**** no. We need someone, even if it is somebody good with potential (like Dias). Can't go into the new season with Smallling/Jones/Rojo starting at CB, that's a recipe for disaster. Do not like Maguire, don't really see what he offers in a 2-man system. Any of de Ligt, Koulibaly or Alderweireld will do.If it’s not De Ligt, Maguire or Koulibaly then I would rather not sign a CB.

We ain’t signing Toby though. That’s what I mean yes I like him like most do but we are not even interested in him Ole has made it clear the sort of age he’s looking at. And our new marketing campaign Youth, Courage, Success clearly backs that. Don’t see the point in signing another potential we have 1 top one already and Bailly and Lindelof have not even hit there peak yet. The 3 I mentioned will definitely improve us.Toby for 2-3 years. By then, we should know if Tuanzebe's going to be the real deal or not. By real deal I mean top bracket. Right now I'm 50-60% sold.
Lukaku after the match “I know where I will be playing next season, I must do what’s right for my career.”
Yep. As proven with Belgium and other teams. Play to his strengths and give him service he will score a bucket load. Need an adequate replacement. Seen Dembele from Lyon and Sebastian Haller linked a lot.Can completely understand. One of the best goalscorers in the world, needs to be an undisputed starting #9 - just don't think he's going to get those privileges here under Ole.

Ive been watching some of his interviews and he comes out like a cool, level-headed guy. Also some of his strengths are similar to Ibrahimovics.Haller is great.
Haller is better at link-up play. As a single striker leading the line, I'm not sure. He isn't quick, but has good movement. I think he would be better suited to a 2-man striker system, or a single striker system where the wingers also come in to play to score goals. Our wingers seem to be having a little bit difficulty doing that at present.Ive been watching some of his interviews and he comes out like a cool, level-headed guy.

Still, is he the man to lead the front line if Lukaku leaves?
Both downgrades though. I like the thought behind some of Ole's transfers, but it can definitely go one of two ways... and I'm a little fearful this could potentially be an LvG 15/16 type window (bringing in players that don't elevate us at all) & undo the good work Jose done in improving squad quality. Hopefully he gets all his 1st choice targets, as I'm not convinced with the rumoured 2nd & 3rd choices.
