    don't think we need another signing, we've got good enough backup in every position and good options off the bench. A decent wideman would be handy but with lallana and puncheon already doubtful starters I think we are sorted.

    I still think we need some additional cover up front. If Rickie or JRod picked up bad injuries we're down to Guly and Mayuka.

    Same here, not just bench warming backup but actual competition for the first team. We've not improved enough relative to other teams to finish top 10 yet, and we know that's the aim.

    Something tells me you wouldn't be happy with just any midfielder :)

    <laugh> Would love it to be Banega but it's dragged on too long. I would go for a wide player who can cut inside and score, haven't a clue who tho.

    Sorted if we want to be a bottom half side. But that's not the aim. We want top 10 and the squad isn't quite good or deep enough yet.

    Another player I like is Will Hughes but he wouldn't add much to our squad atm.

    No harm in buying him and loaning him back to Derby. :)

    Rated him but was a bit disappointed when I saw him yesterday. Seemed to shy away from a few tackles.

    Thought Hughes was very good yesterday. Very agile and a good playmaker.

    Adam Blackmore of BBC Solent says he has been told that both Banega and Damiao are non-starters now.

    If we start the season with:

    Boruc
    Clyne Lovren Yoshida Shaw
    Wanyama Cork
    Ramirez Schneiderlin Rodriguez
    Lambert
    Bench: Davis, Chambers, Fonte, Davis, Puncheon, Lallana, Mayuka

    we will have every chance of challenging for a european spot. We could spend 20 mil on Damiao and not improve our first team at all.

    That is an incredibly talented team of which only cork, yoshida and rodriguez are of a quality that we could realistically purchase improvements on.

    Agree Rabbit but you need an in depth squad to challenge. We were lucky with injuries and suspensions in the main last season.
