Hi lads just wanting to know what all of you would do this summer regarding transfers in & out and what your squad would be next season if you where in charge? Think it will be interesting to find out peoples view on the subject

Well for starters I would have started already getting rid of deadwood by putting them on the transfer list:
OUTS:
- Brad Jones
- Soto The Greek
- Insua
- Konchesky
- Jovanovic
- Maxi
- Ngog
- Poulsen
- Degen
- El Zhar
- Aquliani
I would also get rid of any reserves who defo dont make the grade and bring up the youth.
A revamp of the team is defo needed, which should include some of the younger players and some top world class talent
INS:
- Young second goalkeeper with potential, or old head goalkeeper willing to play second fiddle
LB
CB or 2
Wingers x 2
Creativity Central Midfielder
Young up and coming striker like Conor Wickham as an example
YOUTH:
I would get the following more involved:
Conor Coady
Raheem Sterling
Jack Robinson
Jonjo Shelvey

I would ship the disasters: Poulsen, Jovanovic, Konchesky, Degen, El Zhar, Cole. No place for any of them.
I would buy, in order of priority: LB, CB, left winger, backup DM, CB, backup striker. That's 6 in and 6 out, which still leaves us short of a full 25 over 21-year-olds. Ideally I could get another winger and a utility player (another Kuyt/Spearing) to make up the numbers a bit.
I would consider my formation and players I could definitely land before selling Jones, Pacheco, Soto, N'Gog, Insua, Maxi or Aquilani. These players will prove useful in a long season, particularly if we qualify for the Europa League. If I could replace like-for-like with an improvement in quality then obviously there is no reason to hang onto these guys, but they do a job and bring different things to the team than we already have.
For eg, if I managed to land 2 top CBs (eg Sakho+Cahill), I would ship Soto and plan to rely on 3-5-2/3-6-1 as my primary weapon. If I can only get 1 CB, then keep Soto for another season, get at least 1 winger, and look to play 4-4-2/4-4-1-1 or 4-2-3-1/4-3-3. Any system where I plan to use 2 strikers will require that I look for another young striker like Wickham and keep N'Gog for emergencies. If I'm going for lone striker/3 up front, N'Gog can go if I get Wickham. If I'm playing 4-4-2 Aquilani is an extra limb that weighs down the wage bill, and he could fetch enough to pay half the cost of another quality winger. and so on....
Youth players will get their chance in EL, otherwise they will sit the bench for games we're winning comfortably to get 20 minute run-outs.
Oh dear, another essay that lost the audience. Tough.

Players to sell
Degan free
Insua 3 mil
Jovanovic 5 mil
Poulson 2 mil
El Zhar 2 mil
Konchesky 2 mil
Jones 1 mil
Darby under 1 mil
Joe Cole 6 mil
Kyriagkos 2 mil
Players to promote
Gulucsi/Hansen reserve gk
Kelly cb/rb
Flannagan rb
Robinson lb
Coady dm
wilson cb
Ayala cb
Aquilani att mid
Players to buy (24 mil hopfully is all players are sold at cheap prices)
Izaguirre Celtic lb under 12 mil wages 40k
Mateo Musacchio Villareal cb 10-12 mil wages under 40k
Ashley Young Aston Villa wing under 14 mil wages 70-80k
Demba Ba West Ham striker under 10 mil wages 40k
Sergio Canales Real Madrid att mid under 8 mil 30k
You'd save 150-180k from wages from the players sold, meaning the total wages would rise by around 50k and cost 32 mil is transfer fees.
Team wouldn't change much but imo doesn't need changing that much to have a good squad.
A normal top first 11 from these players would leave the following on the bench:
skrtel Mussachio aurelio Kelly Aquilani Spearing Kuyt Ba Canales
Upcoming world class players IMO for 2014 WORLD CUP:
K-P Boateng, Gotze, Sturridge, Kroos, Lucas Leiva, Hummels, Kyriakos Papadopoulos,
