Some great points in here dude!Not sure why I put United, I meant City!
As for the 3 players we need, I think we should be getting a DM, a winger and a striker (if Walcott isn't up front). I think Čech's a bonus.
That said, if we get Čech and the DM, we can compete with what we have now. But to really trouble the top teams around us – and compete in Europe – we'd still have to do a bit more. Over the next two seasons we should be transitioning the older players out and bringing in top, top quality talent to strengthen the defence and balance the midfield; and it goes without saying, if this season doesn't go well for our forwards, we absolutely have to go and get someone world-class and be ruthless with the strikers we do have. No time to waste given the potential in this team; every year we do nothing we waste all that we've invested into our younger players.
I just hope at the very least we'll get Cech and a new midfielder in. I feel even without a new attacker we can do well, moving Walcott into the centre could work out very well. We would be relying a lot on the likes of Walcott, Welbeck and Ox stepping up though. With a new midfielder we'd have a lot of good players in that area who should be playing, so we'll probably see Ramsey or Wilshere on the right a few times...
