Not sure what annoys me more, loaning a crock like Vermaelen or the striker situation. Decent strikers are hard to find but a stack of squad level left sided defenders have been and gone this summer. Will reserve judgement for 24 hours but for now Vermaelen really winds me up as a deal! :)

Yes, think Sandro and Klaassen will probably do better in Europe than domestic games. Prem is all about pace and power which we don't have a great deal of.

Tend to agree. Being in Europe is bound to have an effect too. DCL, Rooney, Sandro isn't enough. Tense.

One of those players that doesn't even look good in a YouTube compilation. Can't be a genuine link.

This escalated fast! Better get running on the sand dunes

Riedewald to Palace, Bruno Martins Indi (Stoke) or Hoedt would've all solved the LCB problem by now.

Wesley Hoedt signs for Soton for £15m. Another left sided CB off the list. Who's left? Kempf (Freiburg) Gibson (Boro) Wimmer (Spurs) Anyone else out there?

Marc-Oliver Kempf would make sense. Contract up next summer too so a potential deal to be had. Played well in the u21 Euros this summer.

You're probably right - though Bernardeschi and Costa are wide players which might leave him more expendable, or certainly leave Juve open to big money offer for a player with minimal sell-on value etc. It's going to be Troy Deeney isn't it? :)

Only reason I think there's a shot at Mandzukic is the fact he's probably 5th choice in the forwards at Juve: Higuain Dybala bernadeschi (wide forward) Douglas Costa (wide forward) Mario Pjaca But he's probably very comfy in Turin with occasional Champs League games and starting half the Série...

Mario Mandzukic would be ideal. Would take a monumental power play from our negotiators to pull that one off, but maybe he fancies a shot at the Prem. Pipe dream perhaps.

We're buying Panama, aren't we? Yes Moshiri!

If Troy Deeney is the answer, what is the question??

Nice idea - but he signed on a permanent deal for Anderlecht after his loan there.

I think he's a little better than that but appreciate the balanced response. He's definitely better than Williams, much more competent on the ball and definitely quicker. I'm not saying he's a star player but would be a solid, achievable target who would improve us. Also feel he's the most...

Not really tried and trusted though, would be a punt, realistically.

Gibson's at the same level (or just below) Michael Keane. He knows the league, he can play in various systems, his injury record is superb and he can play left back too at a push. Best player / only player for Boro last season. Would slot straight in. Any particular reason you don't like him?

Just throw £25-30m at Juve for Mandzukic, offer him £125k+ a week, 3 year deal and whatever else he needs. Get it done, don't worry about whether we'll get a return on it as a transfer (we won't) We need a star target man to lead the line. He's the one, go out and get him and then finish the...

Looking more and more likely we'll be making another Enner Valencia style stop-gap signing up front. Left field shout - Aboubakar at Porto (was on loan at Besiktas) could be worth a punt. But not without risk - never really played in the big leagues. Fast, Strong, skilful though. If we can't...

To take it to an extreme, Gibson-VVD-Keane would be incredibly solid. Not sure we're genuinely in for either though unfortunately.
