If we only bring in one more player for me, it has to be a quality centre back, two players a right back, three players another goal scorer.

Balotelli is still available, I would love us to take a gamble on him.
I wouldn't. Hell no.

Ballotelli would be like Marlon Harewood without the laughs.

We are not in a position to be gambling. We should forget about Ade as well and just get in Rondón, he bangs them in for fun.

Everyone is right to warn against Balotelli, he would be a massive and expensive gamble
Which could cost us big time

However I would still love it

That's made me laugh. Thing is every manager who signs him thinks they'll be able to tame him.

I did see an interview with him an Noel Gallegher (I know) from when he was at Man City. He didn't come over as arrogant but a really nice kid. Maybe he just needs to keep up the image.

Daily Mail now has us in for Aaron Lennon at £5 and going back to Albion for Lescott at £2m.

I'd be happy about both if they actually happen. They also say Adebayor deal has fallen through.

Ha got the same contact as me then.

I struggle to think of a striker currently playing at a high level who I think would be a worse recruit than Balotelli.

It would at least be interesting and it could be fantastic.

However, that's only on the same basis that the lunatic £1 accumulator I put on each weekend could make me £1,000.

It never does though.

We still need a RB, DCM, winger and a proven PL striker .

Unless you're thinking Charlie Austin, I don't know who else there is available in the latter category.

Yes, an upgrade at right back over McCafu and Bacuna would be nice but I don't think that's a priority.

I have honestly never got the fuss over him. He has had some good moments but then so have most players.

He has never scored 20 goals in a season across all competitions so he isn't exactly prolific. He isn't particularly quick nor is he that good in the air, he rarely scores spectacular goals, he lacks professionalism and is a disaster waiting to happen.

Pretty much the only thing he excels at is rolling the odd penalty in.

It's not THE priority I agree. Replacing Benteke is the priority. Followed for me by a big classy DCM and then a winger and finally a RB.
