back, wing back and on the wing too. CouldNt agree more. Perez would be one of the first I would sell. Try and recoup some moe unfit him. He’s absolutely useless. thats a serious overhaul of the squad, where’s the money coming from?? I really fear for us next year. I would imagine all next year transfer targets would have been based on CL qualification too so it’s back to the drawing board and I have zero faith in recruitment.

Bossman Blessed It Posted 13 July 2020 Share Posted 13 July 2020 I agree with some of the comments on this thread suggesting the need for experienced players to come in. In the event that we get any kind of European football next season it should be infinitely clear that our current squad hasn't got the depth to provide for the extra games, alongside the extra quality we'll need to do well in all competitions. Our injuries have shown just how fragile this we are - moreover how far behind certain players are in adopting our system. You look at someone like Redmond and Armstrong playing tonight and they looks far more incisive than Perez or Albrighton have, even when we were storming the league. I think it's absolutely time to sell as many fringe players as possible and ensure our full matchday squad can have an impact and play our system properly.

We need a winger but Ayoze and Maddison as competition for number 10 role is good. We need 1 or 2 wingers that can got past people. at least 1 CB maybe and LB. and if mendy leaves as back up if wilf is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxinNotts Posted 14 July 2020 Share Posted 14 July 2020 Not so much ‘who I want’ but everything seems to be pointing to us signing Jannick Vestergaard William Carvalho and Adam Lallana for starters, what do people think of these three? Personally, I think they are all quite solid, in terms of bolstering our squad, and giving it more quality in depth. Would rather have these options on our bench than some of those we currently have. We’ll need this for the Europa league, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TiffToff88 Posted 14 July 2020 Share Posted 14 July 2020 Haven't read through any of the previous pages on here, so apologies if its already been discussed, but now that Norwich are down, I'd love us to sign Emi Buendia. I read that Atletico Madrid are interested, which is slightly surprising that he's THAT highly thought of. But i do think we'd be a good fit for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve been awful. The one player who has made it look better is nacho. Nothing to do with Perez. Nacho has been linking the midfield and attack by holding up the ball.

"Depth" Three signings that are no better than what you already have, three players who'll bloat the squad and probably cost in the range of £30-40m not counting Lallana's wages. The way to add depth is to sign players who'll come in and make the starting 11 better hence marginalising the underperforming players, who'll play most weeks regardless at the moment to squad player roles.

Why would you spend the guts of £30m on players to replace three guys who basically never play. James and King aren't even in the 25 man squad and Morgan has been an ornament this season. Add in Perez and Praet who aren't first picks and that's the guts of £100m spent on squad players in 12 months. That would be a suicidal approach, it's time for players to enhance the first eleven.
