Have we got enough

Obviously with a month to go before the season begins this is hypothetical  but how would we fare next season with our current squad?

Northern Cottager

I think we need a new winger or two. If Dejagah goes and Kaca is unpredictable we may struggle on the wings. I may be forgetting someone though?

Forwards and keepers we seem to be catered for now. But midfield and defence is still iffy.
The above IS NOT A LEGAL DOCUMENT. It is an opinion.

We may yet hear the horse talk.

I can stand my own despair but not others hope

CM is the main issue for me. The rest of the positions seem fine. Still looking for that playmaker

Same for me. We can make do elsewhere, but (as most have been saying for a long time) not replacing the creativity of Murphy has been a massive factor in our downfall.

Henri Lansbury should be top of Ali Mac's list.

I think the Championship is Kaca's level tbh, so he should do reasonably well for us next year.  Will need to look to replace him though.  CM is where it's at, we need someone who isn't 30+ or under 21.

Seal the deal for the Greek LB and bring in a classy CM and I would say that is just about enough to keep us ticking over until January.

Any news on Kasami? he keeps posting pictures from beaches somewhere, is he with Fulham practising or is he still in greece talking with Olympiakos? :P I hope he stays cus he could be vital for us in Championship!

That sounds perfect!

Agree about Lansbury. Just the player we are looking for.

Kasami and the other World Cup players are not due back yet, interesting to see who doesn't turn up at Motspur Park.
Never ever bloody anything ever.

We happy with central defence?

Yea, good point. Amore, Burn and Hutchinson...probably need another 1-2.

Delboy

George Williams will break through this year, been impressed by him every time I've seen him. Quick, direct and willing to take defenders on.

Zu-Meister

Our defence situation will be sorted with one new addition at left back
: New LB, Amorebieta, Burn, Hutchinson, Hoogland, Voser, Zverotic, Grimmer.

Midfield is where we need to concentrate now, Parker and Tunnicliffe is not enough.

Wingers, there were rumours of richardson and dejagah off. If so we will need to strengthen.
: Dejagah, Richardson.      Roberts, George Williams, Ryan Williams, Kacaniklic.

Strikers we have plenty: Mitroglou, Ruiz, Taggart, Mccormack, Rodallega, Woodrow, and Dembele.

I'm pretty sure we will be playing Magaths speciality 4-4-2. One holding mid, one attacking.


Craven Mad

My complete wish list: Harry Maguire, Chalobah, Lansbury, and that Greek LB.

That would be the team done, IMO. The only possible addition we may need after that would be a backup keeper (if Joronen or Betinelli go on loan).

I think David and Parker will be enough in central midfield.... Tunnicliffe, Kasami and LVC as cover.

Although in truth I would have Tunnicliffe and David

David cant play as a centre mid in a two man midfield. Either in a three man midfield, or out wide, or second striker.

You're right, but I think it's likely we'll see a diamond four-man midfield (like Chelsea under first-tenure Mourinho; Makalele in CDM, Lamps in CAM). We'd have Tunni at CDM and David at CAM.

Something like:

                  Stock
  Hoog - Hutch -  Burn - Amore
                  Tunni
Roberts           -             Williams
                  David
           Ross    -   Cauley

Deanothefulhamfan

Someone mentioned that he can play in a 2 man midfield but in a more advanced role, which will of course not be a problem if he has a parker or preferaby tunnicliffe playing alongside him.

I like Craven's team but I would prefer Dejegah and Richardson on the wings
