I can’t see anything in these Doucouré links. Would cost a fortune and we still have a centre back, right back and winger to buy. We’re about even with our transfer dealings to date but that’s before we drop £30m on Kean.

When silva mentioned doing something in the middle then he might have been talking about someone like lemina who could be available on loan.
 

I very much doubt we'll sign another five if you include Kean. With the different cut-off in Europe, we can't be sure who will be gone by the end of the month to offset the expenditure and it would probably be too much of a stretch financially anyway.

I can see Silva's logic absolutely and we do need that many but if you want four then you ask for five. I think he would be quite happy with getting in Kean + RW / CB / RM. I would absolutely take that now too. What was interesting was his comments about midfield which throws a joker into the pack but what position would he then potentially sacrifice?

We have a huge few days ahead, even logistically the execution of so many transfers in such a short timeframe is challenging but at least they have form for it. But as things stand I would only expect Kean to be done ahead of TDD, and we'll have to try and get at least another three in on Thursday.
 

Think we'll get Kean and one more.

As long as that one more is either a starting winger or centre back, AND we get rid of the majority of the money-grabbing useless deadwood gets in our squad, I'll consider it a massively successful window.

Do think we ideally need Kean plus two more who are capable of competing to start games, but we're only playing one game a week so we can easily survive until January if we don't get them all in.

Kean
Zaha
Zouma
Dacoure

Have I missed anyone off?

We're definitely not signing Zaha - that's just wishful thinking. With Zouma, although we're still interested, it seems highly unlikely that Chelsea will let him go. So we're looking at another winger, and another CB, and we have little clue who Brands is targeting.
 
Id be a big Doucoure fan and banged the drum for him on here a lot. I would be happy with the signing, but two thing strike me:

1) We are overstocked in that dept and have spent a lot of money in central midfield this window. Now ive been saying all summer annd year that a big physical presence in central midfield is a priority for this summer, i was however content with Delph, very content with Gbamin, really surprised we are considering Doucoure as well.

2) Doucoure also plays best with a midfield anchor, hes not a specialist defensive midfielder like Idrissa he plays with Capoue at Watford, hes more a no 8.

If McCarthy, Besic, Schnederlin go - this makes sense even then we have a lot of central midfield options.

I’m optimistic that Brands will pull this off.

However I’m concerned by Silvas comments yesterday. I hope we don’t end up with a Moyes style ‘we’ll go with what we’ve got’ scenario.
