We've got attacking options aplenty now, with Sturridge, Origi, Ings, Mane, Firmino, Coutinho, Lallana, Ojo and Markovich (that is ALOT of depth for no European football). I believe Ibe and Benteke will be sold/loaned.

Need to shore up the midfield and defense. Can, Milner, and Hendo need some backup, are we assuming Grujic is going to step right in?

Sakho, Lovren, Gomez and Matip need cover, as Skaho could be out and Gomez returning from injury.

Clyne is a rock for us, but we need viable competition for Moreno and Flanagan, and someone who can cover both sides.

I agree... CM, CB and a LB...

De Sciglio from Milan is intriguing (recently linked)... A few years ago all the talk in Milan was that he was the second coming of Maldini.. Injuries have hurt him the past few seasons..

Though he is naturally right footed, he has played a good bit on the left... He could be competition on the left and cover fr the right... Or maybe just stay away given has injury history..

Should be our permanent future at LB. The kid just had IT last season before his injury. I would take him over Moreno a million times over. I love Moreno, but he is like the token white guy that tries to hang with the AA crowd.

My only two wishes for this window is a big name CB, and a midfielder who can be physically dominant and pass effectively. I like Can at DM for the foreseeable future, but Milner won't last forever and Hendo (as much as I love the guy) struggles with passing.
