I wonder if it'll be a case of waiting until January for Zouma, seeing as though Rudiger is out for at least a couple of more months yet.I was thinking the same with Zouma, hope I’m wrong but maybe that’s why we have gone in big for Doucoure & Zaha. As we will be loaning the RB & CB. Just hope it’s not one of Utd’s
If we got ZahaNot ridiculous, only Arsenal, City, The [Poor language removed] and maybe spurs have a better attacking options, It's up there.
Only issue we have is depth, but I think when we're in europe that will be addressed.
We need to shift Walcott, Baines and Lewin next season.

This is a very good point. I'm a Silva fan but if we get Zaha and Zouma in, for instance, and he's having that spell like he did in the middle third of last season then he's gone.
Whilst he will want top players, it starts to pile the pressure on. Can he handle it?
Yep thats a proper harsh comment but if it s justified then so be it.
You have Delph in that ahead of Gomes?If we got Zaha

The quality of play would be incredible, up there competing with the best in europe
But we're realistically looking at 8-6 until the central defensive positions are sorted.
If we get to sixth, surely the defenders will come knocking.
I'd say there's some opportunism with Doucoure. It's why I don't think we will "move on". I'm not sure the manager wants another midfield player, I think at this stage he wants Doucoure and believes he is attainable. Given his age and profile, he will come straight in and be a first team choice. He will be a big improvement on what we have. I can see why Silva is keen. I suspect some encouragement has been given by the player hence why we are considering it.
You can only imagine they are confident of having a buyer for McCarthy (lots of firm interest reported) and Besic. Maybe Schneiderlin too. Seems an awful lot of movement but it's not inconceivable.
It suggests to me Zouma is off the cards too, so we are probably better getting to grips with that reality.
Thing is if we spend all that its a cup we need or top 4, just getting 6th and into Europe isnt really success. However my point remains, this window is showing you dont need Europe to attract playersIf we finish lower than 8th this season then it will have been a very poor season. If we spend the rumoured £100m+ over the next 48 hours and still finish lower than 8th then it will have been an unmitigated disaster and many, many, heads will roll.

If we are able to sign Zaha then we will have a forward three of Richarlison, Kean and Zaha... a lot of pace there but apart from Richarlison I am not sure how much defensive work they will do.We will have Coleman and Digne as well... more pace and attacking threat.Can’t see the midfield shouts personally. Gomes Gbamin Delph Siggurdson all expecting first team football. Schneiderlin and Davies still trusted by the manager. Bernard potentially dropping into number 10. Besic and McCarthy still not moved on yet. I can’t see why we’d want to add another first team player to that. I’m all for squad strength but there’s going to be 20 million pound midfielders sat on the bench if we’re not careful.
Zaha liking kean’s recent post of his first training sessions u love to see it
