Another excellent season has ended for us, and although we narrowly missed out on European football we should all be celebrating a further cementation (word?) of our Premiership past/present/future. The signings of Fabianski, Kyle Naughton, Jack Cork, Monetro and Gomis all really impressed by seasons end, not a sentiment I (and many) thought at the beginning.
Monk and his team have a realy excellent eye for a player and with a few careful acquisitions this offseason I am very confident we can/will do well in 2015/2016.
What we need:
(1) keep what we have, very little trimming needs to be done to the squad Monk inherited one year on. Personally I’d like to see Tremmel and a few of the less impressive youngster leave.
(2) bring in a good young left-back to compete with Taylor
(3) bring in another young winger, ideally a cheap developmental project
(4) bring in a young striker, either one good enough to start now (e.g. Danny Ings) or a developmental project
(5) bring in a younger, more promising, back up goalkeeper, ideally from one of the big clubs squads as they are often talented enough but painfully short of chances to impress
None of this needs to cost a lot of money, instead we can focus on improving the squad and giving Garry his kind of players…..as a long shot I’d also like to see Michu get another chance (come on Garry, give the kid a go he’s a maverick, i’m sure he didn’t mean whatever he said/did, we all deserve second/third/fourth chances don’t we?)
