Januzaj I suppose, it could be argued that he has potential, also its not like Dortmund & United are crap clubs which is where he has spent the last two seasons, however I don't think we need players with potential just yet as we have an academy full of them, we need players that can come in and solve our obvious on pitch problems immediately & to replace the players we have let go.
Leno would be a great replacement for Howard (doubt he would come though if we are interested), Timo Horn could be a good shout if Leno wasn't keen. Not too sure or fussed about Begovic coming simply because he's been happy to be a bench warmer at Chelsea & any team he's been at seems to finish mid table. I think Hart is over rated & not the best we could get for value all things considered, so would rather we swerved.
Praet for a reasonable fee would be a great Pienaar replacement & can play through the middle as well as the left, would prefer him to Nasri. Nasri it could be argued has more quality but he's made of glass & would probably cost a substantial amount in wages & transfer fees compared to Praet. I also want to see Mirrallas given a season to shine on the left.
I really hope we can pull off Bony, in the hope he can emulate his previous form at Swansea, I think him & Lukaku would be deadly up top with Bony doing hold up play & flicking balls on for Lukaku to run onto.
Don't agree with the Williams discontent, he's a great centre half & just what we need in terms of leadership, grit & defensive solidity. People are worried about his age, hes 31, peak age for a CB, we get 3 top seasons out of him if he stays fit & lets face it, this is likely to be Jags last season & in 2 or 3 seasons the youngsters we have in Galloway, Holgate & Pennington will all be hopefully full 1st team players. Realistically, Williams is probably the best Premier league experienced CB we can get to come to the club & I'm sure stats would back this up. Not really sure on Bruno Martins Indi, would much rather Williams & Koulibaly (if Stones goes).
Centre midfield bar Barkley, Barry & Gueye is a mess with Besic getting injured & lack of quality, so it's not surprising we are linked with Witsel, Carvalho & Mata. If we were to get even one of those players I'd be chuffed, cant really complain about the midfielders we've been linked with so far & the Gueye deal was a coup. Midfield definitely needs an overhaul, sell McCarthy, Cleverly & Gibson for a start I say.
