Italian media sayimg we are in pole position for alvaro gonzalez from Lazio I believe it is. didn't train with the team on wednesday.

Different type of player but I would rather lulic.

Need a CB not another midfielder!

Where should we finish

I can't see it happening but I feel we still need another striker. we have sold 41 of 54 last seasons goals and our only 2 real options are long and pelle. why not try for remy.

You mention we only have Pelle and Long as options but what about Gallagher? He's had limited chances but when he's been on the pitch he's looked very promising and hasn't really put a foot wrong. We need to utilise our academy, we have one of the best.
In an ideal world I'd like to see us still bring in a CB, RB, wide midfielder and striker but realistically I think just a CB and RB. Even with Gardos now in we look short at CB as we are missing a solid, influential figure there ( Vlaar?)Jos isn't up to this level, gardos is an unknown, jury still out on Yoshida and Fonte is decent but not exceptional. If Clyne gets injured we are stuck at RB too so hopefully we can get Byram from Leeds. An attacking mid would strengthen options and a promising young striker to push the other three particularly Pelle and Long.
It is heartening that we have brought a few in but the squad has merely gone from anorexic to thin! It's a long old season, a strong squad is critical 3-4 more before the end of the window please.

Completely agree with the Remy point, going to Liverpool for 8.5 mil it would be an absolute steal. Although I could imagine his wages being huge

Although this guy is a midfielder, he's also played a fair bit at RB for Lazio - So you can see RK mindset here. Potentially one player to cover numerous roles.

I agree Legod, we need to keep bringing through our talented young players, it looks as if we've got a terrific generation of players coming through, if you think about Shaw, Chambers (both gone but still), JWP, Gallagher, Reed, McQueen, Stephens, Turnball, Target, Sinclair, Rowe, McCarthy you'd think all have the potential to make it into the first team in the future from one age group! Maybe we'll utilize Stephens at CB this year, McCarthy at RB and then use Rowe/Sinclair at RW, we already know that Reed, McQueen, Isgrove, Gallagher, JWP will first team regulars anyway

Remy failed a medical with Liverpool. I am sure this would have some bearing on his price.

Loads of you were posting about squad numbers earlier. No. 20 which was Lallana is still free so I think there is more to come. No. 14 also free, not sure but I think the last player with this number was Dean Hammond. Any ideas guys?

Great fan of Gallagher. he needs a real confidence boost by scoring lots of goals in the reserves and some cup activity. The next big thing!
