Morning ED, come this summer where would you expect us to strengthen by priority regarding the first team?

{Ed007's Note - GK and defence.}

Does that come at the expense of signing Paddy or edouard?

Any other areas strengthened would be a bonus, they two are an absolute must.

Why should it come at the expense of two young players who will make us money? we have £35m in the bank, we get another load of the folding stuff if we qualify. Having good players helps that. We need a defence and a keeper plus those two. We have to invest, anybody who watched us on Sunday knows that. Bain could be a shout, but defenders are required. Getting those two for an additional £14m is a no brainer, we will get that on each of them in a couple of seasons.

Its not an either or, its a must.

Regardless of what is or isn’t in the bank can we expect to see the sanction of £5-7mill for Paddy and £7-9 mill for edouard? I’m basing these figures on the values I’ve heard on this site. I doubt we’ll see £15mill spent this summer.

I agree a CH / GK / RB as areas to prioritise for improvement, but if you were choosing between Paddy/ Ed or a new defence/ keeper who would you take?
I would take Paddy and ed.

I would take new defence. Because we have other players that can play the position of they 2 but going in to euro with that defence again would be a disaster.
We need to chop boyata and Jozo and bring in 2 replacements.

This is the time to strengthen, just when the huns think they're getting close (they're not) we should strengthen our weaknesses and keep them in a fight with the other smaller clubs over our scraps. I'm not naive enough to think we'll win every trophy every year but we shouldn't take our eye off the ball. Europe is our benchmark and although we got European football after Christmas, I think we need to sign better players. Mainly keeper and cb, but if dembele and rogic leave then we at least need to get a striker in. Onwards and upwards hail hail.
