tricky974 61 Posted May 18, 2015 We would have RVW back which may or may not be a good thing but looking at our squad would it cope with the Premier league Johnson would not be scoring for fun and Jerome could not bully defenders in the same way he has been, who and what do we need I ask because I normally the guys on here have some good ideas do we look at the teams gone down or the teams that failed to gain promotion??

Horse Renoir 1 Posted May 18, 2015 I''m not sure who specifically but we need a right back, a smart, organising centre back, a versatile attacking midfelder and a hard working forward who''s very good on the ball and can really affect a game, link up play and carry the ball for our other striker to play offThe defence (as actual defenders) is the only area that worries me though. Even though we played extremely defensively last time we still struggled to keep the ball out of our net Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeiranShikari_2 0 Posted May 18, 2015 A new CB and some competition for Tettey in the DM role would be my highest priority if we win next week.Then it would all be about trimming the squad and replacing some fringe players with younger/better guys that fit AN''s game better.Certainly nicer to think about this than what will happen if we don''t win.

BroadstairsR 2,093 Posted May 18, 2015 A quality centre back.A quality wide-man.I propose we stick with the rest, even Voo whose Carrow Road career has been, for various reasons, disappointing to say the least.One or two seem destined for an exit with the most prominent being Garrido, who I feel has been unlucky. Turner could be on his bike as well as AN clearly doesn''t fancy him. Hooper often has an air of disgruntlement, but I would want him to remain and I suppose there will be the anuual pruning of the youngsters.One thing for sure is that we would not , initially, need the level of expenditure as in the past, especially when Hughton had to virtually purchase a new defense.Go with what we have, basically, and adress weaknesses in the winter.

ZLF 261 Posted May 18, 2015 We will need better quality across the whole pitch - many of the current starters are good squad players a level up but simply lack the quality, strength and pace needed for the prem; in particular the centre backs & strikers will need improving.

Syteanric 1 Posted May 18, 2015 we should always be looking to improve.. no sentiment in football... if we can get a better player tan Johnson, Ruddy, Redmond etc then we should do so and those players will be on the bench.Harsh reality but our aim is to establish not to give jobs to the boys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted May 18, 2015 I''d love it if we tried to sign Gareth Bale.Of course you always need to look to add quality BUT you''ve got to strike the right balance to avoid spoiling the spirit in the camp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rich T The Biscuit 562 Posted May 18, 2015 RB, a dominant centre half, a ball playing centre half, a big centre mid powerhouse, another wide man, another Wes type and a tall powerful centre forward.That should do nicely.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rich T The Biscuit 562 Posted May 18, 2015 And if we don''t go up, cheaper versions of those are still needed!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Highland Canary 76 Posted May 18, 2015 Four players. Right back, right centre back, a number 10 and a centre forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwindonCanary 455 Posted May 18, 2015 We need another Centre Back in the mould of Duncan Forbes or Malky Mackay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Molly Windley 76 Posted May 18, 2015 So, before the eleven players pull on the jersey and go out to give it their all on Monday, we are deciding which ones we want to keep and which we want to let go if they win.Nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It looks like Alex Neil has learned what true s--- he is, so that won''t be an issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course everyone appreciates the job they''re doing this year but it would be negligent to the extreme to stick with this team solely next year if we go up!
