to add to the current Squad(if we dont loose any current players)
to get in to the top 2 next season and what positions ?

Ten

1 big mobile striker
1 up and down midfielder (gary o'neil mould)
1 keeper
1 left back

2 or 3 loanee's as back up

5

Target Man
Midfielder x 2 (koumas & montgomory)
Defender
Backup keeper

Back up Keeper

2 central defenders

left back

right sided midfielder

2 centre midfelders

Target man

total 8

Jay De Merit
Brian Stock
Robert Koren
Gary O Neil
Franck Quedrue
Craig Bellamy
Big Lump Striker

That should do it.

1 Goalkeeper
1 right back
1 left back
2 central defenders
1 left winger
1 right winger
2 centre midfielders
1 Striker

1 Goalkeeper
1 right back
1 left back
2 central defenders

1 Striker

I would go along with that.

1 Goalkeeper
1 right back
1 left back
2 central defenders
1 left winger
1 right winger
2 centre midfielders
1 Striker

Lets hope Vincent Tan is Jones friend!

Ten.

We need

Marshall plus new backup

Defence
Keep Kev, Matthews, Blakey, Gerrard and Kennedy plus Quinn. Sign new quick defender

Midfield
Keep Leds, Whitts, McPhail, Burke and Wildig. Bring in 2.

Up front
Keep Chops, Jay & Ross. Bring in 1 new.

To be honest Jones will earn serious brownie points off me before the season even starts if hes got rid of the poorest excuse for a footballer I have seen in a long long time....I can't take another season of Gavin Rae!!!

Would be quite handy if Jones sent Hudson packing after he seriously got found out in the play offs.

A targetman to put pressure on Jay is essential
Left Back
Centre Back with pace (Curtis Davies on loan or Gabbs) or two if he sees the light regarding Hudson
Boss man and a box to box midfielder
Koumas
Backup keeper (Lewis Price)
Another winger

Am I right to assume we wont see any deals done until DJ returns from Holiday???

two midfielders and a right back

Back up keeper

Left back

Center back

Hardman, box to box midfielder

Creative midfielder/winger ala Koumas

Back up target man

Goalkeeper as backup for Marshall.

1 left back, 2 central defender, 1 right back.

Move Mathews to midfield. 1 wing midfielder, 1 Central midfielder

1 backup for Jay.

7 new guys needed.

If we could keep everyone and add 3 players I would be happy.
Mist important are back up to jay and a cb.

Followed by a CM

personally I woulnt bother with a back up keeper, have santigao on the bench and loan in if needed

3 centre mids (assuming Jones could alter a game tactically)
1 left back with pace
2 centre halves again with pace
1 striker who can play not only a battering ram
1 keeper who can put serious competion on Marshall
2 wingers at least 1 with pace

Total 10

3 assuming we keep the squad we got. This a bare minimum to challenge for top 2 spot.

Sol Campbell
Steve Sidwell
Craig Bellamy or Steve Howard

2 defenders, 2 midfield, 1 striker, 2 subs

No point in getting any subs in - Jones wouldn't use them anyway

yes he would if we are losing he would put them on with 5 mins to go
