If true, that's not good enough. We need 3 minimum.

It's on Sky Sports' Transfer Centre webpage.

Love us to sign Austin and play two up front .. Didn't see game today but all reports was lukaku did well with Kone upfront with him . Also would prefer Williams from Swansea as a 3rd centre back

I want to double like this.

2 up front with a diamond behind, as played by many clubs around Europe now would be very attacking and suit the squad of players we have perfectly, if we could add another striker.

If that striker was Austin I'd be over the moon. He's easily the best option of those realistically available to us although I still think there a chance he'll end up at one of last seasons top 4.

Obviously there will be comparisons to Ings but I've always thought Austin is on a completely different level to him.

Edit: I do appreciate him pointing out the importance of evaluating academy players before deciding on transfers, even if it's nonsense.

Rumours are Bobby has told people he's after an experienced centre half, that's before the Stones leaving talk and for me Dann was his 1st choice, but that ship has sailed now.

I think Williams is a very realistic option. I don't for one minute think he'll be expecting to be 3rd choice & he'll get loads of time here. Our back 4 is lacking a leader. They're no where near as good as the sum of there parts and as good as they are individually, collectively they are under performing.

They are lacking something and a leader like Williams would sort that out.

Expect the two he's on about to come in the new couple of weeks. Probably try to get a loan or two closer to deadline day

I would say next to no chance of getting Williams

"Two positions to strengthen"

Has to be CB and playmaker role.

If he can get another attacker and keep all others we can do well.

So...2 in is the plan

It must be.

But I'm 99% sure Pienaar is finished and Kone is, well, Kone, we absolutely need a centre forward and maybe another winger.

Not just rumours - he said it in an interview with the Echo at the end of last season. Said he was looking for a CB who had experience at the highest level to come in and push Stones and Jags.

Spot on that. As for '3rd choice': the two starting positions should not be anyone's to hold as of right...including the captain.
