As the title states, what for you would your ideal (but still realistic) summer transfer window look like in terms of ins and outs?

Just a bit of fun, and a distraction from the thousands of random links that are already floating about

My purely speculative list

Ins:

Pickford - Top teams have 2 top class keepers. Bayern this season had Urbig come in for league games immediately after European games where Neuer would start. Good for home grown as well.

Lucumi - The link that won't go away. Looks like an absolute unit, seems much more likely to leave with Bologna missing out on Europe, and with Europa we should be in a great position.

Geertruida - Class player who seems to have slotted in really well. Plays across numerous positions and is going to be very useful for squad depth

Archie Brown - Already linked and we definitely need a left back. Looks a really tidy player and can play across quite a few positions

Henderson - i know he's 100 years old, but we've seen the importance of having a 2nd manager on the pitch this season, and the consequence of not having it. High wages, low fee, again good for home grown

Arthur Avom - Another already linked, can play in a few central positions and is already known by Regis. Seems to have a really high ceiling and is growing in value at a young age

Marmoush - The marquee signing. I watched him when he played for Frankfurt and I can say that Man City have not got out of him what I expected. He is rapid, has an eye for a goal and would immediately improve us.

Bamba Dieng - 10 in 22 last season for a mid-table Lorient side, and now out of contract. Signed by Regis before being sent out on loan by his successor.

Outs

Patto - £8m would be a great price for us, and right now is third choice. Id love to see him do well somewhere

Masuaku - We need better, never looked like he was at the required level

Adingra - Clearly a very good player, doesn't fit the way we play. A good world cup could see his value go up nicely

Diarra - Clearly very talented, and one of only two players I think would divide opinion on this list. Getting the money back we spent on him could allow us to reinvest better IMO

Mundle - Its a shame he's on here, because I really rate him, but he's not at the level we need and we could improve that area if he moved on

Mayenda - there is a possibility he turns into a world beater, and getting shot of him is a mistake, but for where we are right now it makes sense.

Hjelde, Pembele, Rusyn, Ba, Aleksic, Abdullahi all that they're not good enough

In

RB/CB - Lutsharel Geertruida - Reasons we already know from last season. Has to be our first choice right back if he joins.

LCB - Natan - The first of the Samba boys. Plays for Betis, comes in and automatically replaces Alderete at LCB. All about competition and good squad depth. A stepping stone to a top champs league team

LB - Archie Brown - English left back playing in Turkey at Fenerbahche. We need competition for Rei and need an English player or two. This lad fits the bill.

DM - Geoffrey Kondogbia - Great back up option to Xhaka. We cannot spend fortunes on everyone and this makes sense.

No8 - Lucas Bergval - The guy who breaks our transfer record. Personally think he’s class but is he what Spurs require at this time to start? He’d start for us every game.

RW - Allan - Right sided winger that plays for Palmeiras. Loves to drive inside onto his left with the ball.

LW - Crysencio Summerville - One of very few bright sparks at West Ham

No10/Second Striker - Angel Correa - Always thought he was unlucky at Atleti to be on the bench so often. Moved to Mexico and is scoring and assisting for fun. Reinildo have a word. The kind of experience that would be a big plus for us for a couple of seasons now we’re in Europe. Wouldn’t be expensive. One last European dance!

No9 - Luis Openda - Linked with him last summer, well known to Ghisolfi. BHH

Out

Everyone you’ve said except Diarra.
