I hope we buy players who will strengthen our most effecitev formation under Poch: 3-4-2-1.
1. Sissoko has no obvious place in our squad, as either first choice or backup.
2. We have no back up for Rose if we play a wing back system.
3. We need better back up for Kane.
4. We need more pace in the attacking three positions.
Solutions:
1. Sell him and use the funds to contribute to solving the other problems.
2. Buy a new LWB - I would be happy with Luke Shaw as Poch will get a lot out of him. If we compete on 4 fronts next season there will be game time for both him and Rose. This position is so important to the way we play we need proper competition not just back up. Shaw is still only 21, clearly out of favour at Man U, and has lots to offer including pace and power.
3. Personally I would cut my losses on Jannsen and buy a replacement. I do not think he has enough attributes to suit the way we play. I'd also question our scouting given his lack of any pace and over reliance on one foot.
4. Depending on the players available in the summer, we could use money from Sissoko and Jannsen sales to put towards a new forward. One who is pacey and can play as a lone striker or as a support forward. If Lamela leaves for Italy (not suggesting he will), then we could put extra money towards a really top drawer attacker.
Obviously, the players we can attract will depend on CL qualification (which I think will be hard work from here in)
