Originally I thought a striker, number ten, a winger and Ben White or another centre half would be the minimum we should bring in.
Looking at the comments on here there is a good case for another defender in the Beradi mode who can play across the back four even defensive mid field.
One of Bielsa's strengths is he identifies players who are able to play or be coached up to play at the level required for the system he uses.
He can see players able to play to the standard and system and like Dallas, Alioski or Ayling can play in a number of positions. Pablo, Harrison, Shacks, Struijk and Philips can all slot into different roles without the level dropping too much.
So would like to see 5 players brought in, relatively happy with four and you will find the majority of players brought in will more than likely be able to play different positions.

Looks like if reports are correct we are after a flop striker from borough you would think one was enough.

Well we have already brought 3 in
Costa
Harrison
Meslier
Iโd be surprised if we bring more than 2 or 3 max
Seems like we are in for a striker and an attacking midfield and or possibly and new CB to replace Ben White . Which is a must in my opinion.

im not sure why but i think we are going to give the prem a proper crack and surpise many i think we could end up with about 7-9 new players including the three already in. I think a keeper, two cb's, a fliar attacking mid and a striker.

If the 3 mentioned (plus big Kev perhaps) are the only signings we are going to make then we are screwed. We do not have a squad good enough for the PL.

It's reported today that we have 5 top targets (in addition to the players already signed up) and want to sign them all, or presumably equivalent players if top targets not acquired.
Doubtless we'll see a further influx for the Academy too.
