Not a rumour as such just my thoughts on good transfers for the summer. Our squad will need beefing up considerably if we are to maintain our league performances next season. We're in the best financial position we have been for a while + new Prem money + Money saved by loaning, but I still don't feel chucking £25+mil at 1 player would be the Ideal solution. I might be wrong?
What do you think of my ideal selections:
FREE's
Mame Diouf - Hannover - Wages should be fine and looking a very good player now
Jack Colback - Good backup / replacement for barry
Gareth Barry - Wages could be a problem but he seems to fit the bill
Phil Bardsley - cover for coleman - leader
Loans
Gezza Dela - One more year if possible, loved the guy at times this season and we need more cover in those areas
Thorgan Hazard - Having a great season in Belgium, possible loan to buy option
Buys
Josip Drmic - £8mil - Looks quality great age for martinez to teach the football masterclass
Michy Batshuayi - £8mil - As Above
Bolasie - 5m? I think this guy could become a top premier league player. His pace and control are frightening.
Outs
Pienaar - Not sure what's happened but he's on big wages for some1 who is never in the squad
Lukaku - Shame but I've based this list on him not coming
I'll probably get smashed for some of these but we will need at least another 7 players, that's 9 including those two outgoing players
Only one of those players is over 30 and many are under 25.
Oviedo will be like a new signing as well.
I am really excited about the future as I'm sure we all are.

{Ed025's Note - well i certainly am leon...by the way, you never mentioned cleverley mate!,, :)
1.) Your right and I have been one of Clev's largest Critics but if. No what am I saying. Championship player
2.) U will struggle to be in the mix for top 6 next season mate :-)
{Ed025's Note - you wish...enjoy your exile mate...it could be a while before your back...hopefully.. :)
3.) Go back to your own page red pretty sad comments to be fair
4.) If we going to stuggle god knows where you lot will end up. You lot say we going to sign this and that as if its your divine right to get who you want.your as appealing as moysie in a beauty pagent.:)
5.) I don't understand why people keep picking Coalback even if he is free, he struggles to get into a poor Sunderland team so why we would want him even as back up poor player, Ki maybe?
6.) I think T, Browning will be back up to Coleman next season. Matinez says he has been impressed by him and thinks he is ready to come into the squad.
7.) Obviously I understand everything is a matter of opinion, but I personally think that Colback is worth a punt. No, he's not going to set the world alight but he would make a great addition to the squad as a free player. He is versatile and would be fine to play 15-20 games a season, against lower PL teams after travelling around Europe.
Barry is a must, providing his wage demands aren't ridiculous. I think that Lukaku should be our number one priority. But failing getting him I'm not sold on Batshuayi. I think that 8 mil is a lot of money to risk on a player unproven in the PL. Arsenal and Spurs can afford to waste money on a gamble, we unfortunately do not have that luxury.
Agree with the original posters loan ideas, would be great if we can get either or both of those, not sure I'd bother with Bardsley, would rather bring a youngster through. Don't rate Bolasie, had a good game against us though, and any player with pace will always cause trouble I suppose.
Wouldn't write Pienaar off just yet, I agree his wages are slightly high but I think he's useful cover and he's only looking a bit stale next to the 3 far quicker wingers we have. A move behind the striker as cover for Barkley may suit him?!
Depending on the fitness/performance of Distin and Jags I'd be tempted to just promote Tyias Browning as cover for both CB and RB (as Bobby said he is one for next season).
My major priorities would be a young pacy winger, even if it's on loan, 2 defensive mid and I would spend most money on a striker and get a back up on loan. I really hope Roberto pulls a rabbit out of the hat and signs an unknown who turns out to be class, but either way I trust him. COYB
8.) I agree with the free deals, maybe leaving out Bardsley but would be decent cover. I would also take Lescott on a free.
I would take deulefou again. We could do with another winger, possibly Ince. I would love Griezeman but want to stay realistic.
I would like M'Vila also and maybe Rodwell on loan with view to make permenant.
I would like Lukaku, but he gets lost sometimes and his ball control needs improving. I would want to sign Bony and Remy as an alternative.
But it is hard without knowing if we will be aprticipating in the CL next season.

Kone confirmed. I personally think he's a bargain and will give us something extra. Delfeou, Alcaraz & honda/fer and I'm a happy happy BLUE.

Gerard Deulofeu on loan to buy anyone. {Ed025's Note - is he the guy from green card?.. :)
1.) 'Loan to buy'. He's generally regarded as one of the hottest prospects in Spain, heir to messi and future of Barcelona. There is NO CHANCE they will let anyone sign him.
2.) Isnt george depardieu the guy who pissed off from france to move to russia :-)

Ed's, any news about the trialist Daylon Classen.
from the brief supertube video's (i know they don't mean much) and the statistics (mean abit more) he could be a very tidy squad player, maybe more seen as I once thought the same about pienaar many moons ago.
Any other gossip for me Eds, fingers crossed for Europe, and toe, and shoe laces.
Leon EFC {Ed025's Note - he looks good to me leon, but have not heard how the trial went mate..

I agree with some of what you say here. especially regarding Stones, him being my first pick at CB. he reads the game so well and for his age is incredible.
Against Wolfsberg he looked amazing on the ball, the perfect player for the system.
BUT. We surely can't compare his performances to the ones of Jags and Dist though.
Chelsea, Arsenal vs West Brom and Wolfsburg (who managed to rifle in an almighty amount of efforts, from range albeit)
I want him to play as many games as possible for his development, there's no1 who would doubt that he will be a star but don't write off jags yet over some performances against west brom and wolfsburg.
BTW Thursday was just amazing, me my son and my dad all loved Europe and couldn't have wished fora better start. can't wait for the injured players to come back.
Happy blue

I've got no idea of value or what you would take for the signed shirt. My dad would love it. Not sure if my mother would (depending on size).
Either way I am interested so would appreciate contact a contact email or number if you are not giving it to charity.
