Can't wait to see how AVB sets us up to play! Does anyone else get the feeling we might really get to see what Lennon is really about...he can't keep hiding behind the 'potential' tag, i'm hoping under AVB, he may really kick on.

If we are led to believe what we read, Walker will be playing as an advanced fullback and Lennon as an almost inside forward. Already that right side looks frightening!

Moutinho was terrific during the Euros. If Luka does go we should definately go for him and would still have enough change left to add to the frontman budget. If, as mooted, it is not Ade (I for one am happy with that) then I would go for Pogrebnyak - strong, relatively quick (quicker than Ade I think) and would not cost a fortune. I know we had Pav, but how many of you out there saw his goal vs the Czecks and thought 'shit why did we ever sell him?' Pogrebnyak has already showed that he can score goals, hold the ball and power past defenders. I doubt Jol would be doing us any favours regarding price but a 15 million bid should do it - meaning we would have both JM and PP for the money we get for Modric - 2 for the price of 1.

I wouldn't touch another Russian player, terrible, lazy attitudes as far as I'm concerned.
