Talking about a 6th option when we're not in Europe and with a manager who has his favourites (i.e McGinn) seems luxury/waste to me. You've said yourself that two (Sanson/Nakamba) appear to be superfluous and Tim will struggle to get many starts with JJ, Meatball, Luiz and Kamara all ahead of him. If we're bringing-in one worth £30m+ then surely a couple of the above players will have to leave.
Until there is a defined style of play and we see the current squad delivering to their potential, I wouldn’t be spending anymore money. SG needs to prove he can work with the gifts he already has before splashing more cash.
Nope that’s flawed thinking from a club management point of view. They either back Gerrard - and fans can debate the merits of that - or they don’t, in which case he shouldn’t be in role. But you don’t end up with this weird quasi position going, we know we have areas in the squad that are weaker than they need to be but we’re not doing anything as we’re testing you before we spend any money.

Roberto Soldado. That's who De Thomas reminds me of.

There's a bit of competition to happen before that, and it's all very complicated with the Barcelona move. But if things fall into place on all sides they SG would win over a lot of fans if we get the Chelsea guy. As its Steven's pull that would get the transfer over the line.

Ishmael Sarr off to Leeds. Bloody good signing that.
