Do we really need another striker as some have suggested? i was under the impression that Chadli can also play as a striker, not forgetting Willian can aswell in a front 3! Lamela i believe can also play LW/Striker, and as previously mentioned AVB is looking at players that can play in a number of positions, i dont really see the need to buy another out an out striker to be honest, especially if we get Lamela. :)

A new left back is a priority we are very light in defence and injuries and suspensions will expose us

I still wouldn't mind getting a young one to develop behind Soldado, or one with a different skillset to compliment Soldado. Something similar to the skillset Benteke has.

I really want Coentrao. I think he's a fantastic player. Would really really finish us off nicely.......after willian & lamela obviously aha............and quite like the look of this vlad kid ha : )

I would go as far as to say we need a LB and CB

And I would go so far as to say that two days ago Willian and Lamela was a pipe dream even for people who play FM. We're gonna be fine. These guys are on top of things. Check the Vlad thread.

we have a couple good young strikers, Coulllibay springs to mind, we were all calling for him to get minutes in the first team last season, but to be fare if Ade leaves i can only see a player who can play across the front 3 signing, most probably Lamela.

I'm sorry guys. I earlier stated that he was on 6.6m from the only link I could find.

But I just typed Coentrao wages into Google.

That came up with a mere €2m. So it's all a bit confusing.

But if that number is correct, he's only on 32k a week. And that seems way more likely than the 108, 80 or 60 we have thought.

He was young coming from Portugal. Even Madrid aren't going to give him 6.6m a year.

So this doesn't constitute anything other than a glimmer of hope that things aren't as dire we are worried they might be.

He's on the dodgy tax deal though, IIRC.

Still lacking real quality at Lb Verts has said he doesn't like playing there either and hoping we upgrade Dawson
