ASDFC101 9 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 This Spanish invasion on teeside could do wonders. Might be looking at a very good squad if we get these targets and I'd expect us to safely survive and more if we got those. Link to post Share on other sites
"KM" 1,656 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Every department improved apart from up top! Saving the best for last ;) We'll smash our transfer record to pieces on a striker I reckon. I said survival should be our priority next season but now I think it's more like top 4. :D Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy 140 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Subotic would be a great signing! We seem to be strengthening all areas of the pitch.. My only concern is still up front, RW and RB. But the way it's going we'll probs just go snatch Lewandowski, Messi and Ramos to sort this out. Link to post Share on other sites
Dan1234 1,048 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 We're going to end up spending 70 million this summer aren't we.... Bit of a difference to scrapping around a few hundred k for carayol. Link to post Share on other sites
LukeR 44 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Hummels is left footed, Subotic is right footed. Hummels is right footed. Link to post Share on other sites

We need RB, RW and a strong striker, then it will be hard to pick a weak area in the team. Strong foundations were already in place and now an even stronger build taking shape.

Easy Tiger :D Think we might need 2 rb's, not too keen on the thought of relying on Nsue as cover in the PL, despite how well he came on last year, a good LB for competition with gorgeous, along with those others you suggested and I think were set for a good season.

Borodane 6,246 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 193 Bundesliga games and 26 CL games. That is solid and a massive coup for a club like ours. Link to post Share on other sites
pikerman 1,090 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 After spending most of the last three months out of the country I feel I have re-entered a parallel universe, Valdes and Subotic, with Van Persie talked of as well. Has this really happened in 12 short months since we were discussing the merits of Walsall strikers and Crystal Palace reserves, wow I need to pinch myself very very hard. Love valdes by the way one of my favourite goalkeepers of all time, a legend. Link to post Share on other sites
J.T. 640 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 All this publicity is great. Even if we don't sign the likes of Subotic, RVP, Falcao, Negredo, etc, it's going to help our chances of signing others in my opinion. Think of the likes of Praet, Ziyech, etc who may have been put off us simply due to the stature of our club. Next thing they see Valdes signing and the likes of those named above being linked. Suddenly we become a much better looking prospect! Link to post Share on other sites

fleetwoodsmog 6 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Jonathan Taylor of the gazette has said both us and Subotic are keen and there's a good chance of it happening. I'd guess given that they've reported the story it is much closer than they're letting on, will we see him at York? I guess that was what fleetwoodsmog's meeting was about then. can I claim that as an exclusive? :D Link to post Share on other sites
