Rather spend more and get Willan Jose if we want someone who can use his head.

Serie A is in quite a bit on Bein, and I gotta say, Bacca looks a step slow. He's still pretty solid, though, and EPL defenses are not the best. 20M is a lot, though, for a guy we aren't getting any return on.

Getting Koulibaly would be amazing, but kind of like the idea of a Lemos or Llorente being paired up with a monster like that. Keane and Koulibaly would help deal with Pickfords aerial issues and Pickford's distribution is so darn good it would make up for neither of those two being exactly maestros. Keane can distribute a bit, but it's not Koulibaly's strength.

Keane is definitely comfortable on the ball.

He's not Stones in that regard, but then he can also defend, so....

We're being linked to LOTS to players, and some of these links actually seem to have legs. I'm always cautious to believe what I read but Koeman may seriously be changing the entire team.

Realistically who definitely a future here? (at least for the next 12 months)

Joel (as back up)
Baines
Coleman
Kenny
Holgate
Williams (I say this because I can't see him leaving after 12 months)
Schnid
Gueye
Davies
Mirallas
Lookman
DCL
Bolasie

Question marks over

Stek
Jags
Funes Mori
Pennington
Barkley
Barry
McCarthy
Lennon
Lukaku

13 Squad players who are almost certainly staying, we have then been linked to

Pickford
Rooney
Klaassen
Ramirez
Sig
Keane

And now asking about a reported 6 players from Italy????

We're not going to recruit what we think unfortunately.

I cant take this post seriously as it doesnt have Besic........

But anyway, we arent gonna sign 6 players from Italy, we are talking, if we come away with 1 we will have done well.

25 players? Sounds about right for a team about to embark on 4 competitions

Its interesting to see a few things about this Milan trip...1. It was reported they would be buying one or the other of the strikers, not both. That means likely they are in for just 1, does that mean Ramirez is sorted?. 2. Considering the age and price of Bacca is that a clear sign Lukaku is gone and they want a proven #1, even at his age? 3. With us looking at a lot of players, does that mean we learned from last season? Instead of putting our eggs in one basket, it seems as though we have our top 3 choices over there and we are negotiating with all of them, anticipating some of them will not work out, and quickly moving on to the next to make sure business gets done quickly.
