OK so we've lost Luke but for a graet fee. Who do we replace him with? Experience like Cole as a couple of people have suggested or will Ron already have a player in mind? Who would you like to see at LB in August?
I'd love to see Ron bring in Daley Blind to fill Luke's shoes. I believe Ron played with his father Danny at Ajax so maybe that link could be exploited?
Luke was a rare bright spot in England's sorry campaign. I'm a bit gutted actually, it'd take getting Gareth Bale back to lift my spirits. But no, not Ashley Cole. Someone young, someone Dutch, someone I've never heard of.
My favourite rumours are probably Timmy Kolodziejzcziashazcjeczjshak and the Dundee United guy. Cheap, reliable and with plenty of potential. We don't need some brilliant, expensive attacking fullback who scores and assists goals, as Shaw didn't do that anyway, and I'm not sure there are any of those knocking about who we could realistically get. The major investment should be on the spine of the team; centre back, striker and a goalscoring attacking mid.
I just want Timothy so that I can see how that bald idiot copes with reading out his name before kick off.
Maybe we'd have finished higher than Man U if he did do that though. lol. I would like a left back that gives more assists. Then Clyne told to cross more and we could well score much more goals.
If Targett is as good as people say a bit of experience for next season could be the answer. Just worry a bit that despite all the glowing reviews he's not even had a cup run out.
Probably something like that. Difficult to know as although it's obviously a Polish-sounding name, he's French, so it might sound completely different.
His dad is Polish, so I imagine it's got the standard Polish pronunciation. His mother is actually from Martinique, just to throw an interesting fact in there.
I would like to see us bring in three players with the money. A left back, a centre back and a centre back that can also cover left back. Going to be needed if Koeman is going to stick with his 5-3-2 formation. Talk over Bruno Martins Indi being available for between 8-10 mil, same with De Vrij. While the left back looks like being Kolo from Nice for 6m, have to say don't know much about him. Other option would be Jetro Willems or Ricardo Rodriguez. Next would be to get shot of Osvaldo and replace him and if Lallana goes it will give us money to bring in two quality attacking midfielders and still have change. It's not ideal what is happening but by the end of the window we could be in a stronger position squad wise. Let's wait until we see who comes in before panicking about next season.
