What if A Cole doesn't WANT to sign? I would definitely keep A Cole if he wanted to stay and sign a contract but as I am sure you know, we are only offering 1 year contract's to players over 30. If he doesn't want to sign that then he will go. You need to accept that.

Baines, 27, over 320 games, very similar to Cole, I doubt he would demand the same wage as A Cole (financial sense) so I can't see a reason why we shouldn't go in for him in January. He would be able to play in europe.

Huntelaar, could cost something like £6/7 Million, if he was to score goals, even if they are just in the prem, if we was to win the prem (with his goals) we would get at least £16 Million (2009/2010 figures) 15 million for second, 14million for third and 13 million for fourth. (Financial sence).

You have inside knowledge then? Or your stupid enough to believe everything you believe you read in the papers. Financial sense isn't letting a superior player go and buying another for 15M. Its not financial sense paying 15M for Baines when we have Bertrand, Even if Cole goes, we don't need Baines. Thats sense. Also sir, Cole will be here in January, why the hell would we buy him then?How many games will Huntelaar play if we get him in January? Under 15, thats if here we to play every game in the league as well. Which I doubt he will and where does that leave Sturridge? That means huntelaar costs us around 600,000 per game this season, without factoring in wages, which your seriously under-estimating if you think it's 50-60K, he'd laugh at us if we offered that. Bosingwa was on more than that, as was Kalou. He won't want less than 75-80Kp/w. Most players at 29 want one last healthy pay-day. Why else Leave Shalke? You think Huntelaar is the answer to us winning the league? What do you plan to do with Falcao for the rest of the year? Play him only in Europe? 10-15M per game in Europe, without factoring in wages? Yes, makes so much sense...

We will need another striker, especially if Danny leaves, but not until the summer imo.

@ Zeta- Theres moses as well. Plus Mata will be playing there still, with Oscar at AM. Very strong line-up.Could strengthen the back down the line When Terry retires or if Luiz doesn't step up and take that step needed.

Ideally we dont need a huge amount of further investment in the squad after whats been spent in recent times.. I would say adding Falcao and Fellaini to the current squad along side some additions from the academy. If we are unable to bring through at least 3 or 4 players in the next 2-3 yrs we may as well close the academy.

GK: Cech, Courtois, Blackman

Def: Azpilicueta, Wallace, Kane, Bertrand, JT, Cahill, Luiz, Ake, Kalas

Mid: Ramires, Fellaini, Josh, De Bruyne, Oscar, Chalobah, Hazard, Mata, Moses, Piazon

For: Falcao, Lukaku, Feruz, Bamford.

 
In: Falcao and Jovetic, Out: Torres; Forwards: Falcao, Jovetic, Lukaku, Sturridge. Falcao - simply the best, Jovetic - allround, Lukaku - target man, Sturridge - pacey.

+ Fellaini or some other good quality DM and maybe a world class CB, but would rather give a proper chance to Kalas and other youngsters first if they deserve.

 
Cech

Dave Cahill Hummels Cole

Fellaini Oscar Ramires

Mata Falcao Hazard

Roman, please :(

 
I know we have quite a lot of midfielders already but I wouldn't mind fernandinho from shaktar! I thought he stood out more than willian did and can play the ball out from deep

 
Pretty sure that Huntelaar is cup-tied and therefore not the best option at the time, maybe in the Summer?

 
I don't understand why people think Leighton Baines is a good fit. He turns 28 in December. Given our policy regarding players over 30, what are we going to do - sign him to a 2 year contract? He's a great player and worthy to be Cole's successor based on talent, but he's just too old.

My ideal squad in 2-3 years time would be the following:

GK: Cech, Courtois,

LB: Bertrand, PVA

CB: Cahill, Terry

CB: Ivanovic, Kalas,

RB: Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, Kalas

DM: Romeu, Chalobah

CM: Ramires, McEachran

CM: Oscar, Be Bruyne

LW: Hazard, Marin

RW: Sturridge, ???

AM: Mata, Piazon

ST: Falcao, Huntelaar, Sturridge

I'm not sure what other RW we could bring in, but I think a squad like that, if set up correctly should be capable of challenging for everything.

Moses?

 
That's hell of a 'realistic' list, more like a complete make over. Realistically, I don't see anything major occurs, unless are we lying in 5th spot again.

Even then we'd probably just buy a striker and a DM.

 
Have to say, when I saw the word 'Realistic' in the title I was not quite expecting a post like that.

Baines? We already have Bertrand and PvA

Forster? We already have Cech and Courtois

Hummels? We have Terry, Cahill, Luiz, Ivanovic and when Terry retires, we will have Chalobah

The others range from nice to haves, to dream signings that are incredibly unlikely to ever happen (Neymar) - honestly if we got even two of those players I'd be surprised.

 
Chalobah seems to be more of a midfielder nowadays. I think Kalas is probably the most promising of your young defenders. He's doing really well at Vitesse and can play CB or RB, like Ivan. There's also Bruma don't forget, though I don't rate him that much really. I think Huth was better at that age.

 
I think Bruma will be sold or let go in the summer.

 
With the lack of youth to come through in the past decade I'm not too sure that many will change that now.

Ryan is the one that stands out but other than that who else has broke through when we usually just buy in a ready made international player?
