Man City come down here and had the ball for 80 mins, and scored one goal from open play.

2. Keeper with Premiership experience (e.g. Fabianski)
3. Strong defensive midfielder (similar to Diame, Medel)
4. Creative midfielder
5. Wide man
6. Defence/right back/experienced PL Centre back
(Defence is currently our strongest area)

Bennett is one of our best players, plenty of weak areas to fill before him IMO.

Cant be on that much at Reading so would probably jump at the chance of playing Premier League football with his old club. Still under 30 so has a few years left. Think he would fit in well with the others. A low bid would really unsettle Reading.

I always think the obsession with Gunter is bizarre from our fans to be honest. I'm the first to advocate signing Welsh players, but while Ledley would have been perfect, Gunter certainly would not. He is pretty awful going forward and can't deal with pace coming at him at all, shown up by Mendez on the last.

I would take him over Peltier though mate tbh

Another average right back won't help though, jazz, Peltier and gunter would equal a lot of nothing.

I wouldn't sign him, was just stating I would rather him than Peltier, neither are good enough for the PL in my opinion

No we need someone to come in and make that position their own. No idea who that's is but a key position. I'd bet it will be a defensive fullback though.
