General Chat • What do we need for next season? Signings etc.
For me:
- A manager who was worked at a club with big expectations and could handle the pressure, so Silva, Garcia, Bilic, Wolf, De Boer or Berizzo are fine by me. Style of play is also important, so again those are fine.
- Formation: either 4-3-3 or 4-1-3-2. Tired of seeing one up top, especially at home.
Signings:
Filip Helander - £3/4m
Michael Dawson - free
Charlie Adam - free
Abel Hernandez - free
Diogo Goncalves - loan
Gonzalo Melero £3/4m - since Pablo will go, we'll need a replacement.
Lucas Nmecha (Man City)- loan
Backup GK - free. Don't know who.
We wouldn't have to break the bank for them. Obviously wages would be an issue, but we'd be saving money on transfer fees.

As 4-1-3-2 and 4-3-3. Both teams would be quick and not too disimilar to this year. Very good on the counter.
Other options include Dawson, Cooper, O'Connor, Berardi/Anita, Phillips, Klich, Ideguchi, Rey, Alioski, Sarkic, Dalby, Roberts, Roofe. So some decent depth.
Sell:
Weidwald (wouldn't mind keeping, but we'd at least get a fee for him), Lonergan, Anita/Berardi (keep one), Cibicki, Ekuban, O'Kane, Dallas, Sacko, Murphy, Antonsson.
Loan: Grot
Send back: Pennington, Lasogga.
