Morrison too much of a gamble for me due to the poor influence he could have on the whole team. If we are playing with an AMC then i would much rather it be Grealish or Gil. Or if Gil goes then someone like Knockaert or Bradley Dack who i think would be really good signings or possibly try again for Hoolahan

I would like us to play two up front in a 3-5-2 and have a squad of strikers of:

McCormack, Ayew, Gestede, Nakhi Wells

Out: Kozak (reluctantly due to fitness), Scott Sinclair, Robinson, Gabby,

Short-term loans: RHM & Green

For me i would like:

-----------------------Marshall-----------------------------------

----------Okore-------Elphick---------Baker------------------

M.Phillips-------------------------------------------------Amavi

-------------Jedinak/Westwood------Veretout/Gardner----

----------------------Grealish/Knockaert----------------------

---------------Gestede/Bamford----Ayew/N.Wells----------

Squad: Steer, Clark, Toner, Bennett, Hutton, Lyden, Traore, Hepburn-Murphy

Out: Gana, Bacuna, Lescott, Richards, Gabby, Sinclair, Kozak, Guzan, Bunn

I wouldn't mind seeing a team of:

                       Marshall

       Okore  M.Keane  Clark/Baker

De laet                                    Amavi

                Gardner      Gana

                        Grealish

             Gestede        Ayew

Subs:

Steer, Hutton/Cissokho, Baker, Westwood, Gil, Adama, Bamford

A mix of championship players and good potential. Make Gardner captain and clark/baker vice captain

Austin (15m)

Embolo (10m)

7m towards Praet

If we sold benteke for 32m I would be happy with Austin and Bamford as two replacements for say

Austin 15m

Bamford 10m

Leaving us a bit of money to strengthen elsewhere

If Benteke did get sold to Liverpool or to someone else do you think sherwood would take a punt on balotelli? I'm not saying I want him, but with sherwoods ability of transforming adebayor and getting benteke smiling and scoring again and the focus of our play I wonder if sherwood reckons he could get the best out of balotelli and would see him as a bit of a younger adebayor. 10m would probably be enough to get him if he did

 

Really want us to go in for Tom Ince. Would cost 4-6m, not big on wages and provide us with genuine threat out wide. He is good on the ball, can take people on and not afraid of receiving the ball under pressure.

 

He's only 21 so his value is surely only to go up over the next few years. He can be our next Ashley Young (without the diving)

 

Tom Ince would be a waste of money and time. We play too narrow for wingers

 

No way, Tom Ince would be great for us. He comes inside a lot as well as staying on the wing and would be great for a 4-3-3 or a 4-4-2. He's also a very confident player and i think he would really fit into our team. For around 4m he would definitely provide value for money and improve our current first team as well as the squad

For me i would love us to try and strike early in January and go for Tom Ince and Will Hughes. Both young, both British, both would definitely challenge for first team places. Yes there will be other competition for them and we would probably end up paying over the odds but i think they will only get a lot better so their values will increase. If they were concerned about first team football then Villa would be probably the best place for them in the Prem. Ince would rival Gabby and Weimann and Hughes could slot in as our attacking midfielder. 

I know Lambert doesn't like loans but another option could be a cheeky loan bid for Kevin de Bruyne. Awesome player

I would love us to go for Moses or Guidetti. Moses is a top player and would be a starter instead of gabby or weimann in my opinion and guidetti could prove to be a great investment in an attacking team

Great striker of a ball by the looks of it. Can he take a free kick or a corner?

Signings i would like if available:

Lescott  - great in both boxes, would be a great partner to vlaar. Could also play left back when needed

Huddlestone - would play the Westwood role. Not first choice at spurs. Brilliant passer. Tall. Can take set pieces

Sigurdsson - Great attacking midfielder. Not first choice at spurs. Good passer

McCarthy - If Wigan go down would gladly pay up to 10m for him. Would play the Sylla role. Box to box. Good passer

Maloney - Would fit in well in the Weimann or Agbonlahor role where we are short of options. Skilful, good passer. Takes a very good set piece

Knockaert - If we get rid of N'Zogbia i feel he would be a very good replacement as Leics aren't going up (mostly due to his missed pen). Great energy and attitude. Skilful. Good set pieces, low wage
