What are some of the realistically attainable players at other Premier League clubs you'd like to see us try signing in the summer? Assuming we're still in the PL, I'd really like to see another high profile signing like Cabaye was and couple of solid signings in the GK position and at centre back. For me: Joel Campbell - Top player in my opinion, full of energy and industry but great final pass too. I think Wenger likes him but he doesn't really get the first team action his displays warrant and they play Ozil, Walcott, Chamberlin, Ramsey ahead of him and in a fully fit squad he'd be behind Carzola and Wilshere too. Calum Chambers - Barely gets a game, must have England ambitions but currently stuck behind Bellerin at RB and a few players at CB. Darren Randolph - West Ham second choice goal keeper, been impressive in the cup games, can't say that Adrian is much better than him. Kind of has a Speroni vibe about him, same kind of height and style. If Newcastle go down: Moussa Sissoko - Absolutely what our midfield needs, a proper box to box player. A midfield 3 of McArthur, Cabaye and Sissoko I'm sure would be one of the best in the league. Chancel Mbemba - Great young centre back, the rest of the Newcastle defence isn't. Tim Krul - Obvious quality keeper who Pardew knows well.

Fellaini is another if we don't keep Adebayor. But I guess he could do a job in midfield too. I think we need versatility, that was what made us better at the start of the season; Bolasie could play left wing or forward and the midfield 3 could switch around quite comfortably. We've hit a brick wall since our 3 most versatile (Bolasie, McArthur, Puncheon) have been injured. I think we need another 'off the shoulder' kind of striker too, Gayle isn't really up to scratch.

I would definetly give either Ospina, Sceczny or Begovic a try, then Janmaat, Veretout from Aston Villa has gold in his boots, definetly Loic Remy it's shocking to see how he is treated by Chelsea, of we don't get him Divock Origi seems a nice player and finally Kalas from Chelsea seems to be a very solid all around defender...

Bony might become available when Guardiola takes over at Man City and brings in some world class players. He'll probably be a little bit beyond our reach, I'm sure West Ham and Everton if Lukaku leaves will be ahead of us, but we said the same about Cabaye last year.

Wouldn't mind Wijnaldum if we're raiding Newcastle.
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold... |

Tim Krul - Obvious quality keeper who Pardew knows well. Yep. Loads of PL experience, just what we need. Also to go along with him, another experienced CB as well. Haven't got a name but this is a priority. Need to shore up our defence. I can see other areas of the team improving at a faster rate than here.

Hopefully they don't turn it on suddenly and drag us into the mix at the bottom. Joe Allen would be another midfield option, great competition for Cabaye/Puncheon or in a worst case scenario, a replacement for Cabaye.

Callum Wilson (aged 24) from Bournemouth. I would break the bank to sign him, well somewhere between 15 to 20 million anyway. Of course I doubt we have a snowball in hell's chance but his injury this season may have seen him slip off some of the top clubs radars. Others I would like us to consider are: Debuchy (30) and Gibbs (26) of Arsenal Not from the Premier League but I do like Judge at Brentford. Whilst he may not be first choice he would certainly push those over him to keep their places. Obviously not suggesting we sign all of these but at least consider them. In addition I know we need at least one and probably two centre backs but I feel we may have to look overseas for the best value options. Alternatively the lower leagues and Duffy (24) of Blackburn has recently been mentioned, however, I know very little about him.
