There are a few out there who are looking at the signing of Zouma and Gomes as spending but standing still.
I'd be happy with signing them and then getting 2 more quality loans for a striker and RW.
Brands and Silva have their heads screwed on and they will unearth some gems this summer.

Think I'd take that as well Smit, though I hope we can finally get Onyekuru at Goodison next season see what he's all about and if he can make it in the premiership.
Definitely need a striker though.

Good shout mate really hope we get a quality striker in.

I'd be happy with both Gomez and Zouma signing deals and a couple of loans as long as we don't loose any of our key players.

9th with no chance of 7th maybe equalling Alardyce but with finally (perhaps) the defence coming together I would say Zouma more the priority with a backup LB for Digne. Schneids the two latest games he has played looks like the one we signed. Gomes is a good player but others are after him and Barcelona may look for a bidding war. Concentrate on CB, LB, Striker and I believe we already have the ability in other positions.

I think Baines can be a capable back up for Digne next season.
We'd have to pay big money for someone equal or better than Baines. Spend the money on Gomes.

No chance of equalling Allardyces debacle. We already have more points, more wins away, more wins against the top 6, more desire, more improved players, more reasons to be cheerful.
Oh, and we actually want to win games.

{Ed025's Note - im with you on all that smit mate..

I'd love to get the two of them signed up, Smit, but it's easier said than done. I've had a sneaky feeling for months now that Spurs will turn the head of Gomes and it will be hard to prise Zouma from Chelsea if they have their ban upheld. Fingers crossed that I'm wrong on both counts.

As regards to what we need, a striker is a must despite how well DCL has been playing. Just not a natural striker for me although he has played very well of late, it's goals we need more than ever. I'd be ok if we didn't bring in another RW as I think Richarlison can do a job there and hopefully we will have Henry back next year if he can get a work permit.

I totally agree with you smit. I hope we don't try and sign loads of players. I still want to see us clear a load out and I'd be happy with the ones you suggested.

I believe that not signing anyone in January helped the team bond. 4 at the most for me.
