Quote ="Trebor1"The problem is at the moment because the squad is so thin putting Struijk in that role then causes a horrible knock on effect at the back and on our right hand side which as we saw against Arsenal hit us hard. Ayling is a poor centre back and added to that a left back in Alioski there’s no wonder we conceded 4.
Can understand Bielsa backing all his players especially Struijk as he’s only a kid and needs support but it’s as clear as day we need a good 4 quality players bringing in the summer.'"
bang on. a centre mid that is capable of covering klich and phillips roles. a left back, a goalkeeper to aid Meslier and personally i would try get shot of Costa and bring in a winger to provide cover on both sides.
shouldn't have to break the bank to do it, 40/50 million tops and the squad would be looking solid top half for me minimum with those additions.
