A bit too early to choose the first XI:
Ryan
Bruno Duffy Dunk Bong
Stephens ????
Knockaert Groß Kayal
Hemed
Subs: Mäenpää, Rosenior, Hünemeier, March, Sidwell, Murray, Baldock

I think we can only afford to choose players that actively fit in or plug gaps rather then spend on any player that is a little better than what we've got. Jota and Hughes could arguably be competing for the Knockaert role.

I would like us to sign a left-sided defensive midfielder who can double up as left back if needs must. It would help if he could take more than...
Waiting game. Top clubs buy £30 million players leaving over 21 year old players are never going to make the cut in the top 6 teams. The younger departing players might be on only £10K a week.
