I've got a hunch this world class number 9 will be Robin van Persie. In the twilight of his career and apparently wants out of Turkey.

We need someone who can run like one not look like one.

he wouldn't be as slow as Pires though!

If the Hernandez deal is dependent on Hull signing replacements, how would you feel about letting one of our younger strikers go there on a season long loan? It gives the player game time he wouldn't get here and experience of premier league football for when we (hopefully) get back up.

Or should I shut up and go back to sleep.

We have been asking for a right back and the good Doctor delivers!!  Good work by RDM and Mr Wyness so far.  If I can be greedy and ask for a pacey forward and a creative midfielder, this will be the window of dreams*



*Terms and conditions included.  Remember what happened the last time we signed shitloads of players!!  I hope this is different, certainly feels it.  We actually seem to look like we know what we are doing!  Welcome Ritchie.

The priority now is a striker,impressed with the fact that the problems with the team are being addressed.
Now get rid of the parasites.

Only time will tell with how these new players perform, but surely this has to be one of our most productive transfer windows ever.

I think a quick striker and our incoming dealings are done for the summer.

                     Gollini

De Laet  Elphick  Chester  Amavi

            Tshibola  Jedinak

  Ayew    McCormack  Grealish

           Gestede / New Signing


Not bad at all and better then I was expecting.

Bacuna

RHM
Cissokho
Okore
Gestede (with new striker in)

Plenty of talent and experience there.

Federico Viviani the latest name

Im sure these websites make it up

I'd be really happy with him, watched qa few serie a games last year and saw verona twice and he was comfortably the best player on the pitch, great range of passing, great delivery from set pieces and knows how to finish.  If you look at his record across all his loan spells, etc he's scored a good number of goals for a defensive midfielder and he does get forward and support the attack.

A mobile striker would complete what's been an excellent transfer window - good deals done quickly for better players with better attitudes in exactly the positions where we needed to strengthen. Well done to Dr Tony & all others involved. If we could offload last season's wastrels while we're at it - Richards, Agbonlahor and Lescott - I'd be over the moon
