Goalkeeper, left back and striker are essential before the season starts in my opinion but I'd prefer them to come in asap so we've got chance to make sure they're up to speed on both fitness and the way Sami Hyypia intends us to play this season.
With Ulloa sold and Monakana sent out on loan all we need is one more player to go this week and he's got it spot on about 3 deals, Shame it all appears to be outgoing and not incoming deals though.
I imagine Ward will be one of them but I wouldn't be surprised if we signed at least one of the Finnish players that Sami Hyypia is interested in as well, possibly the keeper.
