If You Could Upgrade Just 3 Positions This Summer....

Too many and too many possibilities like will Tuchel stay as regards owner changes.

If he stays we need a striker that can compete with Havertz, Broja is a good finisher though less sure if he can lead the line on his own.

Kante is slowly going downhill so we will need another mobile midfielder and that might be Gallager.

We will need at least 1 centre back.

Chilwell may not fully recover and I would like wide backs that can cross like Alexander-Arnold at Liverpool we don't seem to have that. 

Of course the above presumes we want to challenge for the league.

Too many to choose...

Another Centre back, LWB, defensive mid,

mobile midfielder, out and out winger and a striker/poacher.

Kounde/De Ligt - replacing Christensen

Theo Hernandez or Guerrero (Dortmund)

Rice/Tchoumeni - replacing Jorginho

Bellingham or someone like Olmo at leipzig

Gallagher - fight it out with Kante

Dembele/Moussa Diaby (Leverkusen)

Harland/Osimhen

 
Jorginho

Werner

Lukaku.

Offer Tottenham a buy one get two free deal. And if they are still unsure throw in Hudson-Odoi.

Defense can sort itself next season, i'd like Mount, Gallagher, Kova or AN other in midfield, Werner, Broja, HavZ up top 4-3-3

 
LB - Cover / competition for Chilwell. Alonso has mostly been woeful this season.

CM - A powerful creative midfielder who can play box to box. Jorginho needs to go.

ST - We need a physical & agile striker with the ability to bring others into the game, aswell as consistently scoring goals and drive fear into opposition defenders. Haaland would be ideal but we all know he's pretty sort after as it is.

I’m actually against signing a striker now. Havertz is making the position his own and I’m happy to have Broja as back up striker.

If we sell Lukaku for a decent fee (around 40M if that’s possible) we should spend it else where, if we want a big signing, Declan Rice would be perfect.

 
Out of contract this summer: Christensen, Rudiger, Saul Niguez (loan), Drinkwater

Out of contract in 2023: Kante, Jorginho, Silva, Alonso, Azpi, Gilmour, Barkley

Good to keep this in mind this summer. There is a lot of major decisions to be taken and most of all we simply need to do some forward planning here. Christensen and probably Rudiger obviously needs to be replaced but you'd also want to bring in an understudy or even replacements for Silva who's likely only got a year left himself. Then we have major midfield decisions to be made with Jorginho, Kante and Gilmour all running out of contract.

 
1) New elite CB

2) Replacement for Jorgi - a proper DM

3) a proper creative CM

That way we can play a back 4, and have a lot of options on the middle that doesn't rely on Kante as a creator. 

A new Striker is risky. Personally prefer us to play to the strengths of those attackers we already have.

I'm happy with Gallagher for your 3rd role and I'd want a new attacking wide player instead who can score goals. I'm just not happy with pulisic Werner or ziyech.

 
3 upgrades?

New Central midfielder - Gallagher

New Center forward/wide forward option - Broja

New center back who can play in 2 or 3 or at Left back - Colwill

Those are the most important 3 to me.

 
Lukaku has to be replaced, just doesn't look at all interested when he gets a chance. Just to add Werner isn't the best either but at least he tries.

Bring Gallagher and Billy back, still in my mind made a bollix of it letting Tomori go.

I honestly don't really follow other leagues so I've no idea who to bring in, but recent times have shown me our own academy lads are well worth a shout.

We’ll need 1 CB for sure as Christensen and possibly Rudi and Azpi will be leaving.

We need a wingback if we keep with the 5 at the back, as we will only have James and Chilwell.

We need a reliable winger. Puli, CHO, Ziyech are way too inconsistent.

We will be alright up front as we’ve got Havertz and Broja coming back, and I don’t see Lukaku leaving.

Our squad could look very much different at the start of the next season, without Dave, Christensen, Rudiger, Jorginho, Kante, Werner, Pulisic, Lukaku... I expect at least 3-5 new players, already know one of them is Gallagher.

Hard to say who would I upgrade but some inside-forward/winger would be nice to accompany Havertz and Mount in attack and a new DM after Jorginho and Kante leave would be nice as well but then if we keep playing the back 3 we need an upgrade on Christensen/Rudiger I mean T.Silva can't play alone he's already pushing the boundaries of how long a CB in the PL can play.
