time for some wishful thinking.

with the start a lot of the 'big teams' have made the door has never been more open for teams like us, now we just need to jam our foot in.

so it gets to the end of the season. we have finished 3rd and have champions league football coming to st marys. spider signs a new contract, our two loanees sign permanantly.

who and what positions would we like to see strengthened? for me we could do with a top quality CAM (similar to erikson at tottenham) and cover/ competition for pelle.
other than that i don't think we would want too many more signings, we seem to have such a good team spirit and i would hate to see the chances offered to our youth players limited

Well that is very wishful thinking, but if this somehow miraculously happened, I would buy more defensive cover; a backup RB to clyne, and another CB for cover who is better than Yoshida. I would buy a cover striker, and as you said, a top quality CAM. Hopefully we could fill the gaps with some of our academy players. As you said though, very wishful thinking.

Imo all we need is a quick striker, someone similar to Mane but an out and out forward, maybe use Seager if he's ready

If we somehow did the impossible and finished in the top four I think we would decide what to do then. Not going to happen though let's be realistic. I would bring Ramirez back from Hull and somehow get out of him the immense talent which is obviously there but not actually happening. I thought our new super coach could have found his weaknesses and dealt with them. If we have a problem in defence I think we could manage, here I go again, really think we need a proper goalkeeper that has it all like Llorris.

Forsters quality, no need for another keeper to replace him, but now we don't have Boruc I reckon we need another good sub keeper as we have little depth there someone young and up and coming for the long term, more cover at RB, another class AM like you said and maybe another top class striker, I'd like:
GK: Not sure
RB: Byram
CAM: Shaqiri
ST: Vela

Can't understand this fixation with another RB. Toby plays there for his country and we have youngsters who look good to come into that position, with Jack able to fill in if needed.
Think a developing GK and back up for Tadic and Pelle would be my priorities.

A decent full back that could cover right and left back a sub goalie and another striker
