You mean football247 and 101greatgoals are not reputable sources?!?
Now that the season has ended, I'd like to share my thoughts on possible transfer targets or present my wishlist of players who IMO would improve our team:
In:
GK: Pickford - I think it's quite clear that we need a new goalkeeper. We are linked to Pickford, and I'd be quite happy to sign him. He made the second most saves this season and impressed with some spectacular saves. He is still young, so has time to improve and holds some resale value, and with a move to bigger team, he could establish himself in the national team.
LB: Andrew Robertson - Sadly Baines is getting old and his career is coming to an end. I think we need a new left back who can rotate with Baines and fight for a first team spot. I'd go for Andrew Robertson. He could add some attacking threat, which we missed this season. He crosses well and scored 1 goal/2 assists. With 23 years, he still can improve his defensive work.
CB: Michael Keane - Altough we kept 13 clean sheets, we need strengthening at the centre back position. Keane impressed me this season and with his height he could deal with crosses. He had second most blocks and second most clearences. In the past under Roberto Martinez we had massive Problems with conceding goals from corners and I think Keane will fix that.
CAM: Gylfi Sigurdsson - This season we lacked goals from midfield. Sigurdsson has assisted 13 times this season and additonally scored 9 goals. It's possible that Barkley will leave us in this summer, and I think Sigurdsson would be the perfect replacement. He is also a specialist for corners and freekicks. Maybe I'm wrong but I think he also started some games as left midfielder. I wans't really happy with our width this season.
Forward: Dries Mertens - Can play as a striker and left winger. Had a great season at Napoli and scored goals for fun. I think he could be attainable for around 30 Mio. He is always wanted to play in the Premier League and this could be our chance to sign him.
Lukaku will probably leave the Club this summer, so we need a new striker.
Christian Benteke - He's a target forward like Lukaku, but with better link-up play. Scored 15 goals this season and assisted 2. His past with Liverpool may hinder a move to us.
Kasper Dolberg - Scored 16 in the Eredivise and 6 in the Europa League. Think he's also a target forward, but haven't seen too much of him. He'll probably stay at Ajax this season.
Sandro - We are heavily linked to him and there is a big chance he'll sign for us this summer. Looks like a good spanish prospect. Scored 14 goals and assisted 5 in LaLiga for Malaga.
Possible Line-up:
----------------------------------------------------------Sandro / (Mertens)-----------------------------------------------------------
Mertens / (Sigurdsson)---------------------------------Sigurdsson / (Dowell)--------------------------------------Bolasie / (Mirallas)
------------------------------Schneiderlin / (Barry)------------------------Gueye / (Davies)---------------------------------------
Baines / (Robertson)------Williams /(Jagielka)----------------------------Keane / (Holgate) -------------------Coleman / (Kenny)
-----------------------------------------------------------Pickford / (Robles)---------------------------------------------------------
or
----------------------------------------------------------Mertens / (Sandro)--------------------------------------------------------
Sigurdsson / (Mirallas)-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Bolasie
------------------------------Gueye / (Besic)------------------------------------Davies / (McCarthy)------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------Schneiderlin / (Barry) -----------------------------------------------------
Robertson / (Baines)------Williams /(Jagielka)----------------------------Keane / (Holgate) -------------------Coleman / (Kenny)
-----------------------------------------------------------Pickford / (Robles)---------------------------------------------------------

I just googled hymen images in an attempt to put together a witty reply to this, I've lost my appetite and my desire to ever have sex again.

Money is the reason why.
The big clubs have been threatening breakaways for ages. They use that threat to leverage conditions that make it harder for small teams to break their monopoly. FFP wasn't brought in to protect teams from going bankrupt imo. It was brought in to stop smaller clubs threatening the richer teams by being bought out by a wealthy benefactor.
It was the big clubs that got extra money awarded to the teams in the Champs League, made them make it a group stage tournament, so far less likely for rich teams to get knocked out and then got the 3rd place teams a place in the Europa league. Rewarding rich teams that fail with another stab at winning something.
The biggest teams in Europe use their influence to force UEFA to make it almost impossible for them to fail against less wealthy teams. It suits UEFA to have the biggest teams stay in their tournaments longer as it gets more people watching on TV and yields greating returns from tv and sponsorship.
The big teams in Europe actually wanted to impose automatic qualification for their teams in the Champs League. Shows you how much of an unfair joke football has become. It's not about sport anymore, just money.
hmmm so its true we're after walcott and ox
Koeman wanted the Ox for the last 18 months at Southampton.
As I said, Koeman has wanted him for a number of windows due to his versatility and would see him as a welcome addition to the squad.

I've always been a firm believer that the 4th championsleague spot should go to the FA cup winner.
..it's probably easier to mention a player that we are linked with and not post the click bait. Perhaps even mention the source.

Please check with me for Blammo criteria
He's been one of Arsenal's best players these past few months.
I honestly think he's been pretty crap this season. Thought he was a lot better last year.
Would still take him in a heartbeat like. Don't think it'll happen though.

It'd be a great idea if they decided to do that, would make everyone take it more seriously and stop teams from fielding weakened sides.
They love him there, so he must have been doing something right.
Agreed, he'd walk in our side, but they'd want way too much money for him so I'd leave it.
Most of those are decent, but Benteke is a rich-man's Arouna Kone. He's a "No" from me.
