After listening to what he said yesterday,needing to get to know his players,he might not have made his mind up yet,on players we think are destined to leave,Yaya,Bony,Mangala,Nasri and the transfer window does not shut till end of August ! We might only get 3 or 4 before the season actually starts,then get a few more in after first few games,I knew this summer with Euros being on that clubs will be doing a lot of business after the season has started ,we could be one of them
 
kroos or thiago are a must for us i see us trying to intice teams out with a bit of tika taka then throw the long diagnal in behind them! for that u need world class ball players and we dont have that in midfield they cant pass 10 yards never mind 30 or 40 could yaya possibly play that role? and would it be a big gamble to trust him for a full season?

I want kroos but thiago would be a great 2nd choice.

it would be underwhelming to be honest if that was it

gudongan is excellent but for me sane and nolito don't rip up any trees (i know a lot disagree with me).

Stones is good (could be very good)

Our forward options without Kun would be a huge downgrade ( Nacho and Nolito - one a kid and one an attacking wide player)

Still hoping for Txixi to pull a surprise out of the bag (suarez or aubamayang would be my choices - happy with either)

I agree with that analysis and would say that Gundogan is also a huge risk, looks like we have been trying to do deals on the cheap, I'm hoping that's because we are after one big transfer which would really make a difference.

Did it with De Bruyne last season, depending how hard the selling club wants to hold onto the player I can see the same situation happening.

Could be some debuts happening for the first Derby of the season after the international break.

Yeah, on the basis of Soriano's quotes that sounds about right to me. Never thought 8/9 signings in one window was likely tbh.

Think Toure could yet stay though, and have a hunch we'll go for a left back rather than a right back.

Cant believe people are talking about being underwhelmed at "only" spending £150m! Well, I can but some expectations just aren't realistic. At least three of those signings will go straight into the starting XI, and you can't just rip apart a team overnight. Evolution, not revolution and all that.

Still think if an opportunity, like say Kroos, presented itself then we'd go for it (as with Otamendi last summer) but I wouldn't pin all my hopes on it.

I've never had high hopes of getting the number of additions that I would like, around 7, but even if we were planning on that kind of number, I seriously doubt Soriano would admit it; in fact I'd be appalled if he would flag something like that up. If I was in his shoes, I wouldn't even admit to 5 possible signings: I wouldn't put any number out there other than how many we have signed.

Evolution nkt revolution should always be the approach but the club's failings, such as they are, mean that we are in need of a mini revolution if we want to make the most of Pep's arrival sooner rather than later.
 
It's got to be Kroos, simply a world class act.

Thiago a great player but simply to greater injury risk wise when paired with Gundogan.
