What we need to take us to the next level

Another striker for sure especially if the rumours about Isidor and Mayenda are true.

Cover for Xhaka
CB (not Lucumi, hes a bombscare waiting to happen)
Right Back as I think we'll end up with Mukiele and Alderete at centre back next season.
LB to cover Reinildo

Mind we'll probably have to replace 4-5 others that will likely move on.


I'd like us to sign Geertruida but I just can't see it happening now.
 

We need more creativity and goals from midfield/the wings. Defensively we are pretty solid but need some reinforcement as numbers are limited in the position
 
For next level then we need a big overhaul

All IMHO and won't happen, but...

need (starting or v good cover)

New CB
New CB
New LB
New CDM
New LW
New RW
New ST
New ST

Plus replace any sold not on below list

All of these can be loaned/sold/released as far as I'm concerned as they don't get in a "next level" match day squad

Zak Johnson
Seelt
Abdulahi
Mundle
Mayenda
Traore
Geertruda
Isidor
Cirkin
Patterson
Luís Semedo
Huggins
Pembélé
Browne
Nazariy Rusyn
Adingra
Alese
Hjelde
Moore
Onien
Abdoullah Ba
Milan Aleksić
H Jones
Neil
Musauka
 
I think we need to plan for a life after Xhaka - there's no way we'll get anyone who'll be a like-for-like replacement, so it's probably more a case of figuring out a tweaked system then recruiting against that. If Spurs went down I'd like to see us go for Lucas Bergvall as a long term replacement. He's excellent.

Think we might need to upweight on field leadership generally. The downside of recruiting so many young players is that we're light on that front.
 
1, who doesnt, personally if BB doesnt get a WC spot id have him working all summer with private striker coach, improve on his finishing he does rest of it right imo

2. Probably need a right winger who is left footed

3. Ideally we get someone who be happy to be long term option their

4. Yeah, totally agree, dont have any names off top my head

5, simple clone Nordi, tbf with this you could either get a right back of similar level to Nordi or Centre back with similar traits
Haven't we just employed a golden boot winner as our striker coach
