Villaphan04 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Trying to figure out where we will be looking at position wise in the summer. What I think we will be looking at 1x LB (or a CB that can play LB) 1x CB (possibly one who can play LB) 1x DM (if Luiz leaves) 1x AM (Barkley?) Depending on Wesley, possibly a striker but it's hard to sign a quality striker to be a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention there's only one game we've won that we should have lost, and a couple we've lost that we should have won. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players on the bench need to be as good as the players on the pitch. Don't think there has ever been a team that has had that, it's very unrealistic to achieve at any level.

LB, RB, CB, RW and a striker if they think Wesley won't cut it. I'd hold onto Nakamba as backup for Luiz. This squad really isn't good enough to be in 4th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LB, CF, RB all have a serious lack of quality if the first choice got injured until a week ago you could add CM to that list so we are starting to improve these areas. 2 full backs and a striker will be top of the shopping list in the summer you'd imagine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 The next level is to strengthen the squad to have a genuine competition for every position and for us to seriously challenge on all fronts. Then we can truly act like a billy big club again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spyro Tek Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 The very first person I would be looking to upgrade is Mings. On his day he is up there with the best. The problem is that almost without fail he has a massive error in him every game. It's like clockwork, you know it will come at some point and just hope that it doesn't lead to a goal. And that sort of undoes all the good work that he has done. A top quality striker would be great. Watkins can fight for a position on the wing.
