As much as I'd love it to be true, I just cannot see there being any truth in the VVD link. Saints are adamant he won't be sold and I'm sure if we did make a bid, it would quickly be matched by another CL club.
So what do we do with the lukaku money? Do we spend big on his replacement or do we fill out the rest of the squad where we need it? It looks as though we are going to bid for siguardsson. We still need another striker alongside Rooney, preferably a one with a physical presence, so I'd go for giroud. That would leave us with LB to strengthen. You can't help but be impressed with tierney of Celtic. He is of the necessary quality to challenge baines this season, with the intention of taking over fully next season.
