Top players we need to build our squad around
Reina, Agger, Skrtel, Enrique, Johnson, Lucas, Gerrard, Suarez, Bellamy
Promising young players who are good enough as squad players now and hopefully will become key players between 1-3 years
Coates, Kelly, Henderson, Shelvey, Carroll
Squad players who we may look to upgrade
Spearing, Adam, Downing, Kuyt, Maxi, Carra
I think having only 2 senior CM who we can rely on for quality performances and one of them being injury prone is a worry. But we also have 2 promising young players there, hopefully we can add some experienced quality in that area.
Then there are only two senior attacking players and one also injury prone, only one young talent in that department and most of our other players are squad players. We need to add no less than two to attacking players.
Someone mention the Giroud, I also feel we may be able to tempt Soldado even without CL, then would like to see use get and attacking player who is comfortable on the right, pacy and a good dribbler. I can't think of many quality players in this mold we'd be able to get atm, but that's what the scouts are there for. There are also some interesting talent in the prem I wouldn't mind us going after, Hoilett, Dembele, Joe Allen but these would be an after thought when the important deals have been done.
I saw someone post that we would only get 5M for Adam, I feel he and Enrique are the two players who would get us the most money in regards to our summer signings. I think lots of mid-table teams would spend upwards of 10M for Adam despite hims shortcomings, I don't see us selling him though more likely Spearing atm.
