Yeah, Keane will partner Williams at the back. Think we will sign another CB though for competition. That midfield 3 will be the main 3 through out the season imo but Gueye & Davies will rotate. Think Koeman is after another DM to offer competition for Schneiderlin. Looks like McCarthy will be going and not sure if Koeman fancies Besic but we've been heavily linked to Dendoncker and scouted him a lot and now there's vague links to Lemina, Sturaro and Banega so he must be looking for that competition in that position.
Definitely think we'll soon start to make serious moves for Sigurdsson. Think Koeman sees him on the left in a front 3 but he can also play as an attacking CM. I know we're in for Sandro and I hope we get him but I'm not sure wether Koeman sees him as the one to replace Lukaku? I actually think he's good enough, he's a better all round footballer but can he come here and get the goals from the off, that's the big question?! I think along with Sandro we will try and sign a target man type of CF to add a bit of variety and also a wide forward for the right hand side. Now we've been linked to Niang and if you believe most media outlets he's close to signing, so is he seen by Koeman and Walsh as the answer to the right wing position? Played there a lot at Milan and did relatively well.
Koeman did find a good mix at Southampton with an out and out CF, target man type (Pelle) with a creative wideman (Tadic) and a wide forward (mainly Mane or Long) and maybe he's looking at the likes of Sandro (or another target man type), Sigurdsson and Niang to give us that kind of mix up front for us?!.....
