Really not sure about all of that. It insinuates that Oscar is only likely if Sig doesn't happen. Hmmmm - something either doesn't smell right, or we are not nailed on for Sig. I personally think that Sig has already happened.

Moutiniho. Sounds good but they want over £30m by all accounts and we would never pay that and he is more of a DM isn't he? We are already strong there.
Goal scorers must be the priority. Really like Gifi or whatever his Icelandic name is. As above don't fancy Sturridge. He is the epitome of a Premiership Billy Big Bollocks.

Sig has already signed, has met with AVB (last week) - its Hoffenheims fault the deal hasnt been announced.

Perhaps it's something to do with Sig's Nickname, which i believe is "the Grouch".

can't play both together.

Or, Oscar looks unlikely and Sig is very gettable. Anyhoo, I'd be pretty happy with Sturridge. Bit of a 'tood on him but channelled properly, that can be a strength. He's quick and strong. Need to improve but with the right coaching he will.

GFTS. Be wide right of a front 3. Him and Lennon gives us some depth if it happens. He put in some very performances under AVB. Still hit and miss but that's because he isn't that "top tier" player. Will improve though and is young.

I would love to see some competition for Lennon, I really would, but again I think we could do better than Sturridge. Also bearing in mind that Sturridge isn't going to come cheap given that he is a) an EPL player, and b) Chelsea's player.

It all boils down to how much money there is to spend and where the priorities are (forwards!!) but IMO wide right is a priority position as Lennon hasn't been up to scratch for me.

Moutinho and verts would make this an amazing window, let alone getting sig / oscar. Don't know much about oscar but peeps on here saying he's got real potential but sig is maybe more achievable + prem experience.

Moutinho would be an awesome addition, on the up! Wonder whether rumours of united being interested is porto's way of jacking the price up after euros...

Sturridge on the other hand... Not exciting, like wellbeck, played the odd blinder and was consistently the star performer when out on loan at a PL team... Hope AVB can coach him to improve then...

All this ITK / news pointing at a Defoe exit? Don't see how Defoe can fit into AVB's 4-3-3 system....

Oh indeed. chelsea aren't going to do us any favours and it might not even happen. Just that I'd not be agin it. Would much rather Oscar or Dzagoev. Again, not sure how feasible they would be either. We'll know in 2 months I guess.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD I'm excited. "Buzzin", as I believe Bentley would say.

They would make an amazing Window...

If we had any decent strikers at the club.

Am I the only one confused by the ITK - we are going after 2 good but pretty expensive midfielders, or one plus an opportunistic purchase of Sigursson and with Sturridge (young striker mainly played on the wing at Chelsea) but no ITK on any other strikers, yet they are the one position we are really short on.

When do we start prioritising the position we must fill ?
