In's & Out's

During the current transfer window, what do you guys think we need to bolster the squad in order to a) establish ourselves at Wembley b) Maintain our progression as a team not only in the PL but also in Europe and c) allow us to move into the new stadium on a high?

In terms of players coming in, I would be happy if we kept Walker, however if it is money he is chasing, then he can go if that is his motivation.

In terms of replacing him we have Trippier and Walker-Peters, the latter having just had an outstanding U20 World Cup. However I think if we could get Ricardo Pereira in, then he would be an outstanding replacement for Walker at half the price. He is also better at crossing and defensively.

We are also allegedly looking at Ryan Sessegnon the Fulham wing back, who would also be a tremendous addition to the squad, and it is said that he is keen on moving to a club that develops younger talent.

In midfield I think we need another play maker in the Eriksen, Silva mould.

We have apparently put in a £25m bid for the Polish lad, Piotr Zielinski. However Napoli want £60m So that might not happen!

More realistically Silva of Porto would be a good acquisition, even better would be the Brazilian Rafinha, who is currently at Barcelona and available for around £26m.

I would also hope we can get Lemar as I think he would give us that pace we need in the last quarter.

Outs: Well I think Walker will go, followed by Sissoko, Fazio and Bentaleb.
I don't think Janssen will leave unless we sign someone like Dembele.
We should also remember we had plenty of goals from Dele, Son, Eriksen & Kane last season.

Factor in two definite "new boys" for next season in Rose & Lamela and I think we will have a very strong squad indeed.

Now I appreciate we might not get all or even any of these, but I have a feeling at least two-three of the names I have mentioned will come to us before the season starts.

Oooops, should mention that we have decided not to take up the option we had on N'Jie.

I also think we should not be looking to have more than 1-2 African players in the squad, because of the disruption caused when losing key players right in the middle of the season every two years, when AFCON is played.!

Lloris was quiet in Lemar, he was asked about him and he said he can't talk about it or something along them lines

I'm not too sure on Rafinha. Possibly because of his irregular game time but he seems to be a bit of everything but not really excel at anything. He's decent but is he worth £26m? Not too sure. Hard not to compare him to Thiago at that age. There were rumours of Gameiro until the Atleti transfer ban was upheld.

Sessegnon seems to be a done deal by most accounts and we're looking at Lemar - as are Arsenal. Douglas Costa is seemingly off to Juventus.

Sissoko and likely Wimmer can join N'Jie, Bentaleb and Fazio in saying their goodbyes.

Yet he eeks out a combined £60m for Mason, Townsend and Bentaleb
