Bit uninspiring, not that I know anything about Romulo. I hope there's plan to add quality rather than just bulking out the squad. Still early days tho.

I quite like Traore form the brief glimpses that I've seen him. Looks skilful and quite powerful with the ball.

I wonder what would happen if we dont end up signing anyone? I know it won't happen but if it does would Rafa walk ? If he stayed would fans turn on him like previous managers?

If we didn't sign anyone, he'd have to take responsibility for that too. Not that there's remotely a chance of it happening.

The money is there, we know that. If we don't sign anyone(although we've already signed Atsu and we will sign more) then it's on Rafa. It'd be bad targets. Be it ones that didn't want to come here, preferred other options, weren't good value, demanded too much or just poor players. There's more to transfers than not being willing to pay and now there's more money in the game we need to realise that.

The Dutch league might suit him, good luck to the lad but how the f*** he was here for so long is beyond me.

Who?

I can't say that i'm too thrilled about being linked with a lot of players who nobody has ever heard of.

But if they turn out to be like a Cabaye then i'm not going to complain <roll>

Soccerbase.com list him as dead so I'd be uncomfortable paying that much.

Apparently their best player according to the article I read. The article goes on to say he started only nine league matches with another nine as a sub, sitting on the bench 21 times in total last season.

To be fair I hadn't really heard of Xabi Alonso when Rafa signed him for Liverpool either. We need to have a team rather than a collection of individuals like we've had for so long- we were all buzzing at signing Wijnaldum and ended up going down.

I trust Rafa's judgement.

Agreed. Although he has some absolute stinkers in his past as well.

At least with every other player we'd been linked with I'd heard bits and pieces, mainly positive. With Samaris, I literally had no idea he existed until this afternoon.
