Sessignon has gone backwards imho. He's not living up to the hype. Palace might bid £50m for him once the 'Best Player outside of the Top 6' ups sticks

If we buy 6 or 7 they won't be; that's what we did last summer - it didn't work then, and won't work now. Two (or three absolute max) of quality needed now, not a job lot of wannabees.

Need to scour the Eredivisie for some new gems and tempt them to Stepping Stone Albion.
LOL I think the players in that league will run away if we call seeing as how we've destroyed two of their better players.

Stepping Stone? Who's going to buy if we try to sell 'em on?

Always fancied Shelvey from Newcastle but I guess the "no knob head rule" would put the mockers on that. Shame.

If Mooy, Shelvey, Cairney are our saviours we might as well take the relegation this season, it'll save time.

This. I love how unimaginative we've become as fans, maybe it's spreading from the pitch.

If CH stays and we play the same system next year, I’d take Rondon considering he has a £20m release clause. There’s a very good target man in there.
However, if we get a new manager with more attacking intent then I wouldn’t be looking at him.

He’s 18, in his first Premier League season. Over reaction much?

Correct. Mooy has been shite this season according to my Huddersfield mates. So shite in the worst team in the league. We must rush out to get him

I think a change of playing style will cheer up the players and improve our game.
We need to play to their strengths, not weaknesses.
Under a different coach with different ideas some could play like new signings and good attacking pre season games could make them feel better about playing with more expanse.
The shadow of the last 2 season's tactics will need some shaking off and the playing with fear feeling will have to be exorcised though.
I can't see Bloom wanting any more of this crap and think he is already looking for the Chris' replacement.
Nothing wrong with trying to adopt a Liverpool style of game, especially with renewed confidence.

Mooy, Shelvey, Cairney*were possibly the best players in the Champ the season we came up however they haven't exactly led or influenced their sides to anything in THIS league.
I'd still much rather take Delaney.

I think a forward is just as important as a midfield rethink.
We can’t even break effectively at the moment as there is effectively no ‘out ball’ option.
Murray has no pace, Locadia is uncomfortable as a lone forward and lacks necessary strength. Andone, unable to hold the ball up.
I don’t disagree with any of the names mentioned, but if you have limited movement, target or pace, no matter how good their passes are, the ball will come straight back.

If you’re looking for Summer signings for the Premier League then the priority is the manager. Chris has been immense in getting us to the promised land but his time is up if Tony Bloom wants to push us forwards as a top division team.
After that’s sorted then it’s a clear out in midfield for a start. No pace and no ambition to get forward is a bleeding disgrace in this league. What’s the point of being at the pinnacle if all we do is defend for the majority of the game.
Then it’s onto the forwards, Glenn is an obvious one, plus any additions will need a partner, so two strikers at least required.
Finally, Bruno cannot last a whole game and is now to retire surely, great player that he is, El Capitano I salute you.

The gossip page on the BBC sport site says we've had a £10m offer for Reece James turned down by Chelsea. He's on loan at Wigan and listed as a defender but I saw him play in an attacking midfield role against Norwich a couple of weeks ago and he looked excellent. Similar to Bissouma but gets his shots on target!

Ademola Lookman. Winger
Now playing at Everton but is unused on many an occasion so mainly appears only as sub. I know we have more urgent midfield signings to make but I would like to see our left winger position sorted too. Izquierdo as back up to Lookman would do for me in that area (under the right manager). I feel the right wing is ok, Knockaert and Solly would be flying given the correct management I believe.
So many issues with midfield it’s hard to know where to start. Anyone proven at this level currently in the Premier League would be great but would they come if Hughton was still the manager? I’m guessing not. My only request to our recruitment lot is DON’T go and buy more dross from the Dutch league please, should have learnt our lesson by now surely ��

No idea what he is like as a player but apparently Isaac Hayden from Newcastle wants to move South and is leaving Newcastle in the summer.
I think we were linked with him last year?
Like I said no idea if he would be an upgrade but he has PL experience and Newcastle fans seem to rate him.

Available on free transfers include: balotelli, Carroll, Giroud, dzagovic, Herrera,kruse, mata, Milner. Some big wages, big attitudes but improvement and no transfer free. Imagine if you get Andy Carroll actually fit for a whole season (okay too much to expect say 3 months)
