It sounds as though Ashley Young and Charlie Adam are very likely to sign, as well as Sylvain Marveaux who is out of contract in the summer. Other targets appear to be Benzema, as well as another winger or two.
I also don't think that qualifying for Europa league will have any difference on our chances to sign players. Players don't care about Europa league, at least the top players don't anyway. I think it is going to be a very exciting summer window.

I agree, I just dont think they'll be after high profile signings, I think they're going to be more concerned about rounding out the squad.
I agree about Adam and Young, but I doubt they're going to pay a King's ransom to Real for Benzema.

Soto has his uses, just not in the Premier League I dont think, hes a little too slow and strong to be that last man. He played well in that role with 3 CBs and Carra and Agger behind him.
Either way, this is what I mean, Soto is around after he was a free transfer that Rafa picked up way back in the day which the club will likely be looking to improve upon.
