Already we are starting to think about the summer, and the shopping list seems to be fairly consistent; more pace and power on the wings, a striker capable of scoring around 20 goals in a season, a proper all rounder at rb and a long term whelan upgrade.
So I thought why not work out the absolute best case scenario and then figure out how close we could realistically get to it? So here goes.
Victor Moses signs a permanent deal having enjoyed himself here on loan - £7m
Saido berahinho spends the rest of the season on the wing and the big boys lose interest, but pulis convinces WBA to sell him to release funds anyway - £12m
Yarmalenko finally works out a move to England - £9m
Burnley get relegated and are forced to sell trippier - £7m
Wollscheid converts to permanent - £3m
Barcelona continue to look after us with sergi roberto - loan with a view to permanent
We have to sell bego to finance this, but we get a good deal - £16m
We also get good offers for Adam and Cameron and accept - £4m and £3m
Net spend £15m leaving us with a team of:
Butland
Trippier. Shawcross wollscheid muniesa
Roberto. N'zonzi
Yarmalenko. bojan Moses
Berahinho
Subs Soro, pieters, Beardsley, whelan, Annie, Walters, odemwingie
Obviously we'd have to be incredibly lucky for all of that to drop, but there is real potential this summer

Dream, dream, dream transfer window would be:
Moses permanently plus another wing option on loan (Traore?)
New main striker (Ujah? Austin?)
Whelan upgrade (Badu? Cattermole? George Thorne?)
Maybe a right back (Trippier perhaps though defensively he worries me a bit)
New contracts for Begovic and Nzonzi.

Slightly more realistic but I'd be equally happy with
GK Bego
RB Trippier LB Eric CB Ryan CB Munni
DM NZonzi DM Fer
LW Moses (Perm) RW Traore (Barca loan with option to buy) AM Bojan
CF Diouf (With the right supply he'll get 20 goals)

Patrick Bamford would be my first and top priority target.

Surprised people are writing Pieters off and have Muniesa at left back when he's worlds better at centre half.
Begovic New RB Shawcross Muniesa Pieters New DM Nzonzi Moses Bojan Arnie New CF

Nzonzi re-signs. Sorensen re-signs
Ins: Roberto - £6m Moses - £5m Traore - Loan Wollscheid - £2m Trippier - £3m
Maybe: Spend £3m on a back up keeper or Spend £10m on Austin/Yarmolenko
Out: Begovic - £12m Adam - £4m Cameron - £3m
Team: -------------- Butland ----------------- Trippier - Shawcross - Muniesa - Pieters -------- Roberto ----- Nzonzi ---------- ---- Arnie ---- Bojan --------- Moses -- --------------- Diouf ------------------
Subs: Sorensen, Wollscheid, Bardsley, Sidwell, Ireland, Traore, Crouch
If im coming to the crunch id say we 'need'. Moses to sign, CM, RW (left footed), CF.
CM - Roberto, Fer RW - Yarmolenko, Ince, Redmond CF - Austin, Bamford

We need a right back, and we want to prod Barcelona again so why not try for Montoya?. Hardly gets a game there and is good mates with Bojan and Muni.

Moses for 5mil , and its already been said that Woll will cost 4mil. Dismissing out of hand the Percy report that a £5m fee was being discussed then?

5M is a great price and a steal in all honesty. We have to get it done at that price.

Apparently as well as Traore being promoted to the Barcelona full squad, so is Sergi Samper.
This affects us how you ask?
Samper is a central midfielder, one the Barcelona fans I follow on Twatter/chat to think is better than Roberto.
Will it make Roberto available? I have no idea but he's definitely a ready made replacement if they so do choose.

Im going go for. Moses. £5mil. Fer £7 mil. Roberto for £5mil. But my two main men wud be yilmaz from Gala. And the lad kramer from Gladbach. Id spunk my pants with these two.
Im guessing there are going be a few going out. Think we might lose both bego and nzonzi. Plus Adam.
