I personally thought right back was one of the positions we needed to strengthen the most. Manga isn't a right back, Peltier is probably the best out of the 3 of them defensively but not PL standard and you need a bit more going forward at that level, Jazz Richards not good enough and injuries meant he played 6 championship games last season. The signings so far had been decent but if we end up with just two more players - one of which is Grujic - it'd be a bit underwhelming as that defence will get ripped apart.

I also think we need a CB. Talk of Chester to Stoke for 5m due to Villa's financial problems, I'm not a huge fan of us being linked with every Welsh player going but he's PL quality and we should definitely be in for him if that fee is true.
If our defence isn't good enough, we've got real problems. Chester is also on 40/50k a week. We can't afford that, or nor should we. I'd like a right back but I'd rather we got a striker and a centre mid in, if that's how far the budget will stretch. Currently, if Zohore or Ralls got injured we may as well pack up and go home.
