Another one of those squad evaluation threads

With Fabinho, Keita and now Shaquiri joining, how are we looking?

Personally, if we're looking to have a go at the title I think we're short a keeper, an attacking midfielder and a striker. In that order.
The squad could also do with another left back so we can get rid of Moreno.

Edit: to clarify, not a striker to replace Firmino, someone to compete with him.

I feel we need a centre back. There is a big drop off from Virgil to Lovren. There is another massive drop off to Matip/Klavan/Gomez.

If we had a boss keeper we could win the lot. We could have won the CL last season if it wasn't for Karius. Can't believe he's still there, we'll win fuck all with him.

Arsenal look to be making some smart moves, Chelsea will likely be much better and Spurs / Utd / City will consolidate.

This is going to be a tough season.

We need another match winner and a keeper as a minimum.

I haven't seen who Arsenal have signed.

Do you think Keita and Fabinho improves us more than what Arsenal have done so far?

They have signed a Uruguay midfielder who was very good at the WC. Not too sure about the rest as well but they have signed 5 players and have confirmed that's their business done.

Fabinho and Keita are a big upgrade in midfield and we are now very strong in that area even if we could still use a creative attacking outlet. Shaqiri gives us some much needed squad depth in the wide attacking positions but we are still light in terms of strikers. Defence will hinge on keeping VVD Clyne and Robertson fit . And we obviously need a much better keeper.

I suspect we will sign 2 more players, a creative attacking mid and a striker, but not until the likes of Sturridge, Ings and maybe Klavan are moved on.

Sokratis from BVB - error prone and slow
Leno the keeper - decent buy
Uruguayan MF - never heard of him.
Young French MF - unknown

Er, we’ve got Shaquiri as you’ve said in your first sentence. We just need a keeper, an attacking midfielder and a striker.

Took me a while but now I get it.
