Looking onwards to the summer I've been thinking about what it will take to get us back to the top five and this is what I've come up with.
Out:
Distin: free
Alcaraz: free
Mirallas: 12-15 mil
Oviedo: 4-6 mil
Mcgeady: 2-4 mil (newly promoted team might want him?)
Hibbert: hopefully signs on as a coach
Ins
Ings: free
Deulefeu: 8-10 mil (most important player here imo)
Lennon: 6 mil
Sergi Roberto: season loan from barca (creative cm, different from our current options)
Henen: 0.2 mil
Ashley Williams: 8 mil (maybe offer Barry to sweeten deal?)
One other attacker like ayew on a free, if Barry leaves then rio mavuba from Lille on free too.
If barca won't sell Gerry cause of transfer ban which I think is stupid cause they won't use him and have plenty of other players, bojan at stoke looked real good right before his injury or Jesé Rodriguez who is losing playing time at Real Madrid. Each could be worth around 8-10 mil.
This projection gives us a 6 mil budget before sales so this is at the very least realistic. Love to hear what you all think.

good idea but real would want about 25 mil for jese and ings will cost money becuase under the age of 24. so he will cost around 6 mil

There is no way Williams would leave Swansea for us. No way Swansea would sell their captain for 8 million and Barry would only sour the deal.
Ings will go to a club higher up the league than us.
We probably have the best summer budget for 10 years this summer but because we have had a shocker this season it might as well be the summer that we sold Arteta and gained Drenthe and Straquilersi.
Ditch Martinez. Get klopp . happy days

in our dreams we would get klopp hahah he going to city

Klopp would have been a perfect fit but RM is going nowhere!
{Ed025's Note - we are more likely to get his brother wakka...klippety.. :)

Bretto i'd settle for just replacing Martinez right now.

Why sell oviedo for what we paid for him? Ings would cost about 2m, williams is old, mavubas the same age as barry so we haven't improved age wise. i'm just going to say thank god you're not in charge
