Great read. I've watched some YouTube highlights of Sangare, Pripic and Campbell this morning and they look the business.

Sangare looks like the midfielder we've been crying out for years (as you said, since Wanyama). That sort of physical profile and technical ability in midfield is so hard to come by and so highly valued in the modern game. He'd be top of my list in he summer.

Campbell to me looks like a classic Rodgers winger. Very similar to Ademola Lookman. You would think that him and Jota would dovetail well as our left wingers, Jota being more technical whereas Campbell's best attributes are physical.

Pripic looks great but I wonder if RCB will be the most pressing concern this summer. If we move on CCV as has been mooted by Eddie, then his replacement is of paramount importance. Would we then also look a whole. new partnership or have some continuity with Trusty and Scales. I always feel it's difficult to develop CBs and managers seem to rotate CBs less frequently. Dane Murray being the prime example, he's had about 130 minutes of game time since returning from Queen's park (although he would have played against Rangers if not for injuries). Would we as a club be willing to buy Pripic and loan him out immediately?

I'll try and have a look at the others later.

I think Kuhn will be away this summer, not because of his body language or anything like that, but because he's been so devastating when on top form. Hes so quick and on an upwards development curve that it'll tempt someone from the Bundesliga or the Premier league. I think Rodgers will want a proper left footed right winger as a result. Your choices above all seem to be right footed? Did you come across any left-footers that caught your eye?

Benjamin Nygren is one that's caught mine. Left footed right winger for Nordsjaelland. He's 6 foot 2 and uses his frame well. Scores a lot of goals driving inside from the wing to tap in at the back post. Nordsjaelland play very similar to us, lots of possession, passes and pressing so he'd be used to the basics of our set up. Did he come up in your searches? If yes, what made you discount him?
