Out of the 5 obvious positions we need filling, i think getting a quality centre mid is the least important, as we can have Weso with Hughes or Williams (and if we sell the latter surely that will free up some funds?)
Nissa has done well at left back this season, and we also have Sheehan. Although this is a position that needs to be looked at, it dosent take priority imo.
On the left flank, it would be great if we could get Welsh on a cheap from Sunderland, if not, Hughes might play on the left :icon_conf which would mean we need at least one other good CM. i would expect Hammil & Tiatto to leave in the summer.
Then in goal, both keepers are poor at crosses, and poor at commanding in the box. Douglas is OK, decent shot stopper, but i feel we can get an experienced keeper for next to nothing, or a young keeper like Carson on loan.
We definetly(sp) need a right midfielder, Maybury is poor in that position, Sylla is lazy and brings the mood of the team and fans down, although if Kelly can work the same miracle on him that he seems to have done to Williams, Sylla could become the same player that we saw against Celtic pre season.
Considering he will have very litle to spend, I would like RK to bring in a keeper on a free, a backup centre midfielder, and strenghen the flanks. Johansson is a competent left back, and the other positions must take priority.
Luxury players like Momo are what Kelly is trying to stamp out, getting rid of Dublin/De Vries, moving Kisnorbo to his proper position, and keeping a consistent starting line up are all things he has done fantastically, he has motivated the players well, and even Williams is starting to play to his potential.
Assuming he gets the job, which he must, we will have to hope he is as good in the transfer market as he is on the sideline. If he brings in players with the right mentality, we can push on from this great current form and have a good season next year.
