    Fletcher & Graham are our only recognised ones so its not rocket science really. Not sure we can sustain 5 mind.

    Strikers win games so if you have 3 or 4 good ones, fighting for 1 or 2 places, its far more healthy.

    I think we will get one established striker and one potential this summer.

    Still want Rose as a priority and another centre half. Brown too injury prone and I'd let Bramble go. Keep Killgalon? Why not.

    I think we are going to be very busy this summer mate

    January was one of the worst transfer windows we have had in a long time, we left ourselves short when we should of been trying to bring in 2 maybe even 3 more to beef up the squad so that needs addressing as well as improving the quality in the side.

    I said on a thread yesterday I could see us needing up to 8 players

    Danny Rose has to be the number one priority but after that we really do need to bring in a good quality RB, the heart of the defence needs an injection of pace, if Brown, Bramble and Mangane go we could be looking at 2 new CB's and there is still question marks over the creativity in the central midfield area before we get onto strikers

    Rose at LB and a replacement for McBardo at RB are defo priorities for me. Some of the ageing CBs can go too and something better than McClean wouldn't hurt either. Up front, a couple of decent strikers would be good 'n all.

    With Fletcher Graham and Whickham we have our quota of tall strikers. We need a short quick striker in the Defoe mould to compliment those three

    if he does want 5 strikers we need to buy 2 strikers, 1 att mid (versitile), 1 def midd, 2 cbs, 1 rb and danny rose. That's eight players.

    That means Connor whickham out on loan next season, unless he will rotate Graham, fletcher, Sess, and Connor get a left and right back from Italy, play N'dye more. Titus, Colback, Brown, could be moved on. My worry is will Mig and Sess be here in August?.

    been reported in the Italian media that we may look to bring Inter Milan striker Rochi in as player coach

    watched him last night against Roma and he was ok, only playing due to Milito and Palacio not being in the squad

    probs get 5 or 10 apps out of the lad but obv. the main point of him coming if he comes would be as a coach

    I understand he played upfront with Paolo at Lazio
