Who do you want your club to go after this summer? What needs should be addressed in the transfer window? (And let's try to keep it realistic, please.)

(I'll update with my players and reasoning.)

1. Central Midfield: Marouane Fellaini (Everton), Thiago (Barcelona), Yohan Cabaye (Newcastle United), Victor Wanyama (Celtic), Nemanja Matic (Benfica)

2. Left (and Right) Back: Leighton Baines (Everton)

3. Central Midfield (again)

4. Left (and Right) Winger: Jackson Martinez (Porto), Erik Lamela (Roma), Andre Ayew (Marseille), Bruma (Sporting Lisbon), Adel Taraabt (QPR)

5. Goalkeeper: Asmir Begovic (Stoke City)

6. Center Back: Angelo Ogbonna (Torino), Ezequiel Garay (Benfica)








97. Falcao

I think TFTC has the official LFC thread wish list. I'll wait for him.

Isco and a real striker. But I'm not going to hold my breath.

But if United does sell Rooney to PSG, I don't believe they will, the answer has to be Falcao with Robert Lewandowski coming in second.

Im hearing stuff on twitter that Eriksen deal may be dead... I would add names, but they seem to die as soon as I mention them...

AMF
DM
CB (maybe 2, hope carra may stay one more year)
LB
Wide FW

edit: I hope the CB and DM are more experienced players

1. Any striker with a pulse not named Torres (Falcao preferable )
2. Any DM that belongs in the premier league

Fulham desperately need someone to replace the departed Danny Murphy. There isn't currently anyone in the squad with his vision, ability to read the game, and direct the attack. Even the old Danny Murphy at half of a match could have done work with Berba.

The lack of this CAM has forced Berba too far down the pitch.

For Arsenal we need a striker, DM, CB and GK, probably in that order.

ST - Jovetic, Villa, Falcao or Cavani (you said wish list!), Dzeko or Suarez if those clubs are dumb enough to sell (ok that probably goes way beyond wishing ), maybe Wilfried Bony

DM - I honestly have no clue. Would love to steal Luis Gustavo from Bayern but that's unlikely it seems. Not really a huge fan of other names we've been linked with.

CB - Also not sure who I want here. Angelo Ogbanna and Aleksandar Dragovic are recent names we've been linked with. We were linked with Höwedes, but he just extended with Schalke.

GK - probably going to be Valdes

Ogbanna

He's a really good defender. Would be a great buy.

If we got Jovetic and Ogbanna and a halfway decent DM I would be ecstatic.

I'd rather get rid of all the dead weight at the club first before we buy anyone. We need an attacking player of real quality, whether it be a winger or a striker, though. We will see who we go after. I'm comfortable with the D as long as TV5 is comfortable being the back up.

I'm skeptical we'll get any of them. Also I'm fine with keeping Ramsey at DM.

Strikers are the last thing United need.

Chelsea need a striker obviously (Falcao/Cavani)

We need a wide player who can take people on with pace and whip in crosses (What Moses shows glimpses of but not nearly consistent enough)

As previously mentioned we need a defensive mid. Right now we are trying to play Lamps there but it's not natural. I think Ramires can do a good job there if paired with the right person and Mikel is just not good enough for Chelsea imo. I don't really know any specific names but somebody. I would kill to have a player like Yaya Toure on our team. What is the deal with Yann M'Vila? I know Arsenal were interested last summer but just saw he is now in Russia. Is he still a top rated CDM player or what?

When Chelsea were at their best from say 2004-2010 a lot of that was from having Makalele and then Essien back there bossing games all over the field. Since Essien's injuries slowed him down significanly we haven't been able to replace that dominating presence in the middle of the field and it, along with our striker issues, have been the reason for the consistency struggles the last two seasons.

false, SAF requires 4 class strikers. he's always been that way.

But Randy Savage from the internet is certainly more qualified than SAF.
