Do we have a like to Huntelaar or are we just playing fantasy football?

If we're playing fantasy football it's Pogba...Fuck strikers, I want all the midfielders ever

Depends on how realistic the signing is? If not, Bale or Ronaldo of course ;)

If we can only sign one more (realistic) player, I'd have Musacchio over Schneiderlin.

Fantasy - i'd love Bale back :)

Instead of someone we expect to sign - i'd have Hector Herrera instead of Schneiderlin

Realistic - Konoplyanka

A lwf. Think if Kaboul can stay fit defence isn't too bad. But we need a lot more goals. Townsend or Lennon in that position just wont get them.

Id like us to take a gamble on signing a potential future world class striker. We won't need to spend big bucks to get them in (relatively speaking) and the pressure on them won't be huge.

If we started doing what the likes of Porto and some of the dutch clubs do we could end up with the next Suarez or Falcao for less than £10m.

So although it won't excite many here, i'll put forward the name of Douglas Coutinho.

He's a good fit for the PL, in that he's strong and athletic but also very skillful on the ball.

11 goals in 26 games this year (albeit in the Brazilian league) and only 20 years old.

I reckon £10m max would get him right now. He could go either way, but i reckon worse case with his age we'll sell him in a couple of seasons for £5m. Best case scenario is that he becomes the next great Brazil striker.

I suppose you can't really go wrong for a tenner can you?
