    Why I think Nacer Cahdli could do a good job. He's classed as a winger but I can see him playing #10 for us

    A step in the right direction. Well done to our owners (I think that's the first time I've said that since they took over!) <applause>

    Yes it is but imo they still yet to prove their intentions are in the best interest of the Club and not to recoup their money spent on buying the Club.

    The acid test surely will be if he goes, what of that fee will be reinvested in replacing him, I don't expect it all to go into the transfer pot, but I would like to see a healthy portion of it.

    and me , we still need at least a R Back either to replace Naughton as 1st choice or at least as back up to him, Rangel can't and shouldn't be expected to fill in if Naughton gets a long term injury.

    There are a lot of clubs, quite slow this year and not done much business, apart from Everton. There is time, just hope we have targets identified and we are working tirelessly to make them happen.

    If Siggy goes for £45m plus add-ons, I would hope that the Yanks give Clement at least £36m to invest in the squad.

    We will need to replace Siggy
    We need at least one winger
    We need a right back
    We need a another decent centre back

    So far we have basically financed the purchase of Mesa by selling Cork & Gomis

    Problem we have is the speed of this deal is not up to us.

    Its not over yet by a long shot. What I see is Everton continuing to be as sly as they've been so far. I see them cooling things off and their press going quiet for the rest of the summer. All the time in the background though, they'll remain in contact with Siggy via his agent making Siggy mope his way through the summer. Then, just as the season is about to start, the scouse press will erupt as Everton sneak back with an offer between £30-40m to try to snag the by then extremely unhappy Sigurdsson.

    Its win win for Everton, either they get Siggy on the cheap leaving us with a huge hole in our squad or they leave us with a destabilized player and an edgy changing room just as the season is about to start. Either way our preparations will be grossly disrupted and we'll be starting the season off balance.

    The only way that's not going to happen is if we put a 'SELL BY' date on Siggy and if Everton do nothing before then follow it up with a very loud and public NOT FOR SALE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES notice.

    Looking at the squad that's gone to the USA a centre back is not likely to be on the agenda. The way we played last season unless there is a big change in tactics by Clement we don't need another winger. We do, need another right back and unless Clement thinks Mcburnie can step up to the mark another target man up front. I make no comment about a Siggy replacement as I'm sick of the whole sorry saga

    Personally, I think we do need another option at right back.

    Similarly, at centre back - not convinced about VdH or Bartley - hope I'm wrong.

    As for a winger, it's disappointing to think that Routs & Dyer - players from our first season in the PL - remain our best wing men. There are times when we will need a Plan B and/or Plan C - a fast, tricky winger may provide that.

    As for upfront, I'd prefer Bony on loan to McBurnie.

    Which I expect it will , they're not in any rush and will possibly be biding their time just to stick two podgy scouse fingers up to us then BANG come in just to make it more difficult for us to get a replacement in
