In my opinion you need a spine down the team.

Big CB
Big CM
Big ST

Then you have other players to play off them.

The players at the spine of the team need to be committed long term <ok>
 
Think RM is down the pecking order. We may get De Bryne on loan, but don't think any one permanent will come in after the Rodriguez signing.

Of course they'll be more permanent signings ffs.

i think he meant a permanent rm
 
I think that Adkins will bring in a European/South American CB, Adkins likes to play out the back, so someone similar to David Luiz but far less risky would be ideal, he needs to be confident and quick on his feet but reliable. Strong in the challenge, hard to beat in the air, these are the qualities I would look for in a new CB.

Fonte will be jizzed upon by Prem Strikers - they will tear him apart.
Yeah we need a big nasty defender.Those Italian defenders looked quality but there is no chance of getting them <laugh>.

That could be a good tactic you know. Indecent exposure and behaviour means the striker gets sent off and carted away by the Old Bill.

Jake, you've just come up with a revolutionary defensive tactic.
 
WE badly need a keeper atm Forecast is back up. That scares the **** out off me tbh <laugh>
 
Worried about our full backs. They were ripped to shreds on several occasions last season especially by 433. I think we need better quality there as well as a CB or too . I'm very surprised we didn't keep Martin in squad to cover CB's. Along with the obvious that we desperately need to RM with pace.

I know fox is a great set-piece taker and Richardson has provided lots of assists too but I can't see us getting away with the full backs getting forward so much next season.

Main issue with Richardson is his fitness - we`ll only get half a season out of him, so a another RB is necessary. Can`t see Butters living in the Prem at his age.
 
I agree we need new players all across the back. I think our full backs are going to see a lot faster wingers this year and based on last season they are not going to handle it well. If we can play far enough forward to keep there wingers back then we could be ok with what we have. Not sure we can do that though.
 
Theres still a lot of work to be done in the transfer market, thats for sure.

Second this, I think we will see another 5-7 players come in yet.
GK, RB, X2 CB, X2 CM, X1 L/R M and maybe even another forward!

There will be a GK, CB x2, CM, a winger.

If we can get de bruyne in he will be extra handy as can play on the wing or as a central attacking midfielder! Like having 2 players for the price of 1!
