Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[richtheholtender]

In the clubs own words we've replaced Grealish with the three players and added Ashley Young. So really we're on Ashley Young stronger than last season

[Villan82]

We need to spend another £60-£70m We need a good DM and we need another wide man with pace.

[Rigadon]

Sign more players.

[cdbearsfan]

Well, we still need that midfield sorting.

[PaulTheVillan]

Well, we still need that midfield sorting.

we need a destroyer and a calm head who can control a game

We need a player who is both of those things.

In short term I'd just call Luiz off holiday.

It's not ideal but Everton played Richarlison today and he scored.

Luiz even with his inconsistancy is just a higher class of player compared to Nakamba.

He was our DM from September-January last season and indeed in the good run in to stay up so has shown he can play the position well for months.

I certainly agree there's 0% chance after how it looked today we won't sign another CM in the next three weeks. Just not convinced Ward Prowse is the answer to all our issues there.

For what we'll pay to sign him there's many midfielders in europe who can press and score the odd free kick or indeed score from open play for less than 40m.

Think Luiz is back in training Monday anyway.

Luiz joins back up with the squad on Monday according to DS.

[eamonn]

Why did he get more holiday time than Richarlison?

Not that Luiz would have made much difference today. The type of game he would have picked-up a stupid yellow card or two.

[Steve67]

Luiz and Sanson to come back still doesn’t give us that control and ball winning ability. Both need to play further forward and are not holding midfielders.

[mr underhill]

Top drawer DM and CAM by mid-week please. Its not as if we've waited long for then is it!!

[Villafirst]

We haven't spent any extra money than the £100m received for JG. DS simply has to address the DM debacle NOW!

[Matt C]

The need for more quality in the middle of the park is there for all to see. We know it and I’m sure the club does. Fingers crossed they can address it before the end of the month.

[Small Rodent]

They’ve never reacted in the past when we only had one striker, so why now?
