Our squad and where we need to strengthen

[W12hoops]

"In my view this means the squad needs 3-4 players. One right back, one left back, a defensive midfielder and maybe a winger"

Now then, my question:

Who would you, realistically, like to fill these positions before transfer window closes?

My answers:

No change in ownership/transfer funds:
Right back: Would play Dyer.
Left Back: Bertrand (loan).
Def Mid: Bullard (loan).
Winger: Would say puncheon but cant even afford that, so will have to pass on my own question!.

Rumours (although very unlikely) of a £10mill kitty after takeover:
Right back: James Tomkins (approx £5mill?).
Left Back: Bertrand (loan).
Def Mid: Jenas (approx £5mill? Really cant see him having a sniff this year at Spurs).
Winger: Would say (for discussion purposes only obviously as this scenario is 99% not going to happen) that IF the "£10mill transfer kitty" was to emerge, the above 2 PL proven buys plus quality young left back on loan, would be a wise way to spend it. IMO, having Dyer, Smith and DJ as options is enough on the wing.

I would love it as much as you, but it's pointless to speculate. Why would he give us a £10m transfer kitty?! It's just pure papertalk IMO. Even if he was about to, why would he say so in media before the takeover takes place?
Not criticism - just my opinions and thoughts
Sorry but it is as you wrote very unlikely.

Fair enough

gotta feeling the premier is going to throw up a big challenge for our centre backs. shittu i think will be too slow to keep up the pace. Hall, inconsistent. Gorks for me will start the season a bag of nerves, like he did when he first joined us. Gabbidon, ?. Connolly, stick with him. I'm happy with the rest of the squad though. So yeah, i think the centre back position will be our week link.

Didnt realise Johnny Averages got 52 caps and 6 goals for Germany?

plus 3 free transfers...dont use international caps as yardsticks because carlton palmer,geoff thomas and carlton cole have got caps...

Strikers - DJ, Boothroyd, Helguson, Agyemang - very happy with the first three and agyemang will only be used as an impact sub.

Whaaaat....no Rob Hulse?!?
