We finish top 4 and I expect us to have a 80m to 120m budget for 2/3 good (not world class) players. This hinges on commercial growth. Maddison obviously for £50m. Diaby because Miggy isn’t class. He’s just good. This would be £40m-£50m. And then Tierney for £20m.
Don't know why everyone is so quick to want to 'replace' Wilson. He's got 10 prem goals this season in 23 games. 7 of those he was sub. Easily better than. 1/2 in terms of mins played. He's also one of the best characters we have in the squad. I want to see him bagging in the Champs League next season. If we achieve our ambitions this year we need another CF rather than replacing anyone.
Problem is there's other positions are weak in depth like LB CB RB and CM needs another proper player I feel. Striker would be last on my list atm but toney and isak would be nice with Wilson staying also.
I'm hoping that they can bring Ashby through quickly at RB. Seems he should have potential. Also don't know what version of Krafth we will get back. Deffo all positions mentioned we need to strengthen
LB and RB maybe. CM we have enough. CB also maybe however we have some youth to come through. I think Ekitike would be a good addition to play with Isak.
I think we need a CM who can play in that Bruno role. It seems a big issue if he's out with the way we play as there isn't anywhere near the same capability to link the defence and midfield and it puts us on the back foot. We are also light on cover in that right CM role longstaff is in. Either someone to replace Bruno starting in his role and then move Bruno forward into RCM or someone cheaper who maybe can fill in for both positions so you can rotate effectively.
