Default How many players does Erik need?

I’m order to get us right back to the top how many players realistically do we need? Reading the threads today you’d think eleven but what are we looking at?

RB
CB
2 x CM/DM
CF

What’s that £400 million required before we consider keeper, right wing etc? Plus the cost of the stadium you’re looking at a billion on top of any investment no wonder it’s taking so long

Proper digressed then, how many do we need and how many windows?

Cf, CM and a GK in the summer

Maybe try and pick up the odd freebie for cover

Diallo and Hannibal apparently developing well so could come back as squad options.

GK

CB
2x CM (minimum)
1 or 2 CF

Ideally, imo. Will take a while to get the right ones.

Wide areas we should be ok with Rashford, Antony, Sancho, Garnacho, Pellistri and Amad, for the time being.

Would like a Bruno alternative that’s a bit calmer on the ball and a bit more predictable, maybe? Someone different anyway.

Declan Rice and a centre forward.

2 goal keepers
1 centre back
1 right back
2 central midfielders
2 strikers

It’ll take 2-3 windows to sort that, plus whatever issue arise in the meantime.

Priority in the summer: striker, centre midfield, right back.

De Gea
Heaton
AWB/Dalot (1 of)
Telles
Bailly
Jones
Maguire
Lindelof
Tuanzebe
The Scottish Player
Fred
Beek
Martial
Elanga

All need moving on ASAP. Probably just as important tbh.

In priority order:

1 x striker
2 x cm
2 x fb
1 x striker (backup)
1 x gk

Apart from that we're in good shape.

In order of priority.

St
Cm
Rb
St ( cover striker after martial is binned)
Gk
Cb ( can see atleast one of slab or lindelof being sold, depth is required)

Get top quality improvements in at least three of those and we could compete for the title imo.

I think you keep the ones in bold.

We need another central midfielder, a new goal keeper, a top class centre forward as my three top priorities.

Zesty Midfielder

and Greenwood back, albeit one where he was framed for all his stuff

Think we are good at CB tbh

4 top signings and we are challenging - plus a couple of squad players

In

Striker (starter)
CM (starter)
RB (starter)
CB (squad)

Out

AWB
Maguire
Tuanzebe
Jones
Bailley
Telles
Williams
Donny
Elanga

Work out which 2 from Sancho, Anthony, Diallo, and Pellestri to keep and move on the other 2

There are definitely other players/areas we could improve, but I belive 4 players in would allow us to challenge fully.

Elanga wouldn't get into any other top side looking to win trophies. He's saleable too. Get rid.

Get shut of DDG, Maguire, Martial too.

Get in a GK, CB, 2 MFs and and out and out forward (not an inverted left central winger forward with spoilers and DAB radio - just someone who plays through the middle and scores).

And the captaincy needs sorting too. Maguire still being captain really bothers me.

Keep one of the RB’s, sure, the rest? Only if we have to imo. Sick to the back teeth of Martial, Lindelof has done his stint and Fred, Christ Fred, he’s needed upgrading for 3 years.

More goals, better technicians - we shouldn't be going out to buy Hakimi from PSG for example at RB but we should have been buying him when he either left Inter or known about him when they signed him. Not buying AWB
