    Definitely not. Colo's the only player in the entire squad who cost 10m or more, and he's a guaranteed starter.

    I think we could get away with 3 players (might suit Ashley more): a CB/LB and since Maiga can play on the wing and we look like signing him, a CM.

    Agreed.

    How about this -

    ------Ba------------Maiga--------

    Martin-------------------Ben Arfa

    ------Tiote------Cabaye------

    Pieters--Colo-----Taylor---Santon

    -------------Krul-----------------

    <ok> looks epic.

    Especially with Jonas, Best, Marv, Ober etc as impact subs, and a deep squad. Europe here we come!

    We'll not get Marvin Martin on Ashley's budget, he's destined for bigger things. But I was saying since we "need" 5 players, we could get away with 3 versatile ones:

    ST/RW (Maiga)
    CB/LB (Ridgewell?/Pieters?)
    CM (????)

    GK: Krul, Elliot, Harper, Soderberg. Forster will be sold. Verdict - solid in this position.
    RB: Simpson & R. Taylor - could do with another but not essential at this moment in time.
    LB: Santon - need a young left back.
    CB: Taylor, Colo, Williamson, Kadar and a couple of youngsters. Verdict - someone versatile and experienced to come in.
    RW: Obertan and Marveaux. Verdict - ok.
    LW: Jonas & Ferguson
    CM: Tiote, Cabaye, Guthrie, Gosling and a couple of youngsters. Verdict - ok.
    AM: Ben Arfa, Sammy and Vuckic. Verdict - ok.
    ST: Ba, Best, Shola. Verdict - striker needed.

    These are short term comments. I've excluded the likes of Perch, Lovenkrands, Ranger and Smith who'll be gone sooner or later. There are also some great young players I've not added to the current list as they're not ready for the first team (but will be soon).

    So we need: Striker, LB, CB in the short term. That will give us a very impressive squad. With time (e.g. after the next two transfer windows) we can improve other areas.

    As for a striker for the future... Sameobi can fulfil the legacy Shola left. We need a striker now to play with Ba. Moussa Sow I rate highly.
    LB and CB are other priorities. As we are trying to get two players for every position
