I thinking for CBs Koeman may well go with what we have, if he can identify a LB that can cover CB to that's what we may see (Lescott type). We have 5 CBs already some maybe getting older but they can still do a job.

I heard that cucu can play RB and lb so can cover there. For me I would like a striker over a cb as priority.

Yes I have no problem with us getting Cucu in to do a job, I also see a striker as important, but having Sandro and Rooney does Koeman? I was thinking Rooney may well play behind strikers/striker but getting Sigardsson in that probably wouldn't happen. But Im still hoping for a good striker I think we need more as there could be a lot of games this season.
 
I honestly don't think we have/willing to spend the sort of money required to make those bids in all honesty. Siggurdsson at £40-45 million is likely to be the most money we'll spend on a player - the elite players that will cost us £60-70 million I just can't see us being able to afford.

The shame in that is if we signed a Van Dijk or a Belloti is that players like Giroud then stand up and think "I want a bit of that" that's why Moshiri's biggest mistake has been not getting that statement signing in, who knows it might have even kept Rom for another year or so...


Think this summer is about bulking the squad out with good players of a level good enough to try and help us push on. We've signed 5 players (not including Onyekuru), 3 for good fees and we'll be making our money stretch this summer and making a few good investments. I'm sure another 2 or 3 will come in, maybe the likes of Sigurdsson & Giroud for good money and possibly another for good money and that'll be us.

But come next summer we won't be going out and trying to sign 6-7, 7-8 players, it'll more likely be around 2-3, 3-4 and the money will be there to make a big statement signing in money terms imo. This summer is about putting the money up and spending well but also making the money stretch to be able to improve the team/squad sufficiently. If we go out and spend £35-40m on a player, £50m on another & £65m plus on someone else, then we're not going to be able to sign much more are we, even with sales, IF we can get more players off of our books?!....
 
His name alone screams gash. Avoid and look elsewhere imo.


We can't go spending £20-30m on every player ffs mate....

He'd be a younger squad option to add competition. Williams is more than good to go for another season alongside Keane. Mori is injured, Holgate is inexperienced and Jags is knocking on. Get someone like this Tisserand in and are options for another season atleast are fine imo.

Come next season and I'm sure we will look at getting another quality CB in to partner Keane long term.
