I think pretty much all of our budget should be sloshed on as near as possible top tier striker or up and coming striker if we can't get the top tier one. I'm not even sure that Townsend and Carroll's progress means that we even need to look at the midfield as I think Holtby's long-term is as a deeper lying midfielder. Against Emirates Marketing Project we looked really good in the 4-3-3.

We might buy a new left-back depending on the overall opinion of Rose, the press seem to be linking us to this position a lot and i suppose there is no smoke without fire, but Holtby's performance in a deeper midfield role of late along with Carroll's development seem to have put paid to all the links that kept surfacing to midfield play-makers.
The two main links in the press seem to be to strikers and left-backs and i honestly think we may only buy in those two positions in the summer.

I'm not sure AVB would be interested in a traditional winger. He's still not really resolved the Lennon conundrum.
I like Holtby as a DM, but I think that trio of him, Sandro and Dembele is too defensive/lacking a ballplayer.
I'd like to see any two of those, plus a more creative Moutinho/Clasie type.

Ade? :lol:

Not bad, though I'm not sure any of them move the ball quick enough. Huddlestone's a quarterback rather than a ball recycler if that makes sense, which is more what we need for AVB's system.
I honest don't think with his ankle issues that Huddlestone could do more than 20 games a season.
Last summer it was more QPR and Sunderland IIRC.
I can't see Defoe leaving his social life in London myself. With QPR out of the picture, Jol not being that much of a fan, and his burnt bridges at West Ham, it limits his options a bit. Watford, Palace or Brighton might be options if any of them get up and have funds for the summer.

By no interest in Tom Carroll, does he mean that we don't mind moving him on? Or is there another Tom Carroll?

He said no interest in us signing Andy Carroll or Benteke, didn't mention Tom. Well he did mention Tom, just to say he meant Andy Carroll, not Tom Carroll.

Makes sense. As AVB moves us to a possession side it makes less sense having a hold-up forward. We'll need one whose game is all about intelligent movement.
Re Tom Carroll, I think Burt was just playfully championing our young midfielder, acknowledging that he is becoming more high profile. An England manager did this with Ashley Cole (re confusion with Andy Cole that no one had particularly even considered at the time) once I remember.

Mario Gomez would be perfect [-o<
but never, ever going to happen. Wonder where he will go :-k

Possibly Madrid if Higuain is offloaded in the summer
Or even City if Dzeko leaves

I'd be happy with that.
Unless AVB and Freund have an undiscovered next Falcao lined up, Gomez for Defoe and Osvaldo for Ade would be about as good as we can realistically hope for.

We'd be in a better place than we were last summer when a coach left us as the only team in Europe set up to persist with 4-4-2.
AVB has already set our youth teams up to play his system, so its being embedded into the whole club. It's what Klinsmann did that created this big revival across German football (i.e. agree a system and get everyone committed to it).
