How would you re-shape in the summer?

Ok first up players who need to be loaned out and only to premiership or championship sides.

Gulasci, Coates, Flannagan, Robinson, Coady, Borini

Sell/release:

Spearing, Wilson, Pacheco, Carroll, Jones,

Retiring:

Carra

From there in my view we need 2 quality players for each position.

GK: Reina. New signing, one that pushes Reina
RB: Johnson, Wisdom (Kelly)
LB: Enrique, New signing (Johnson)
CB: Agger, New signing, Skrtel, Kelly (Wisdom)
DMF: Lucas, new signing
CM: Gerrard Henderson, New signing, Allen (Suso)
RM: New signing Downing
LM: Coutinho Sterling (Suso)
CF: Suarez, Sturridge, New signing, N'Goo

Question mark for me hanging over Shelvey. Has the talent but not sure he has the head.

So looking at up to 6 new players of top quality to come in, easier said

How would you reshape the squad in the summer?

First off; I'd go looking for a good defensive coach then, player wise, - another forward, attacking/creative midfielder, big defensive/central midfielder and a centre-half (or players who can play multiple roles)... all with a bit of pedigree and experience behind them.

Who? F**k knows for now but come the Summer I'm sure we'll see enough names being bandied about.

The most important acquisition between now and the summer is a defensive coach because turning the players we have into an absolute shambles at the back has been one of the achievements of the season by our coaching staff and while it's obvious we need help on the pitch it's even more obvious we need help off it.

Tommy Smiths grandkid if he has one.

I like the sounds of that, I'm sure he's got one somewhere. Send him an offer!

Seriously though I'd like Ashley Williams, Jerome Boateng and Alex Sandro, someone from Stoke will do and I'd like to see Kelly given a go at CB. Spend big on defence and wingers... proper fkn wingers!

Nathan Dyer anyone?

Nathan Dyer anyone?

As penalty taker ?

Well i intend to lose about a stone.

Finally going to pass that one from your kidney?

HAhA Rodders  thankfully i have never had them ive seen a few mates have them and they are complete agony ,had to carry one of my mates into his house once as the pain came on in the car and he couldnt get out and walk.

ATTACK
I'm pretty sure BR will stick to Borini, cant see him going out after 1 injury-struck season

Out
Carroll - 13mil
Downing - 7mil
Dani Pacheco - Free

In
Kevin Gameiro - 8mil
Tom Ince - 6mil

Net: +6mil

MIDFIELD/WING
We definitely need that star signing or as people call it marquee signing to signal our intentions and a deep-lying playmaker cos Stevie is only getting older. I know we had Sahin but we need someone who can adapt. If we sign someone like Mertens, Coutinho can slot into the No.10 position or IF we can grab Eriksen or Jovetic by some way or the other, a front 4 of Suarez-Sturridge-Coutinho-Eriksen is mouthwatering. Plus I definitely feel Teixeira will be involved in the first team more next season

Out
Jay Spearing - 1mil
Suso - Loan

In
1 HOT SHOT (Eriksen/Jovetic/Mertens) - 20mil
Vincente Iborra - 6mil

Net: -25mil

DEFENCE
The most trciky and crucial part of our window. We could very well lose 3 CBs, Carra, Coates & Skrtel. I'm going to stick my neck out and say we don't need a LB atleast this summer (Figureoa is headed to West Ham this summer) and Coady WILL step up as a viable back-up option both at DM and CB. Kelly and Wisdom can pitch in when needed.
Out
Carra - Retired
Flanno - Loan
Wilson - 1mil
Coates - 5mil
Skrtel - 11mil

In
De Vrij - 12mil
Lovren(possibly someone else)  - 10mil

Net: -6mil

25 million spend should definitely be doable from FSG and the 6 additions are definitely gonna add value to our squad. So there it goes, our team will look something like this

Sturridge/Borini

Suarez/Sterling/Assaidi            Gameiro/Ince/Shelvey

Eriksen/Coutinho/Henderson

Lucas/Allen                  Stevie/Iborra

Enrique/Robinson     Agger/Lovren      De Vrij/Kelly/Coady        Johnson/Wisdom

Of course, we stick with Reina for another year, that is!

I like this. I like this very much!

are WE BUYING A NET ?

I say good luck getting Jovetic for less than 25m.

you get the point.. its not like Jovetic would be available 20 mil.. We just need to spend that extra bit to get a key player who can improve the midfield goal ratio from the word GO!

Doesnt hurt to have options especially the quality ones if they are indeed available

He's at Fiorentina. He could definitely leave.

Any top team looking for a striker should be sending scouts to watch him. He's brilliant. But for less than 25m to a foreign club i find it a bit difficult.

He could go to a Juve or someone similar in Italy but they seem to negotiate more favourably (and corruptly IMO) with italian teams and get him for less.

He's a striker. Not a midfielder.

I say it's depressing how Rafa wanted to sign him but wasn't given the money.

Along with Aguero, Javi Martinez and many others. Got to say, Rafa would be an outstanding scout if he got bored of being booed on a weekly basis!

Well, Rafa did want him in the second striker role behind Torres
Given his versatility, he could easily swap positions with Coutinho, Suarez and Sturridge
