Supposedly Suarez will be the next new signing
I'm convinced he'll be signing for season
Now we have signed Coutinho I think we will attract bigger named players now.
Well on the itk front rumours all the talk is the big signing is going to be Suarez and the other strong links are these players

Left Backs under consideration
Calvin Bassey
Aaron Hickey

Central Defenders scouted and touted
Joe Gomez
Duje Ćaleta-Car

Midfielders strong linked and scouted
Boubacar Kamara
Kalvin Phillips
Yves Bissouma

Striker
Luis Suarez free transfer

Can see one from each area being signed with perhaps 2 from the midfielders section and for sure I'm convinced Suarez will be coming on a free transfer makes sense all round to have the quality finisher and recognised name coming in along with those other additions will be very strong transfers and improve our squad area and depth.

Being linked with a move Calvin Bassey to provide competition for Digne.

Shirley we can do better than that?

No, we need him because the diamond formation is forever.

I don't think we need to be a big spender in that position.

Well we need to target someone

John Percy has been busy tweeting tonight. Bassey or Hickey as competition for Digne. Calvin Phillips and Yves Bissouma linked in squad revamp. Carney and Ashley offered new deals.  It’s all happening!

I can't see those tweets?

From a published article by itk  Percy
"Gerrard is preparing for a major revamp of his squad this summer, with Leeds midfielder Kalvin Phillips his leading target.

Brighton's Yves Bissouma is also on Villa's radar, after a £25m offer was rejected in the first week of the January transfer window, and the Mali international is widely expected to leave the club.

Villa are also targeting a new left-back to provide competition for £25m defender Lucas Digne, with Rangers' Calvin Bassey and Bologna's Aaron Hickey under consideration"

It's become pretty clear and has been said for several weeks that Kalvin Phillips is our number one midfield target. Plenty sources suggest that and also suggest be willing to pay top price. I think probably more than any other rival.

Garry MCalister was at Elland road the other night watching on.
I think all that needs to be arranged is the fee dependant on which division they are in next season.

Well we do need to get in another left back as we don't keep Matt Target and not 3 left backs so be all about the Bassey no treble. I'm all 'bout that bass 'bout that bass, no treble!

We could save ourselves twenty million quid by throwing the Burnley game...

What about a back-up RB/competition for Cash? Unless we think KKH can step-up.

Don't need it, hardly ever misses a game and he's easily been our best player this season. ;)

Forever Young offered a new contract
Joe Gomez probable to come in as centre back and would do a job at right back
Kessler also has scope like you say
And how could we forget Callum tekkers Chambers!

Phillips seems to be playing out the season resigned to leaving regardless.
If Bielsa was still there maybe but he needs to be playing better level otherwise his standard will continue to drop as it has done. I welcome him and it's been a long pursuit as Deano nearly ensnared him when we were promoted but the story goes when Kalvin told his nan Villa had been in contact she said give it one more season with Leeds to get promoted... And they did

Interesting that we’ve started to Count Bassey* as one of our new Targetts.


Could see us bringing in half a dozen players this summer, including Phil. Maybe backups for Digne/Cash, couple of combative midfielders, and someone like Suarez on a free who’d maybe add a bit of experience and be someone Ollie and Cam could learn from.

"Ideally you want everything to fall into place straight away but it doesn’t work like that. It is a process and you need some patience and luck along the way."

Good quote from Gerrard that's worth bearing in mind in transfer windows where we're getting frustrated at a lack of perceived action.

Perhaps ironic coming after completing the Coutinho deal before they season is even over, I appreciate.
