Personally I think LB, CB are out priorities.
These are needed...
One of Rose/Ekotto to be sacrificed to make room for an upgrade. I'd take Cole on a free, or Davies from Swansea I think we've been linked with, keep the home grown quota up.
One of Kaboul/Dawson to be sacrificed to make room for an upgrade. I'd take Lescott on a free, more about him than Dawson, more reliable in terms of availability than Kaboul. Home grown too.
Then these are not necessities, but more upgrades if others are sold.
LW, Konoplyanka we have been linked with. if we clear out Sigurdsson and/or Lennon. Decent fee set into his contract.
CF, if Ade does indeed go to Monaco as has been suggested, I'd like to see a Lukaku/Bony type CF, links have been there, but not certain how solid. Rumours Morata is being chased and
Batshuayi too.

I think that's all we need to do, minimal changes. Rest of the players I feel we already have, and some will be better for a second season.
Incidentally I don't buy the Sandro story.

20 buckeroos as per my signature pledge sent this morning. That should cover the cost of a cheese hedgehog at @Rob's wedding next month!

Get them 3 done for around £45m and sit back, no need for wholesale changes and them 3 are in positions that are a priority, not like last year when we bought people just for the sake of it

I feel like JJ would make that statement in regards to Lukaku. Thinking of Lukaku just barreling through defenses and Eriksen filling the void/path of destruction left by Lukaku sounds great in theory.

Like a tag team of the roman reigns and fandango!

45m seems like a bit much for those three. I do agree that CB, LB and ST are priorities and those are good options.

Lolz. From that magic £45m we have.
