Obviously the squad has this season proved it is not as lacking in ability as Pulis' tactics had fooled many into believing, however for us to push on we need to build on the foundations while removing the deadwood.
So is there any players out there that you think we could realistically sign? (Name them so I can have a nosy!)
Also who out of the current squad needs to go for sure?

For Striker you can imagine how many would say Diouf to be our main target. Problem is, with him being on a free this summer you can imagine a bigger European club being in him for him.

Ethers, Kightly, Shotton, Palacios, Edu (Sold after his loan finishes) out. Maybe Sorro will go. Then others like Shawcross, Bego, Zonz, Crouch may leave.
That'd leave us with:
Bego Geoff Huth Shawcross Pieters NZonzi Whelan Arnie Ireland Assaidi Odemwingie
Sorro Muniesa Wilson Adam Walters Crouch Wilko Ness Shea Butland
I think Hughes might look at another centre half. A "ball player"! A RB. Not too essential imo.If we get one then maybe Geoff will get a chance in CDM depending on how the others are performing. A CDM. Heard Sidwell mentioned and I'd take him for a year or 2. Assaidi. Another winger - Redmond? I'd certainly like him. ***Striker. Everyone knows we're in for one. No idea who though.

Any half decent offer for Palacios, Shea, Edu and Shotton and they're off surely? Matty obv is going too. Could be a 'surprise' exit too like Huth or Adam maybe?
In terms of essentials to come in, it's a right back, striker and a winger.

Who knows. We're no longer fishing in next doors garden pool.
There's a whole wide world of football that we can explore. Saying that, it would be fantastic to get a youth player at least on the bench regularly.

I'd get rid Walters, missed too many clear opportunities this season. Always 5 seconds behind the game.

I think Micah Richards is a realistic target and could be attainable, especially with his work with Hughes at Citeh. I'd like to think we go for Assaidi, Redmond and Ince to add to Arnie for the wings. Two strikers but I'm not sure who they are who can get us the goals and not break our bank, need another CM in but Geoof or Muniesa could play that for us.
I'd get rid of Shea (Pains me to say but I doubt he has the mental faculties to make it), Wilko, Shotton, Sorensen if Begovic stays, Ness and Palacios. Edu and Kightly are staying at their loan clubs so they've effectivly gone already and Ethers is leaving. I'd keep Jerome for 6 months to see if he can fit in the system and be a decent player for us, if not we can easily swap him for someone in January like we did with Jones

Carl Jenkinson (Arsenal) or Martin Kelly (Liverpool) on a season long loan would be perfect.....

Micah Richards, Aleandru Maxim, Domenico Berardi, Mame Biram Diouf.
Could wave goodbye to Kightly, Shotton, Edu, Shea, Walters, Wilko, Palacios, Jerome and Etherington is being released.

It's only been 1 goal since Walters scored!
I'd sign cardiffs goalie with the money from bego (not using all of it obviously)
Lescott free
Assaidi 3m (no more)
Diouf free
Not too extravagant, but realistic and would solidify us at the back and add a few more goals.

Wilfried Bony, doubt Swansea would let him go for anything less than £20m though

No chance of 2 of those coming here..possibly 3 Maxim is one of the hottest prospects in Germany and is wanted by some huge clubs Berardi is co owned by Juve and is going be a quality player. Juve would never sell. Micah Richards wages would be too high I reckon but I'd love him here

You have to say that the following will be at least want to be:
Begovic, Butland, Cameron, Wilkinson, Huth, Shawcross, Wilson, Muneisa, Pieters, Whelan, Nzonzi, Ireland, Adam, Arnautovic, Walters, Odemwingie, Crouch, Assaidi.
Then I reckon we'll go after a winger, a right back and a striker

Working out a way to play Charlie Adam would save us a lot of money for a start.
