Id take Di Maria, Higuain, Kedhira, Benzema, Ozil, Varane, Callejon......basically any of them.
Im pretty sure Barca will be losing Villa, Sanchez, Pedro too. There is some deals to be done for sure.
Wether we can afford them or not is another thing altogether.
I do hope we shop at the top table this summer, our squad is really sound and just needs a bit of class adding to it.
Two players of the calibre mentioned above would have us challenging again next year.
I still cant get over how much our recruitment has improved this last 18 months.
Allen, Coutinho, Borini, Sturridge......light years ahead of the dross we signed since 2009.
I know I go on about it a bit but
Reina - Good
Johnson - Good
CB - Definately needed
Agger - Good
Enrique - Good
DM - Definately needed
Allen - Good
Lucas - Good
Gerrard - Good
Sturridge - Good
Coutinho - Good
LM - Definately needed
Suarez - Good
Borini, Shelvey, Suso, Sterling, Coates, Wisdom, Assaidi etc capable and all one year more experienced next year.
Downing, Carroll, Skrtel im unsure if we'll keep.
Spearing and a couple of yoots too.
But we have the bare bones of a team who have started playing some great stuff this season. Scored loads more than last season and the season before, Lost 5 less games, Conceeded less, amassed more points, finished higher. Its an upward trend albeit small steps. We need to add a bit of Suarez/Coutinho level class to that front 4 and a bit of grit to the heart of midfield and defence.
I really REALLY hope we dont rip it up and start again. I really hope this team starts next year one year more familiar one year more wise one year more knowledgable.
Bare excited.
