    If that's what they are doing, they have their priorities straight at least. For me CB is our #1 need. And then either a striker or AM as a close second, most likely AM but it depends on formation. Then the other attacking position. Then GK and if Forster is willing to stay I might even skip GK and go for another winger/AMC type. But I could also see why they would want another GK, particularly with Forster's status in doubt and McCarthy not-quite-proven (though he's looked quite good so far).

    Hopefully we get this one Done then, Sell Boufal and bring in sisto! Would it be greedy If I wanted Dembele up top too?

    McCarthy
    Clyne? Shawcross Hoedt Bertrand
    Romeu hojbjeeg
    Sisto Tadic Promes
    Dembele.

    That would be how I'd love out summer recruitment to go.

    I’d hope we do better than Shawcross.

    I just don’t think he’s that good and there must be better out there.

    I’ve also heard that Clyne went off the rails on the bad stuff... allegedly.

    Me too, also recreating Mark's greatest hits isn't going to be a good way to do this.

    Of Course.. but he could of just gone very stale at Stoke.
    He knows the league Well, But if we could find another VvD then let's pull him out.

    Do you know if the GK will be a back up to McCarthy, or someone like Fabianski?

    That’s true, it might be he needs a change.

    Agree with this. Shawcross was at his best in a team that maintained its shape, got a head on every ball, and got a boot on every knee. With a more open style, he has gotten exposed much more regularly.

    I'd like Shawcross he is a big powerful and very physical presence with leadership qualities we lack.
    It's been said a few times that we are too nice, he'd change that
    Would take Joe Allen and Shakiri too

    Isn’t he just a bit of a clogger from the pulis era?
