...this might be old news but we've agreed a deal with Doncaster for the sale of Conor Grant. That's another one out;

van Dijk is already proven in the Premier League, has worked with Koeman before and as you said would be a statement because of his profile.

Yeah It was all mentioned before, other than they had gone up which I didn't know about
Good hes managed to get a good move there.
Hopefully after him and clev we see a lot more on their way
Not really buying into the premise we need a RB that can play but then be Coleman's back-up. We've got absolutely no idea how he'll recover the his injury so let's go buy a quality RB that's arguably better just in case.
Van Dijk & Schneiderlin would be the start of a very strong spine for the team.
I look at Spurs and there goalie, 2 centre backs, 2 centre mids are a really good spine, probably the best in the league
..I think the January window was an indication that we'd done some leg work in advance, I would hope we've already been in discussions with clubs and players agents. My hope is that we know where we are with key targets and bring one or two in early.
Much depends on outgoings. Regardless of the Lukaku contract discussion, I think it's likely we will keep him for another season unless a club meet our very high valuation. I'm not convinced RK is totally concerned about Barkley.
If we signed van Dijk while retaining Rom as well, which is of course a big if, then we'd only need a top keeper to have a very strong spine.
Once that is in position then arguably you only have to focus on improving the secondary positions and adding depth. Lots of ifs and buts though!

Exactly the point I've been trying to make when there were a few on here last night saying it's all about winning more games and therefore attacking players are more of a priority!
You don't win anything without a good spine & that starts with GK, CB

I'd actually say all those are realistic bar Lacazette

Think I read Manolas has agreed a deal with someone already
The Lukaku/Barkley situations are already ready well known and established...... just not by the fans or it appears the supposed itks.
Koeman and Walsh know exactly which players they need to sign and how many, the budget will have been decided a long time ago.
I would say that deals in and out are already agreed and I think Rooney is one of those.
I think Lukaku is staying for one more year , contract or no contract.
I think Barkley may well be sold as RK has never given any inkling that a deal could be anywhere near.

Hart and Mahrez are hugely overrated imho. Mahrez looks a one season wonder, whereas Hart surely is no better than Joel.
The rest through I'd be very happy with.
