Personally, TLF, I'd be happy to have all 3 - Llorente, Bony & Abrahams.

I would, but would prefer another creator of chances, its all very well having 3 goal scorers in the team if we cant create chances for them and to be fair, Routledge and Narsingh are not the players to create anything.
Its what we're all thinking Valley 
But he's just an employee now, bending over and doing what he's told to do buy his paymasters
Absolutely agree - Clucas & Bony are just 2 signings. We still need at least 1, probably 2 more - 1 of whom must be creative!
KINGSLEY SET FOR HULL
An update now for you on the deal which will take Sam Clucas to Swansea from Hull...
The deal has been agreed in principle and we've learned it will also see Swans full-back Stephen Kingsley moving in the opposite direction to the KCOM Stadium.
Kingsley joined Swansea from Scottish Championship side Falkirk three years ago and has made 19 competitive appearances for the club.
He is one of three signings Hull boss Leonid Slutsky wants to make this week.

As a direct replacement for Siggy I agree Phil, he's a downgrade but if he's part a package of players including a new striker and RB then bringing him in is not so bad imo.
Siggy value was over inflated, his worth being around £30m mark. In this market though Everton had to pay well over the odds, a further £15m over the odds imo, to get their man. This market is so ridiculous that there is no value in any deals from premier league or top European teams imo. So we have to start looking elsewhere to get value, starting with experienced players i the championship. Clucas is experienced and he helped beat us, with Siggy, three times last season.
Coincidentally we've just agreed a deal of £15m plus further £1.5m in potential add-ons for Clucas.
If that's true we've still got £30m left from the Siggy bounty. Bony is up for grabs at £13m, we have to make a bid for him, leaving us with a whopping £17m for a quality RB. Its got to be this way imo, if we are going to make the sale of Siggy worthwhile for the team.
Watching with interest Phil
I agree, but we need a creative Number 10, I'm not knocking the lad, matter of fact he has a good left foot, and has progressed his football from non league very well over the last 4 or 5 years and came through the Leicester Academy I think, just the fee is ridiculous and his experience limited at this level, for £15 Million we have been mugged.................
Loan or permanent, if he goes we need another LB as well.

Its a crazy world right now Phil that's for sure with Bony valued at only £13m. I'm shocked no one has gone in for him, maybe he has ridiculous wage demands too.

Is it in todays market, the next year will tell if we have been mugged or it may be we are trying to hang on to him next year as he has had such a good season. But I call mugged is the Baston deal, who we now no wasn't good enough and gave us nothing for the money. It make Cardiffs Cornelius signing look ok. Then we don't even sell and try and get something back.
I am amazed that we are letting Kingsley go, he's quality, I wonder how much we will get for him?
Typical Jenkins deal!! Makes no sense to let Kingsley go, if we do then we need another LB.
I've heard rumours that Clement is not a big fan - not sure if that is correct. Not one of my usual sources.
However, if this is true, then it would suggest that there is more than a grain of truth to that rumour.
Also would support the media speculation about another RB - Naughton could cover both RB & LB.
That's just ridiculous if true never, so ridiculous it just cant be true.
If so then we're going to be diagnosed anorexic very soon. Vapour will have more substance than our ghost of a squad.
What happens if Naughton and Olsson both go down injured? We could move Monterro to LB and hope Rangels rheumatism doesn't get any worse. There you go, sorted, absolutely nothing to worry about.
Oh, don't say that!!Watch Olsson get injured!.........................
