So what do you guys rank, in order, of our needs this summer. Obviously they are many. My initial thought would be...

It's almost impossible to speculate defensively without knowing if Conte is committed to playing a 3-5-2 or if he'll be conservative and go 4-3-3. If he's running a 3-5-2, we'd need two CBs. We might need a LB either way, but I think Baba would be a lot better as a LWB.

Midfield I agree we need a dynamic box-to-box guy. I'd also like a true deep lying playmaker.


ETA: Terry seems to be surely gone. Mikel will probably be gone. Courtois, Oscar and Costa could be gone. Seems Hazard is staying put. Squad will definitely need about 6 or 7 new players. I think Traore/RLC/one of the loan guys might fill a couple of those. That means you're going to need to probably buy a couple midfielders, at least one defender (maybe two) and a striker.
