Remy would have been an excellent buy and reports said Levy was all over the transfer at £8 mill.

I think Bony will be better. There is more to him IMO. Smiley Ade and his sourpuss could be a nice combo.
We won't get a striker unless Soldado or Ade leave.

Right.

Griezmann not coming is a total no-brainer. That's why Gards hasn't heard anything & JJ can bat it away so readily.
He's clearly really good, but:

1. He's gonna cost £25m
2. He will probably have options in the CL
3. Levy is unlikely to want to spend £25m on anyone this window without a big sale in the offing
4. Levy is unlikely to want to spend huge on a player untested in the league until those he signed last year have proven they can adapt
5. Strong rumours that Griezmann is being touted by his agent; he could stay at Sociedad, there's a limit to how many £25m purchasers are out there & most of them have filled up on attackers
6. We have options in the squad in wide forward positions
7. We have cheaper & more likely options in the market, if we're buying

I'd freaking love Depay. We could use an option out wide that is direct in my opinion.

Would be an exciting signing. Although tonight the supporting 3 have been very fluid. Lamela looking a goal threat with good third man running.

Can see why they are looking to upgrade Lennon. He seems to require more instruction, getting shouted at a lot. I'm also unsure Townsend will thrive in this style. Needs more straightforward instruction IMO.

From the little I've seen of Depay he looks flexible enough.

to be honest , griezmann would have been perfect for the role lennon is playing .. i am still not sure about depay as he is more raw and can be a hit or miss at this young age

Quite like JJs honestly regarding Griezmann. Not saying I agree with it, just people get caught up in hype, statistics, pro thinking of others who think we may have chance of getting him and build him up to a certain level. Considering how many times Real Sociedad are on live in UK I do wonder sometimes, even more so re: Ukrainian league.

Why does it matter how many times Sociedad are live in the UK? by and large they are on internet every week

I don't know why people think that if a team isn't on the TV no one watches. I watch loads of different leagues and teams

Because couldn't be bothered to list all different ways a game can be watched lol. Point was majority of people have barely seen him/others play.
