We have been linked to him again today
Wouldn't mind signing Maher, Clasie and Mertens form the Eredivise before there stock gets too high

He's more of a striker than Neymar but his (El Shaarawy) finishing has improved a lot from last season, a lot more composure.

I've always wondered if Mertens can compete on the bigger stages. He looks a good goalscorer from wide areas, but the technique on his shooting weirdly enough looks quite poor, and he does not seem to be all that quick. Sort of reminded me of Shaqiri in some ways (although always thought that Shaqiri was a much better striker of the ball), and he is struggling to find the net in Germany.
Mertens may work out, but he is a definite risk.
So have Liverpool.

My mind escapes me, who are you eluding to? Are you thinking of Vermaelen at Arsenal? Sorry, long night and I'm foggy.
Edit: I'm an idiot.

We also need some LB cover but I do agree with what you stated.

Mertens would be great cover for Bale and competition for Lennon.
Don't think he would cost too much either.

I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole ... he spent most of his last 18 months with Bremen on the bench due to poor form ... he's also injury prone. He's gone from a talented player to the German version of Shaun Wright-Phillips.
If we want a cheap, tricky, quick attacking player ... why not someone like Nathan Dyer at Swansea?

I'm largely convinced we won't spend more than £16.5m on a player in Jan, so if his price is higher then i'd rule him out.

There are 5 more Premier League games before the window opens and how we do might affect our potential in the transfer market. When we were struggling down in 8th I was thinking it was going to be very difficult to attract any decent players, but if we can continue this run going (and let's be honest we should be capable of it) and get up to 3rd place then I think potential signings are going to look at us and think we're a pretty good prospect right now. The money is surely there to sign a couple of quality players and after the way we stumbled last season in the second half you'd think Levy would think it might actually be worth some investment this time. Well we can hope.

Hmm it's a bit of a non-story. I'd be surprised if we don't ask questions about a lot of players and Eriksen would certainly be a player we've watched along with most other major teams in Europe.
