I very much doubt that the funds will be available for the mass overhaul that we so desperately need.
Lets face it we need strength in every area of the pitch. Fabs is great, but picked up too man injuries this season. I would like to see us sign a young, talented keeper who can challenge Fabs for the starting position.
I feel we need a new right back, and at least one center half. Someone for the left wing and a box to box midfielder.
We also need 2 new strikers as far as I am concerned.
As mentioned elsewhere I think you may be right as it seems certain financial issues are coming to light.
Full backs in the English game tend to be overpriced, Norwich full backs Jamal Lewis and Max Aarons would probably go for about 40 - 50 million the pair.
So let´s look at some options from the European leagues...
Kostas Tsimikas
24 year old
Club: Olympiacos
Left back
The defence needs to be the focal point in the next transfer window. We need 3 signings there, a left back, right back and a centre back.
The midfield is more solid after Soucek´s arrival but another proper midfielder is needed for depth to cover for Soucek and Rice.
We need to keep Rice at all costs! We are not a selling club no more! That´s what they said before we moved to the OS so they need to stick to their word! Build the team around him and make him the permanent captain.
The attack and wings are solid, I would give Anderson and Haller another season to prove their worth with a better defence behind them. We would lose alot of money selling them now after a pretty poor season for them.
But it is obvious we need more depth in the striker department. Signing a proper second striker is needed badly, I would also recall Hugill as the third striker. He has scored 15 goals this season in the championship and deserves a chance.
Sell Snodgrass, Balbuena, Masuaku, Ajeti, Lanzini and possibly Fredericks if Johnson is capable of being the back up right back.
We are stuck with Wilshere, no one will take his wages so we will have to live in the hope he can get and more importantly stay fit until his contract runs out !
Noble needs to be told he is a back up player, he would understand that I´m sure.
Lanzini would obviously need to be replaced by a pacey technical attacking midfielder.
We need to keep Rice at all costs! We are not a selling club no more! That´s what they said before we moved to the OS so they need to stick to their word! Build the team around him and make him the permanent captain.
Every club at our level is a selling club. Quality players, and Rice is a quality player, want to be challenging for titles and playing in Europe.

Then get us into Europe! I hear Moyes favours Lepzig well they are in Europe.
With the right signings and Rice we can achieve that in the coming years.
If it fails he can leave when he is 25 or 26. He has alot of time he is only 21
Well I guess any club could get into Europe with the right signings. Two problems though. Providing the money to sign the right qualkity players and then persuading them to come to a club, like a lot of others, seen as just making up the numbers.
