Our passing is still not up to standard for the 8th best team currently in England, we still struggle at breaking teams down when our set pieces are poor, we still have no plan B and our whole set-up and style of play is very predictable for the opposition now. At least the coaching staff know what needs strengthening in the summer.
Tony Pulis' aim of 6 signings in the summer looks about right, I just hope they are quality players from abroad as well as the UK because the UK market is normally overpriced. In my opinion we will need a centre back to eventually replace McAuley, Marc Wilson as a permanent transfer as centre back cover, a quality left back, a ball playing central midfielder to push Fletcher and Morrison, a right winger to push Phillips and Chadli and a striker to replace Rondon as first choice. My personal choices are Björn Engels (CB - Club Brugge), Dennis Aogo (LB - Schalke), Lorenzo Pellegrini (CM - Sassuolo), Simone Verdi (RM - Bologna) and Duvan Zapata (ST - Napoil) but I'm sure Tony Pulis has other players in mind.
