Benteke is the star striker we've all been looking for, and I think the only position we desperately need to get absolute top quality in is no. 10. But we need to bulk up the squad with some PL-capable backups.
Squad looks like this:

GK: Mandanda (Hennessey, Speroni)
LB: Souare (Fryers)
CB: Dann, Tomkins (Delaney)
RB: Ward (Kelly)
CM: Cabaye, McArthur, Ledley, Mutch
ML/R: Zaha, Townsend (Kaikai, Sako)
AMC: Puncheon (Lee)
ST: Benteke (Wickham, Campbell)


So we still need:

Top quality no. 10
Backup winger
Backup striker
Backup left-back
Backup centre-back

In an ideal world, another central midfielder and versatile defender on top of that list. Our starting 11 is looking great but I'm worried that injuries in almost any position could derail us.

For me the urgent ones are a left back, another striker and (if Kai Kai going back out on loan) another winger.

Looks like Remy is the additional striker in your list. Maybe for this season the prority is a goalscoring midfielder playmaker like Ilicic?
