Oh please Ashley young come back that would be amazing!! This is great news that we re keeping tabs. Truly performing well  last season make up for departures! Come on youngy'

As good as that would be, surely that one has to filed under 'highly unlikely'?

He's good up there for at least one more year, if I were him i'd stick it out because he's knocking on now. Overall though his returns for them have been poor. Spuds or Everton for him after if no new contract materializes.

[Steve R]

Even without further signings we are going to start this season with a stronger team to pick from than the one that started the last one. Assuming Amavi is as good as he looked against Swindon and Gueye lives up to expectations. It's a bit early to start worrying.

How on earth do you work that out? I can't believe you're serious. The current squad scored 12 league goals last year. 12.

I was talking about the state we are/were in going into the season.

When we started last season Benteke, Kozak and Okore were unavailable, Gil, Sinclair and Cleverley had yet to arrive and Grealish had yet to show us  what a player he could be.

The starting XI for the first three games (seven points) :

Guzan, Hutton, Cissokho, Vlaar, Senderos, Westwood, NZogbia, Delph, Agbonlahor, Richardson and Weimann.

We may not have looked too good so far in pre season but the team we can put out still looks a few light years ahead of that one.

[Malandro]

Ashley Young? No thanks.

Agreed Steven Rose. Amavi looks very good indeed, while Gil, Grealish and Sinclair offer us good attacking options far beyond those we had at Stoke, a game we won comfortably.

I don't like the idea of Gestede at all, especially at the prices quoted. He scored a few a goals last season but his record apart from that is pretty average for  26 year old.

[Ron Manager]

I have woken  up to the excellent news that we may be in for Rudy Gestede and Cambiasso.
That would be progress in sorting out our immediate problems.

We need a presence up front Clampy. Gestede is very good in the air and can hold the ball up well for others to come through.

We do, I agree but spending £7m on someone who's had one decent season at the age of 26 is more than a gamble.

[Matt Collins]

I'd rather Adebayor than Gestede

Not that convinced by Ayew tho he's another I don't really know

We need  more characters and leaders. We're very very weak on that front at the moment

[frank black]

Blimey that Ayew family are talented

'Ayew is the son of Maha Ayew and Abedi Pelé, nephew of Kwame and Sola and brother of André, Ibrahim and Imani. All male extended family and siblings are current or former professional footballers.'

32 goals in 60 appearances since joining them permanently according to good old wiki. From what I saw of him in the televised cup games last year I like him but it's always a gamble with the step up from the championship.

[cdbearsfan]

I wouldn't mind him as a replacement for Weimann but if he turns out to be the replacement for Benteke I'd be massively unimpressed.

[brian green]

Gestede would be a huge punt, which is probably what we would go back to from Guzan.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Prepare yourself 😉

[mr underhill]

Embolo would be a punt too as would Oulare. Everything's a punt really but would rather have Gestede as a target man than Adebayor. with two pacy people (Rolan for example) playing either side with width and pace it could be ok.
