Summer Signings..

In terms of back up options left back and goalkeeper are the most pressing areas to add depth/competition.

In terms of improving the first team thats tricky, when a team gets 90+ points with the most clean sheets and the two top scoring forwards in the league there isnt much to improve. Making any sort of drastic change is as likely to hurt us as it is to help. The two areas that probably could improve are a no10 who can link the midfield with the strikers, and a more direct attacking option to replace Sturridge and offer a genuine alternative to Firmino.

Lots of valid points but not sure 100% if all our top players who have been here for 3 seasons will want to stay. Some will think if 90+ points is not enough then what the fuck is ?

Another point will be player motivation and sell on value. Sometimes it is necessary to replace players just so you can recycle the team with new motivation. The last 3 times we came second the following seasons were just shit.
 
We need

A back up keeper
Back up left bsck (maybe Lewis)
At least one attacking wide player
At least one more CM
Another no 9 to rotate with Firmino

We’ve been very lucky he hasn’t been out much.
 
I was thinking that..
Option to have from the bench..

Free transfer.. Whats to lose.. ?

Imagine Babel would absolutely love that idea.
He’s done well to recover his career over the last few years.

I was going to slag him off but his stats are quite good.

oh I was just reminded that Tielemas plays for Leicester.
Sign him, before they make the move permanent.
 
I'd sign both Michael Antonio (great player to have in the squad) & Babel (he's a Red, scores goals, works hard etc) ...
Modo's shout is a good one too if Monaco will be selling (don't think Leicester have an option)
 
Read the other day that Monaco would be open to letting him leave as they want to sign Gomes up permanently, who's on loan there at the moment.
 
I wonder what will happen to Millie if Leeds don't get promoted in the playoffs.

It feels like Grujic might return and get rotated through the team, maybe rotating with Fabinho as that feels like his kind of role? We desperately need someone who can replace one of the front three but lost on who that is. The idea of Werner worked for me but those links seem to have died down.

Hakim and Brandt for less than £50m if the rumours are right that they have really low buy out clauses
 
On the face of it.. we don't really need anything special...

Keita, Gomez and the OX will all be like new singings..

Keita has been excellent of late, whilst OX will offer something different in terms of drive from midfield we have been lacking in some parts of the season..

Wilson will likely be in the squad as Brewster will be too..


A New Backup Goalkeeper (mignolet will likely depart) and A Backup left to replace moreno back maybe ?

Brewster will replace the outgoing studge...


Just to add some of those balls last night from Keita where special... he is going to be a very special player next season..


One huge money signing would be enough I think... maybe a forward...
 
Looks at city who are going to win the leagues bench, then look at ours. We need some more quality depth. We need to bring people on who can change the game, defo 1 or 2 subs for the front 3 and not fucking origi. Also we need a creative no.10.
Not sure if we don’t need another cb based on gomez’s sicknote
 
A forward, someone who can step in for Firmino, and ideally also do a decent job in the lateral attacking positions.
