The way I see it, a minimum is:
1x Goalkeeper 1x Centre Back 2x Full back 1x Centre midfield 1x Left winger 1x Sidibe style striker
That's an absolute minimum. As it happens, I reckon one of the first players we'll sign will be Fulop, which would do for a goalkeeper. We would actually do well to plunder a goalkeeper from any one of the teams to be relegated on the last day - Rading have Hahneman, Fulham have Niemi and Birmingham have Taylor. I can also see us going for Crouch and Riise, oddly enough, but they may be a bit out of our range. Pulis was interested in Crouch when he was at Southampton, wasn't he? If Fulham go down, Bullard in centre midfield would be good, and McFadden from Birmingham would also be a good move. What we really need, though, is a big move for a well-known ish established Premiership player.

I know we do, but one who'll score more goals in a season. Mama is absolutely integral to our play, but if we're going to do the same next season, it's going to have to be someone who also has goals in their game.

Tone will sort him out, pre-season training will turn Mama into a machine, mark my words ;D

I recon that Thomas Sorensen and Darren Bent would be good and realistic signings for us.
Sorensen is certain to be on his way out at Villa, but a proven performer at Premiership level, we'd probably get him for free or not much more.
Bent will be the hardest due to how much Spurs paid for him, but hasn't settled there at all this season, he has proved he can score goals for a struggling side in the Prem, which there is a good chance we will be. I recon they would be willing to let go for £5m-£7m. Can't believe I am talking about these sort of transfer fees!! ;D

I wouldn't imagine him to be a pulis type player, past his 'best', a total pain in the arse as a footballer and I'd imagine if he was your neighbour, he would be a bit of a cock as well
