If I was Malky (Signings)**

In my opinion I believe we just need 5 or 6 good players in key areas, these areas are:

LB
CB

CM
CM

Winger
ST

The players that would be top of my list are;

Emmanuel Izaguirre - Celtic
Leon Barnett - Norwich

Tom Huddleston - Spurs
Jonathan Williams - Crystal Palace

Tom Ince(Blackpool) OR Bolasie(Palace)
Kenwyn Jones (Stoke)

Replace Jones with Finnbogason and I'd completely agree with that list.

Funny how people's views differ but my first target would be a position you haven't mentioned.

I think we badly need a right back.

I would also hope for a goalkeeper.

Replace Jones with Finnbogason and I'd completely agree with that list.

I don't know enough about finnbogason to be honest so that's why he isn't in my list, but I do believe signing a player like him, with little if not none premier league or top level experience would be a huge risk, one atm we can't really take. I believe jones is the complete fit for what we need, that's why he makes my list

As for the right back debate, I'd agree we may need to strengthen there but I feel LB is more the priority tbh

And I think Marshall is 100% capable of cutting it in the prem, he deserves his chance anyway

This would be my starting 11 to play the first game in the prem(realistically);

-MARSHALL

CONNOLLY
HUDSON
BARNETT
IZAGUIRRE

HUDDLESTONE
KIM
MUTCH

WILLIAMS
JONES
INCE

I 100% believe this team would keep us up, and I don't believe it would exceed 25 - 30 million either

Estimate prices for each player;

Izaguirre - 5 million
Barnett - 500k

Huddlestone - 4 million
Williams - 8 million

Ince - 6 million
Jones - 3 million

This equals £26.5 million, hardly breaking the bank ey

That defence is a poor premier league defence won't be good enough to keep us up imo

We may have to look into the international market, which is highly competitive such as the Dutch League and German Bundesliga due to some players being overpriced in the home market. But we must avoid the smalled European leagues such as Slovenia and Slovakia (the signings of Kiss and Etien) have showed these leagues are not competitive enough. For me the likes of Henriksen, Gudmundsson and Finnbogason could be ideal.

Ask Tan to chip in for Bale

Didn't realise how lethal Finnbogason has been until I checked wiki, think he'd be a great buy if he could adapt to the Premier League unlike Assaidi, Afonso Alves etc...

Izaguirre, now there's a player! He'd provide excellent competition for Taylor. Sign him up Malky!

It's essential we bring in:
RB, CB, CB, CM, RW, LW, CF. We also need a goal scorer.
Nicky Maynard hasn't proved himself, Fraizer Campbell may be fine but he's unlucky with injuries. Joe Mason is a good player but he need's to improve his strength. I'd put Rudy Gestede on a season long loan at a lower championship team to improve his game.

Put the vast majority of wedge on buying Bolasie.

Rb= Phil Neville
Cb= Rob Huth

Cm= Huddlestone
RM= Phillips

St= John Walters

Can't be any more than £25m!

Marsh
Nev
Huds
Huth
Tayls

Bellers
Mutch
Gunnar
Kimbo
Phillips

Walters

I think thats strong. Walters often differs every game, Campbell and him rotate and we can easily achieve up to 14th!

BELIEVE!

Wont get Huddlestone. He changed the game for Tottenham yesterday. Ran the midfield, i think he'll be getting a look in next year. Not a bad list otherwise!

Izaguirre, now there's a player! He'd provide excellent competition for Taylor. Sign him up Malky!

Shows you can't judge player! Puts the odd 7/10 performance in a Scottish Pub League

No, he's a good player regardless of him playing in the SPL.
