Targets should we stay up

I don't think the quality from the championship is in question with the right player. There are players like Hughes and Chalobah who are tipped to make the step up, same as Byram. The issue comes with the mentality of the whole squad the player being brought in.
He's Chelsea's mind.

He is, but I'm willing to bet a loan or a decent offer goes in he'd be off. They really rate him at Chelsea, but how and when will he make it in to that team? Bearing in mind they want to invest further in CM and have the likes of Van Ginkel, Romeu and McEachran all unavailable currently though loans or injury, add them to the stalwarts like Lampard, Ramires and Mikel and you can't see him getting a chance at Chelsea.
 
Why do people think Welbeck would come to us? He didnt want to when we were top half never mind scrapping at the bottom
 
We've had a target list drawn up in case we get relegated, but what about staying up?

I'd personally still look at the likes of Byram, Lees and Lascelles from Leeds and Forrest respectively, there were some murmurings in Italy about Kovacic should we stay up but I think we can discard those!
If we stay up, second division players will get us a second division team. An odd one maybe but we must get away from that.

Steven Caulker if Cardiff get relegated. He'll cost a decent amount of money but he could be our CB for years. He also seems to be a player who takes responsibility and has leadership qualities. Jordon Mutch should be another we target.
So, one post says second division despite what we should already know, another says relegated players, this is what's go us in this mess.

and whittingham

From this thread I'd definitely go for McCormack, Redmond, Caulker and McGugan. All will add much needed pace and youth.

Sign Vergini and Alonso (and wishfully thinking, Borini) and re-sign Ustari for a year. Theres a start.

and extend mannone's contract
 
David Villa didn't look very happy on the bench just there. If he's unhappy, might be worth putting a cheeky bid in. Promise of starting every game might just tempt him.

Not sure he'll take a pay cut mind so that might hold things up
