Honestly, and I agree with all of the needs you noted, I think we really need two full-backs who can make good crosses and are not abysmal passers. Darmian and Rojo cannot maintain possession whatsoever, can't pass the ball upfield, and deliver terrible crosses.
Secondly, I do think we need a more pacy midfield. You're right here. When Schweinsteiger was healthy the midfield never, ever gave up the ball - which was nice - but also could not create openings. It was frustrating to watch.
I'm willing to let Martial, Rashford, Memphis, and Lingard try and score goals next season. We do, indeed, need another striker; I just don't think it is as pressing as the other two needs.
EDIT: what are your boys at Chelsea gonna do this summer?
Pray. We have the highest wage bil in the premier league but we also have one of the oldest and least pacy defense. Our defensive midfielders are woefully out of form. Ditto our attacking players. You would think that Roman will splurge this summer but sadly we also have a new stadium that we are building and a lot of funds will towards that. I think Terry, Mikel, Oscar leaving and our loan players like Cuadrado and Victor Moses also being sold. I can see us buying a defender but the question is without Champions League can we attract the top players ? Right now Nainggolan and Bonucci are heavily linked to come in.
