Need a left back, a striker and a winger. Not sure we need two strikers as Fenelon, although unproven, is adequate as a 4th choice striker.
4 (four).
Quality Creative Midfielder and Striker! Got a few midfielders already, but given our slow build up and total football style, this position needs to be dramatically improved? Trouble is, that type of player wont come cheap and as a guide, there are currently very few playing in the Championship??. Hope the new manager can enforce some of his own much needed tactics and ideas, and play to the strengths of our best offensive players(LuaLua,Buckley,March and CMS)

Left back
Multi million pound striker
Orlandi replacement
Lingarrd replacement
Would be happy with them and maybe a centre back loan signing in September if our current ones are not performing
Brighton Mod
Its All Too Beautiful
I reckon its going well atm, lets all wait and see, the aquad is strong enough, its how we play as a team and what strategies and tactics we adopt. My biggest concern, and this is not negative, is with the manager and how he decides to play this year,
The strongest part of Bruno's game has been going forward. Maybe, as a great defender, Sami wants better quality defenders in the back 4?

Thunder Bolt
Silly old bat
Has everyone forgotten Dale Stephens, attacking midfielder & set piece taker, already?
LamieRobertson
Not awoke
I don't think so...even if he is out injured...but let's face it on the whole we r useless at creating much from free kicks near the goal and corners

Maybe he offers a bit of creativity in midfield

Left back - ward
Striker - Chris wood
Wide midfielder - Ben Pringle
Center back- Grant Hanley
Attacking midfielder - Lingard
Would be playoffs minimum.

Not Chris Wood please, he is hardly an improvement on Barnes, we need someone who doesn't need a dozen good chances for every goal.

I'd like Ward / Orlandi / a v good striker who we prob have to spend out on / a centre back same as the striker ie we may have to spend a bit /
That will see us competitive - prob a mid table squad (which some won't see as good enough, others will be satisfied)

I think it will be tough regardless of our squad. I think each year the competition has been getting tougher. The teams that have come down aren't just selling their best players and going with cheap replacements, they're bringing in excellent players on top of what they have. Which 2 of these teams are we supposed to finish above:
Cardiff, Fulham, Derby, Wigan, Norwich, Watford, Forest?
gotta love NSC logic!

So it's ok to write him off before he's even played a competitive game? If he's signed as the Barnes replacement then he might not be the goalscorer, but do the hard yards that Barnes did for us. So it depends on your definition of success.

Where did I say I'd written him off, out of interest
...I said it doesn't insipre confidence, unless you disagree. In which case I take it your happy with selling one for £8m and replacing it with one for £500k. And you do think O'Grady will be our main man.
I also want Orlandi back, but only as a pay as you play style deal.
He seems to be quite injury prone and has a long standing knee problem (by the looks of it). Always seemed to be icing it immediately post game or when substituted it.
