This summer is tipped as one of massive squad change, some enforced replacements and others who just need shifted out.
We need at least 3 players signed who can slot in to our first team straight away. This figure could vary depending on the futures of RVP and Kagawa and what shape Moyes plans to have us in next year. Given the amount of games given to Valencia/Welbeck/Young they are likely to stay.
At present Moyes seems to favour a flat back four and two deep midfielders. An attacking three with one inverted playmaker, a #10 and a pacy winger with one striker up top.
---------------------------------De Gea-----------------------------------
Rafael---------------Jones-------------------CB--------------------LB
------------------------Carrick------------------CM----------------------
Mata--------------------------Rooney-----------------------------Nani
---------------------------------Van Persie-------------------------------
Vidic and Rio will be replaced with one experienced top class CB.
Buttner won't become first choice when Evra goes so a new LB will be brought in.
Fellaini is the solution to no problem, Fletcher and Carrick are too similar and Cleverley isn't good enough so a new CM will come in.
It will be terrifying to see which players Moyes thinks can fill those voids.

Shaw, Kroos and gundogan arent ttbh, and that leaves one youve mentioned.

In: Shaw, new CB, Barkley, Kroos and Gundogan
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who is new cb? I've heard of the other four but never heard of him before.
Any good?

Think Shaw and Kroos could happen but Cleverley and Fellaini leaving and Barkley coming in seem unlikely.

Have you ordered your eye gouger yet? becuase that's what is coming.
Rooney is staying. Mata is obviously staying. And RVP apparently wants to stay and get a new deal too.
Mata on right wing. Moyes masterclass

Shaw is chelsea or city bound.
Both will have cl and both need a lb as much as we do and both are willing to pay far more.

===============================
Shaw could happen IMO, but we've got as much chance of signing Toni Kroos as we have of winning 8-0 in the Allianz next Wednesday

This is my opinion of what next season squad could be.
Taking into account the 25 player/ home grown rule.
Goal Keepers....
D. De Gea
A. Lindegaard
B. Amos (Home Grown)
S. Johnstone ( U21)
Central Defender......
(New Squad Player)
P. Jones (Home Grown)
J. Evans (Home Grown)
C. Smalling (Home Grown)
M. Keane (U21)
Right Full Back......
Rafael
M. Vermijl or (New Back up Player)
G. Varela (U21)
Left Full Back.....
(New 1st Choice Player)
A. Buttner
(promising U21 player)
Midfield........
(New 1st Choice Player)
M. Carrick (Home Grown)
D. Fletcher (Home Grown)
T. Cleverley (Home Grown)
M. Fellaini
N. Powell (U21)
Attacking Midfield.......
(New Squad Player)
Nani
S. Kagawa
J. Mata
Anderson (as it looks like Fiorentina aren't gonna sign him) or D. Petrucci
A. Januzai (U21)
Fowards........
W. Rooney (Home Grown)
D. Welbeck (Home Grown)
R. van Persie (if he stays) or (New Squad Player)
J. Hernandez (again if he stays) or J. Lingard (Home Grown)
A. Henriquez (U21)
W. Keane (U21)
Out.......
P. Evra... R. Ferdinand.... R. Giggs....N. Vidic.....
A. Young..... A. Valencia.... F. Macheda....
Not Sure about.....
W. Zaha...... Bebe
This does not take into account what the age or nationality of any new players as someone like Luke Shaw would be classed as Under 21 and would not take up a space in the 25 man squad rule

Fabian Delph is better than Tom Cleverley.
