Think NUFC need to sign at least 3 players in the summer imo, looking at who is probably worth keeping the squad looks a bit like this. .

Ameobi Best Ranger
Jonas Tiote Nolan Barton
Arfa Guthrie Gosling Kazenga
Enrique Collo Willo Simpson
Ferguson Kadar s.Taylor Tavernier
Harper Forster Krul

With Carroll gone the obvious gap needed filling in the starting 11 to improve the first team is a striker. would guess that r.taylor, lovenkrants, smith, cambell, routledge would be allowed to leave for whatever the club can get for them to get the wage bill down - smith and cambell especially and then those players replaced with freebies along the lines of elmander/larsson.

Think with sunderlands apparent money woes, trying to nick in and secure a permanent deal for onouha would be the perfect signing our defence needs as he can play anywhere in teh back 4. Also think Gervinho has to be the no1 target as he could play off one of our many target men, out wide with arfa in a 433 or even right side in a 442 if barton had to tuck for injuries and routledge will no doubt be sold.

Would be an excellent summer if we kept our good players and only brought in onouha, elmander, gervinho - what do you think? ?
