Pickford
Sessegnon
Keane
Van Dijk
Tielemans
Kessie
Dolberg/Dembele
Can't see us going after both Kassie and Tielemans Zat. Only one of them and even then only if RK decides to sell Macca. Think we'd stand more chance with Tielemans personally. We also desperately also need a creative goal scoring AM who is also a set piece specialist. Not sure we'd have the budget this year to stretch to a keeper aswell, but Pickford would be the one I was after if we did.
 
Apparently Madrid are looking to offload Isco for a cut price, I'm sure he would have a number of Champions League suitors but these are the type of players we should be going for. Sell him on the ambition of the club, keep Lukaku and Barkley and throw as much money as we can at him
That I could fap to. Be our Mata/Silva
 

Pickford
Sessegnon
Keane
Van Dijk
Tielemans

Kessie
Dolberg/Dembele

Yes to all those in bold Zat

the others - Kessie - will end up with 4-5 CL clubs fighting it out over him this summer
Dembele - BIG risk for someone who has had one good season in Scotland - we need proven players - not gambling on a young player whose stock is overinflated - he'll end up at City or Chelsea
Sessegnon - no idea on the lad whatsoever - or which one of the two you even mean we should go for
Pickford - BIG gamble getting a keeper who looks good for a utterly terrible team - their normally getting pelted all game so look better than they actually are - number of keepers have done that - got a big move then looked distinctly dodgy in a better team where every little mistake is scrutinised rather than being offset with the other 10 saves they made in the game


Also love to see us get Siggurdson in on top of the ones listed

All depends on who we are in competition with for those players, what we have to spend and who we let go to bolster that amount really though

'Realistic' ones are Tielmans - crap league and not broken through Internationally or proven enough to walk in as a starter at a Chelsea/City etc yet
Keane - Seems we are in for him - maybe the teams above are setting their sights on more 'high profile' signings - lets hope so
Dolberg - see what i said about Tielmans - a lot of Hype but won't walk into any CL team as a starter yet
Van Dijk - would love us to get him - and really hope we do, but honestly - think he will be one of those high profile signings that City/Chelsea are fighting it out over - Koeman is the only real big advantage we have going for us really in getting him - plus the injury may have made others cool on him a little bit

Either way we need 2 top cb's, someone to support rom (if he stays) and likely cover or long term replacement at left back and 1-2 who can play atttacking mid/wide and chip in with a decent number of goals
 

Spurs have been getting linked with him for about 2 years every window now, can see him at City though, as the replacement for Silva who isnt getting any younger

This.

Though as the OP said it may be worth at least going for him to signal our intent, albeit it may be better to just go for Sigurdsson like.

Bugger signalling intent mate, we should only go for players we will get this summer, not messing around chasing pipe dreams, major problem will happen if we prioritise some 'statement' signing this summer - we need to go and get our business done early and really strengthen the first team and squad, THEN yeah try to put the cherry on the top of the cake by all means, but if we try to chase some marquee name and get the run around/used again by them, then we will just see a repeat of this summers mess.

We have either moved on or have agreements/put players in the shop window who we want to clear out the squad - early in the summer we will have a really slimmed down squad with little 'dross' left in it. Plus will have 'conservatively' raised around 25-30m (8m Cleverley, 10-15m for Deulofeu and unbelievably around 8-10m for Niasse) - enough to get one of those players signed without factoring in money we are gonna spend or any other sales to raise more money...

Perfect situation to go into the Summer and get deals done very early

This.

I'm fully behind the club and have every faith in Mosh, but lessons need to have been learnt from last summer.

We did well in Jan and brought in two players who I believe improved us (not that I think Lookman is better than Del, but for whatever reason it wasn't working out with the latter).

Now we have to go out and get 2-3 top-quality signings done early (first 3-4 weeks of the window) - which is going to be key anyway, but especially if we're in Europe.
