TRANSFERS

Outs:
I'll probably look to sell the following in the first window:
Lindegaard (wages quite high for a rubbish second choice keeper)
Smalling (granted he's only 24 and English, I just think there are better options out there)
(Maybe) Fellaini (Not a huge fan and again, I think there's better options. If I don't sell him this season, I will definitely, next season)
Fletcher. Old and injury prone.
Anderson. Simply not good enough.
Lingard (out on loan)
Young (High wages and at the wrong end of his twenties)
Valencia (Better options out there and he starts with a reasonable value)
RVP (Old, high wages and starts with a reasonable value)
Wilson (out on loan)

Ins:
Lindegaard replacement. Preferably young, cheap and with a high potential.
LB. Youngster. Shaw back up. Happy to sit on the bench.
RB. Youngster. Rafael back up. Happy to sit on the bench.
Centre back. World-beater. Someone around the age of 22-25. Someone to come straight into the team with Jones.
Centre back. Wonderkid that will happily sit on the bench and be a back up CB to start off with.
Centre mid/defensive mid. Long term Carrick replacement. Youngster with bags of potential. Big and strong.
Centre mid. Ball winner. A more technical version of Fellaini.
Attacking centre midfielder. DLP/AM. Youngster/WK. First team player to rotate with Herrera.
AMC. WK to back up Mata and Rooney (if I play Rooney in the hole). Retraining Januzaj on the left.
AMR. First team starter. World builder or a stepping stone to one. Winger or Inside Forward.
AMR. Wonderkid. Future leading winger.
ST. Wonderkid. Long term first choice.
Any other cheap wonderkids.

Any recommendations?
So here's what I did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-OY5NW_V5A

Team is now:

GK:
De Gea
Perrin

Happy with my keepers. Savic, Pereira and Johnstone to choose from as 3rd choices. Maybe a 5 star potential, regen in the near future.

DR:
Rafael
Peruzzi

Peruzzi is a stop gap. He was cheap and only 22. Rafael has just signed a new deal as well. Looking for a wonderkid or if not, a regen.

DL:
Shaw
Maksimovic

Same as Peruzzi, Maksimovic is also a stop gap. Cheap and young as well. Looking for a wonderkid, if not a regen.

DC:
Jones
Evans
Alvarez Balanta
Rojo

Jones and Balanta I plan to keep. Evans and Rojo to be replaced by a leading centre back and a wonderkid or regen.

DM/MC:
Carrick
Lucas Romero
Blind
Fellaini

Fellaini will go asap. He's poor and keeps moaning. Carrick is getting old. Blind will only ever be back up. Looking for a leading defensive midfielder and a wonderkid.

MC/AMC:
Pogba
Mata
Herrera

Over time, even though I love him, Herrera will fall away. Mata has a few more years in him before I think about cashing in. Pogba is the man! Looking for a wonderkid AMC.

AML:
Di Maria
Januzaj
Ould-Chikh

Happy with the left hand side. Will eventually cash in on Di Maria before he gets too old.

AMR:
Reus
Januzaj
Bittencourt

Also happy with the right hand side.

ST:
Rooney
Falcao
RVP

I'll cash in on RVP as he's getting old at the end of the season. Debating whether it's worth buying out Falcao as he's SO expensive. Rooney has been playing well, is versatile and English. Looking for a wonderkid and a leading striker, if I decide to opt against buying Falcao.

Any recommendations?
