    Anyone got any ideas as to who could fit in our team
    Who we could actually have a serious bid for and make part of our team

    Moussa Sow is the one that is continuously linked year in and year out and to be honest I've never took much notice of it with it being the annual rumour. Good player from what I have seen but seems to have used us to improve his contract where he is if that media are to be believed. Reckon fee would be around £12m.

    Max Kruse, been ploying his trade with Borussia Monchengladbach, 13 goals and 11 assists in 42 games last year. Could be a valuable asset and with him playing for a team that imo punched above their weight last year. Could try and cash in whilst on a high.

    Theres the kid that Villa are after, Jordan Ayew. Only 23, pacey player however isnt that prolific, last year being his best when he got 12 goals in 29 games. Looking at his time at Marseille he was mainly used as a winger but at Lorient has been deployed as a striker. Villa have just made an £12m bid so would have to match it, not sure if i'd be keen spending that much on a player with not much to show for it thus far in his career.

    An idea for a loan could be James Wilson from Utd, personally can see us getting Januzaj on loan on Deadline day. However James Wilson is young, still a bit raw and obviously coming from Utd will have experience of playing with better players and could use the experience with us to either cement his place at Utd or even become a full transfer if he is told by LVG he is not going to get game time.

    The one that I will probably be blasted for, but personally think after what happened last season we could get him on the cheap (By which I mean about £4m) is Borini. Barely played last season and think it is fair to say Liverpool just want rid now, they accepted a recent bid from Lazio for something in the region of £4m I believe. Whilst a lot of SAFC fans have now got a serious dislike for Borini I personally agree with what he did, not really affiliated to SAFC in anyway in terms of life long fan etc, and he wanted to played in the CL, nothing wrong with ambition imo. However hasnt worked, and we could offer him first team football. A forward three of Borini/Defoe/Lens would be the best we have ever had.


    The list goes on! Just some of the players I personally think we should be looking at with some of the ones other teams are looking at!

    Charlie Austin. And for a loan Januzai. We need 4 more players imo including the 2 loans. We need cover at left bk, an attacking midfielder and a goal scorer at least

    I believe Alonso is available for LB cover.
    He was ok when on loan here.
    I think he's going for £2 million (bbc gossip page on teletext yesterday)

    If we can forget his season with the skunks, Loic Remy would add pace and put the ball in the net on a regular basis.

    We may already have him. Lens. Played as a striker for Dick. We could be looking for a wide man and a CM

    I would like to see us get 4 more in

    If we can shift a few bridcutt, Buckley, roberge, graham/fletcher and marvrias

    I would be happy if we went for

    Alonso
    Dembele
    Lennon
    Jelavic (from Hull) I think he would be a good partner for Defoe and we could get him for 4/5m or a swap for fletcher. Not prolific but a good option

    Could move pva left wing and move lens right or up top. If Alonso goes to Norwich for that much then I be pissed off like.

    I don't think Rhodes has proved his worth yet certainly not at the prices quoted

    Of course pal, the lad scores goals in the championship but I don't think he do it in the prem. The lads overall game isnt good enough but Thats my opinion like.

    I've been told by a mate close to the club that LVG wants Januzaj to be loaned out but only as a duo with Pereira. I can understand the reason for this completely the pair of them need to work together. For anybody who doesn't know Pereira he should feature today vs Barca, the kid is immense.

    With that in mind I reckon IF we loan them out they'll be going somewhere like Sporting Lisbon.

    Good game that United vs Barca

    Januzaj looked sharp, as did Memphis, I think we are all going to have fun watching him this season
