If we were to get Zaza as well, we would have the foulingest front trio in Premier League history. Bring on the ankle-breakers!
 
Forster
Cedric Champion VVD Betrand
Hojbjerg
Davis Tadic
Boufal
Redmond Long

With Stanciu, Austin, Rodriguez all on the bench. It's not bad
If we line up with just Davis and Tadic in central midfield I'll be leading the calls for Claude's head!!!

Flicking back to 4-2-3-1, here's a possible...


Forster; Cédric, Fonte, Van Dijk, Bertrand; Højbjerg, Romeu; Redmond, Boufal, Tadić; (new man or Austin/Long).
 
Don't want to piss on your parade but other than on here I'd never heard of him before, if you'll forgive my ignorance. Why such a hype around him?
 
My trusted sourse tells me the signing of Boufal is imminent, he doesn't let much out some I'm pretty confident for what its worth.

Watford considered they were in a good place to sign Boufal, but reportedly won't be drawn into a bidding war with Saints. Good. We may be paying too much....who knows how a player will turn out....but sometimes you have to. And shortly before the end of the transfer window may be such a time.
I'd say with European football and our current model, we are a far more attractive club for Boufal. Just want it over the line!
