Don't worry you won't be eating that sandwich anytime soon. I agree with your analysis except for the part about the need for 2 or 3 players. I think we require a left back, right back, right winger and CM/AM at a minimum. Even 4 additional players would still leave us behind Man City and the best in Europe. In an ideal world we would have a clear out of the squad and remove about 8 players and bring in 6 or 7 quality players then we could go toe to toe with the big boys domestically and in Europe. To challenge the big boys I would think we would need to bring in Laporte, Ghoulam, Fabinho, Jorginho, Fekir/Savic and Leon Bailey or players of similar quality. Players like Darmain, Mika, Shaw, Blind, Carrick, Smalling, Lingard, Mata can't be part of our squad going forward if we hope to challenge for titles.
