After our recent transfer activitiy we have started to rebuild the squad. What positions do you think there are left to fill and do you think the club will meet your expecations?

Personally I think we need the following:

x1 CB make that 2 if Dunk goes.
x1 Winger.
x1 Creative midfielder.
x1 Striker.

I wouldnt be suprised to see Ince and Dunk leave to make way for more players to come in.

Without any other players going:

1 x CB
2 x Winger
1 x Creative/Attacking Midfielder
1 x Striker

However, i'd sell Dunk for £3m+ and COG and get replacements for them too.

Offload COG , Chicksen , Colunga

Sign

2 Strikers
1 Winger although 2 be good.
1 CB

Throw some money at the strikers and wingers and would fancy top half

Without any leavers I would like Striker, wide player, attacking midfielder and CB. So just the 4 more. The wide player and number 10 type are the key signings for me.

How much money do you reckon we will get for those three? It might free up some wages but it isnt going to help towards transfer fees.

1 x CB
2 x Winger (Left and right)
1 x Striker
1 x Attacking midfielder (replacing Tex)

With that-I would be delighted.

I'd rather that we had more quality than quantity in terms of additions. So, I'd be happy with a centre back, a rapid goalscoring winger, and either a forward or extremely creative attacking midfielder who has also got goals in them.

Hughton stated in an Argus interview that he needed to replace the 5 loanees we lost at the end of the season, and 3 that didn't have their contracts renewed = 8 new players.

However, Rea has moved up to the full squad, so now 7 required.

We have signed 3 ( Hughton talked about the keeper signing to replace Walton as a like-for-like positional replacement ) of these 7, meaning 4 more required.

For me, these 4 are :

1 Striker
1 Winger
1 Central At Midfielder ( Tex II )
1 Central Defender.


There is a big case for selling Chicksen to free up another squad place for another winger, as the squad is too defensively balanced with the addition of Rea in defence/defensive midfield, and both Bong and Rosenior can play left back.


IF COG is sold, add another striker.

( I assume Colunga is going, whether sold or loaned ).

My ideal scenario would be:

At least one CB.
+
Two wingers, an attacking central midfielder and one striker (maybe two if Colunga and COG go).
+
Get shot of COG & Chicksen.

Someone like Charlie Oatway then.

Still got my fingers crossed on Ali J and Murphy.
Add to that an attacking central midfielder and a centre back and you have a squad equipped for upper mid table

Can't argue with any of that.

Agree about offloading COG, Colunga, Chicksen - would be happy to get rid of all 3 for nothing and save on wages
