If... and it a big if, we keep every one we want to keep. Then for me we need 4 players max. I wouldn't mind Alfie Jones being 5th choice cb. The guy is going to be brilliant.
Up to the manager, but I can see it being Stephens and Bednarek. I wouldn't mind a better cb though, but don't think we will now.

Maybe we intend to let him run his contract. After all, thenn we'll have a year more experienced Stephens and Jan.
We didn't bring in nearly enough last summer, the squad was already light before losing Mane/Pelle. So we signed Redmond (will never be good enough for a European club) and Boufal who was injured for 3 months at the time. We also didn't address the lack of DM last summer, even though Victors departure was long coming. Romeu is fantastic, but he can't be relied on to be fit/available all season. The same thing happens every year, the club talk like they have some masterplan, but they don't. At least not one that can be implemented in the real world.

Season before wasn't much better, Clasie, Juanmi, Caulker were all duds. As were Martina & Stekelenburg, but I'll blame those on the Dutch contingent. Van Dijk & Romeu were bang on. Cedric came in at a good price and will be sold at a healthy profit, don't rate him that highly though. Austin is, as nearly every fan knew he would be, permanently unfit. I have faith in the club to an extent, but there are too many people on here that think they are beyond reproach.
Cedric is better then Clyne for me. Even some Liverpool fans think the same. Cedric's first season was meh,but he has kicked on. Clasie is decent.
