I remember when we were linked with cech, hazard, essien and the like under moyes before they went into the big time.
Some players like Tielemans it would have been a no brainer to sign 2 years ago when I mentioned him here and we supposedly have scouts scouring the globe so you would hope Walsh commenting that he wants to bring in the best young talent is true.
Absolute 1st signing I would be making would be Ryan Sessegnon and negotiate a deal now with fulham if they go up or not.
2nd would be the new lukaku, tammy Abraham
3rd would be Youri Tielemans who I imagine wont be in a hurry.
3 absolute superstars there.
I hope we go for a top young keeper as well from somewhere who costs actual money.

I understand what you are saying but there is an old saying that money talks... If Mosh and the board want us to be a top four team they need to start throwing out the big bucks. Sure a player is going to want CLF but if they see a team knocking on the door of CLF and they are being offered a big contract, it is a win/win
Where is it that lukaku said their is not much difference money wise mate?
Also if you look at the money we have spent in the last two windows. including managment changes we have spent well over 100mil. Compared to us making under 60 mil im player sales.
You are championing Brighton players mate. Players who will more then likely just go straight back down versus players that are vying for 6th or 5th place in the premier league. Next season they will conceded more then we have. So can you honestly say there cb and goalkeeper our better then ours?
What do you mean the money wasn't there? We spent about 4 million less then what he went for on a 19 year old from charlton. Fact is depay played 33 games for man united and scored twice and look crap to bang average for most of his games in the prem. Yes he is having a good spell at lyon scoring 5 in 9 but we dont play in the french leauge.
Same with gabbiadnani for the money who was looking very good till he got injured but he has played less then 10 games for the saints so lets see where he is next season before we crusify the club for not buying him eh.

The whole "enticing big players" is somewhat of a chicken and egg argument.
It comes down to things we can control (contract terms and positioning of the club) vs. things we can't (bids and offers from rival clubs, player and agent reaction etc).
I would like to think that the relative disappointments last summer were largely down to Koeman and Walsh being new and appointed late, particularly in Walsh's case) to their roles. Added to this they both had to adapt to and deal with Kenwright and Elstone so inevitably there seemed to be an overlap and confusion. That simply cannot have been conducive to a more impressive hit-rate in signing the players we wanted.
Clearly, there are a group of elite players and perhaps many in the immediate tier below, that are out of our reach.
I don't accept though, and never have, that we are not an attractive proposition to that very large pool of players who would offer better than what we have currently.
I hope the problems of last summer were not lost on Moshiri and that this time around, we have streamlined our operation and are already well down the road in trying to get signings in.
Spurs were able to sign Luka Modric well before they had UCL football. It's players of that ilk - on the rise but perhaps not quite the finished article, who would improve themselves and us playing in a better league with more playing time, that typify the sort we have to attract.
Not every player is like Witsel. Yes it is largely about $$$ but good footballers are ambitious too and we should applaud that and not fear it.
We will be back in Europe, have a well-known and respected manager, fanatical and loyal fans, and a new majority shareholder who has brought improvement and vision and is looking for more. We have plenty to offer.

Would all be great signings and the kind of players I hope we're going to target.
I don't get to watch as many other teams as often as I did when I was younger but from what I have seen of those players they all look really good.
Watched a highlights vid of Abraham today and he looks like he'll become a quality player.
