Yeah there's some work to do isn't there. Pierre Ekwah was quality wasn't he, we were a bit short in midfield back end so that certainly needs looking at, needs a few goals in there. Trouble is with Gray he looks just as good at RB as he does in midfield

but playing him in midfield at 8 gives us added creativity.. agree regarding 2 centre backs as it gives us options on Ampadu, he's very very useful in midfield but he's also superb at bringing the ball out from the back..
Re Jack Clarke, I would have thought he would be obtainable as Piroe was.. surely Sunderland will need the money.. depends on Prem interest though I suppose.
Not sure about Bamford, can we afford to replace him with anything better given other areas to focus on? and we could be 2 wingers down... depends what we'd sell him for.
I'd definately sell Meslier though, heard a stat today on the Graham Smyth podcast that he was one of the worst keepers in the championship for saving goals. Both promoted teams had their keepers in the top 3, its a pretty bad stat that as we were very good defensively so it kind of makes that stat even worse.
