For me, this summer in the transfer market is a huge test for Rafa. I'd imagine he's going to have a similar budget to last year to work with so I'd like to see a signifcant percentage of that spent on a genuine world class player (Diego from Bremen would be a class signing, in my eyes) and a number of youngsters promoted from the reserves to supplement the first team, rather than spend £7-8m here and there on mediocre squad players.

our big signings should be fullbacks, this is where the majority of our funds should be spent, bring in world class players who have pace, power and the ability to take on players and cross or get to the byline and cut the ball back.
