RB...Bruno can’t go on forever
CM replacement for Sidwell with some attacking flair
Striker to cover/compete with Murray (ie target man/hold up type)
Winger cover (to replace Skalak/Murphy)
Replacements for anyone else who leaves

I've been saying for a couple of weeks, i'd be Gobsmacked if Sonny Kittel isn't on the list of targets. 25 years old and plays for our seemingly feeder club, Ingolstadt. He's an attacking midfielder / winger who played alongside Groß last season, both tucked behind a striker. This season, Kittel has really stepped up as the Groß replacement playing mainly as the no.10 picking up 10 goals & 11 assists in the German 2nd tier.
Fits the bill regarding his age, status, current situation and the way he plays. Watch this space.

May be controversial, but I would look at jay Rodriguez...yes he has had his falling out, but he is exactly the sort of player we could do with in midfield, an attacking player in the gross mound. and brunt at fullback.
I assume we will be looking at some decent german players to compliment gross and Stephens.

My first enquiries would be about Joe Allen of Stoke and James Milner of Liverpool whether we would get either is another matter.

Good idea, I'm sure Liverpool will be pretty happy to pass Milner on to us given he's just about to start a Champions League Final for them...

Jonathan Calleri of course.

Greasey greasey spot spot.
I think we'll sign a very highly regarded right back. I think a fairly big fee will go into that area so that we're not reliant on Bruno for too much of the season. We have a terrific player in Schelotto but he's a different type of RB. I think we'll probably sign a player we're all heard of and is tried and tested in this league for that role,
The rest will all be foreign signings none of us have ever heard of!

Milner is on 120,000 a week and contracted until 19/20. Good luck with that !

I didn't realise that his wage was so high but he is the type of player that we need and at 32 years old if Liverpool buy better he could just become a squad player. Being a wealthy man he may want a further challenge where the wage isn't the biggest criteria.
Never wrong.

There aren't even any professional football teams in Wiltshire, are there?....... oh, Swindon.
Why stop at Milner? We need a striker, why not ask whether Salah is available?
