I'd sooner have the old one. Bolivian marching powder and all.

I think he'll be lively...score goals for you.

Would you rather be single or be with the ugliest woman in the world?

Don't be so negative...

Single.....

Will it be like the Fellaini signing?
No news all day, then an announcement at 11.01pm of a huge signing?
Fingers crossed!

Brighton buying Babacar looked a useful player when I have watched him, worth a gamble at £16 million hope we have someone lined up

At least one good thing has come from today, that Weasel Dave Seed has had a whinge about being abused for posting his transfer BS @orly

I have to say, if we keep Barkley I'd be as happy than if we went for some of the names at Centre forward. It would allow lads like Rooney and Sandro to play exclusively down the middle and at times possible Sigursson and Klaasen too. I am not overly concerned with our attacking options. You also have Mirallas if he stays (but if a bid came in I'd love him go irrespective) as well as the Croation lad, Calvert Lewin and Lookman as younger players keen to make an impression. For me that is significant numbers and we are by no means as short as we were last season.

There are two issues with this. Firstly it lacks a standout player like Lukaku. I don't think we could ever have attracted a lad of his calibre. We have to gamble on lots of lads upping goal tallies which I think is very possible. The bigger concern though is that the balance may be wrong, or at least it may not be what the manager wants. Numbers wise we look fine, but he has consistently said he wants an experienced target man. I wonder what the implications of failing to deliver on a key demand he has for a second season running are?

Also at the back we look far more stretched to me. Missing out on a centre back would be a bigger concern for me. I'm amazed we haven't looked to add another quality centre back, someone like Ben Gibson for example, or De Vrij.

You clearly havent paid attention this season.

We dont struggle in defence, we only struggle up top, thankfully Koeman sees that.

Anyway, if we dont get a striker Koeman will walk before Spurs.

100%.

Best power walk, the fat tit!

 

[ToffeeTim]

At least take a punt Walsh or else why are you even here

 

[VentureBrosEFC]

Any news on a striker yet?

^ there you go

A beautiful, cruel lie.

No doubt, has Dave Seed gone into hiding yet?

 

[Joey66]

Why all the drama? We've signed some quality players this summer. Even if we go with what we've got we can have a decent season. Folk are getting a little carried away with their expectations of what a bit of money can do for a Europa League level club. Improve on last season, improve the squad again, onwards and upwards.

We sold our leading goal scorer haven't replaced him e.g. The deal with Spurs and Swansea for their 2nd striker back up has not taken place untill Swansea get the Bony deal over the line we have an abundance of midfielders a pop gun attack as @davek maybe rightly predicted?

Another one bites the dust.
