Players who might improve us

For random CB's who've never been linked with us, I'd go for Victor Lindelof, he's been absolutely outstanding since coming into the Benfica team showing a composure and defensive solidity that is ridiculously impressive for someone in their first season. Was excellent for Sweden U21's as well last summer when they won the Euro's. Far more impressive than John Stones and has been doing it at a higher level in the Champions League. €30m release clause apparently, so a bargain by our defensive standards, just need Super John to put in a good word
Rumours we could be about to nip in before Jose ;)
 
Alderweireld
Not been a direct link as such but Football Leaks (who have a reputation of being reliable regarding contracts) are reporting that his buyout clause is just £25m. Surely that's an absolute no brainer if true?

that short black lad for Everton is immense. Plays like Kante but I honestly think he has more to his game than Kante does. Seen him a few times and every single time he's been the best player on the pitch. Had Pogba in his pocket and was half the size of him. Wish we sign him.
 
Always thought Alderwereld looked good when at Southampton, and not seen anything to change that opinion. If there is a buyout clause in his contact, could be worth a punt.

There needs to be a buyout clause otherwise Daniel Levy will be looking for £100 million as a starting point !

It's all a bit vague at the moment but apparently he has a £25m buyout clause that will be activated in 2019 if he doesn't renew:

It was claimed a few days ago that it was £30m and one currently in effect but that was followed by apparent denials from Spurs that any of their players have buyout clauses. Spurs are being a bit slippery with this one and there seems to be more than a touch of panic in the way it's being handled.
 
Shall we also beg Pep to get Messi as Kun is off form too?
Difference is that we know aguero actually has talent regardless of his bad patch and can be the most lethal player in the PL.

Bravo, albeit hasn't been here long...has proved absolutely nothing other than he can pass a ball well under pressure. I Hope that changes obviously but I just can't see it. Even in De gays first season at the scum he was a good shot stopper looking past how much he flapped, this guy of ours has nothing going for him. How many of our rivals would have him over the likes of courtois, Lloris, Cech etc? He wouldn't even make their benches mate.

Has nothing going for him - Stop talking bollocks

Gueye,

Very good player, had similar stats to Kante last season. Even bettered him in some of them I think and that was playing for Villa who were woeful. Would have definitely signed him as a defensive option to throw onto see out games (I guess we have Fernando)

Not good enough on the ball I don't think for Pep, a lot of clubs missed a trick by not signing him though. Went for 7mil I think (relegation release cause). Very good business from Koeman who rarely does bad signings.
