Perfect situation for me this January:
1) Carroll gets an offer to join a Premier League club this January where he will get regular game time.
2) We send Bentaleb to QPR to replace Carroll.
3) Holtby stays and becomes an option in a 3-man midfield.
4) We sell Sigurdsson - I'd like to see him in a 3-man midfield too, but I don't think he's dynamic enough for us and we already have more talented players in need of game time.
6) We sell Defoe.
7) We sell Gomes.
9) We buy defensive cover. For my money, someone like Stefan Radu would make a lot of sense. Primarily a LB (Our weakest position), but also able to play CB, and Romanian so would be good for Vlad.
10) Buy a striker if we are going to play 4-4-2. Alternatively, don't bother and play 4-3-3, which would suit us anyway.
This team should be built around a spine of Lloris, Vertonghen, Sandro, Eriksen and Lamela. They are our world class/potentially world class players.
I'm catching up with posts, just got to this one. What happened to number 8?
