    Is that one more attacker overall for signings this summer or just one more in that part of the field. Be worried if we didn't sort out the defence.

    Aside from Lazar and Origi he thinks we will sign another attacking player, a LB and a CB.

    Interesting comments re Markovic maybe not applying himself 100% in training.

    Looking for an upside, at least there is some headroom for improvement.

    There's talks that they are looking for another GK option as they are not overly enamoured with Mignolet

    Griezmann would be niiiiiiiiiiicccceeeee.

    I'm going to allow myself to get excited about this but deep down I know I'll end up disappointed.

    A bit like life really.

    I don't think my holiday is doing me much good...I have too much time to think about things.

    BUY GRIEZMANN FFS.

    If we had a choice who would your prefer Shaqiri or Griezmann?

    Offer £75m + Aspas for Griezmann. Ten years on from Alonso's arrival from Sociedad, and subsequent Champions League victory. It's destiny, Knex told me so.

    Downing was a menace in training. He kept hiding all the footballs in the bins so no one would make him try to run forward with them. Charlie kept kicking him.

    Gerrard is key to our style of play quick counter attacking to make the most out of our pacey players.There is nobody in the league with his passing ability from deep. The reason we concede so many goals is because the manager promotes positive play and we never sit back and defend a lead like most teams in the league.At old Trafford despite being a couple of goals up Rodgers continued to make positive changes this obviously shows the team he has huge believe in them and I feel the positives outweigh the negatives which is undoubtedly more goals conceded. When the time comes I've no doubt Rodgers will stop playing Gerrard when there is a better option or a need for a better option.I don't see it being this season.

    From what I've seen of them I'd prefer Shaqiri.

    I have not seen that much of Griezmann but I know more knowledgeable posters regard him highly..

    Always liked Shaqiri since his Basle days..

    Well that would sort LB anyway but we could do with a RB still...

    According to Graham Hunter Di Maria is available for €50 million or so, which will allow RM to push for James Rodriguez.

    Why not push for Di Maria?

    Incidentally Hunter is no big fan of Sanchez. Di maria he reckons is a much better footballer and when asked about Sancehz vs. Pedro, he reckoned Pedro much better also. Which would have been my opinion of the two also prior to being linked to him. No doubt a very good signing for Arsenal but not anywhere near the player some think him to be.

    Graham Hunter talks out of his behind more often than not in fairness.

    James Pearce at the Echo seems to think we will go for one more attacker, hopefully it will be someone who can do a job when Sturridge isn't there.

    Would far rather someone who would compete with Sturridge when he is there.

    Yup, invariably it's his opinion as opposed to reporting facts about what has or is likely to happen. I have a very rational dislike for him.

    People say that about almost everyone who writes/commentates/whatever on football. In this instance I agree with him.

    Hunter favours any player that comes through La Masia. Sanchez is a better player than Pedro no doubt about imo.

    I dunno about much better, but certainly on a par.
    I don't know what the actual stats are but my impression is that Sanchez is a better dribbler (which is an aspect of play we've obviously lost with Suarez) but he's slower and a worse finisher.

    But I don't think Barca want to sell Pedro (obviously with good reason).

    Di Maria would be a great signing. He's proven he has what it takes for Real season after season and they keep on buying players. Don't know why they don't just trust him. He wouldn't replace the goals but he's an absolute assist machine.

    He's a bit of a git, but at least he doesn't bite people.
