  • I wouldn't be interested in Belhanda, they've signed Holtby and have Bale, Sigurdsson and Lennon. He seems like a bit of a flash in the pan to me.

    Tenderloin, as mentioned above, I think we're looking for some strength in depth, if we actually sign Belhanda, again like Hotlby he's not the finished article and has room for improvement. And would give us more attacking options, whilst making the drop off from our current first choices to the squad members isn't too steep.

    Though AVB is working in Dempsey and Siggurdson, after that if Lennon or Bale (god forbid) drop off performance wise or are injured, Falque and Townsend are callow alternatives, despite Falque looking good and threatening against lightweight opposition in the Europa League.

    Also competition for places is always a good thing, though it has to be balanced with giving some of our own youngsters the opportunity to break into the first team squad. Right now our squad options aren't as deep as any of the other four CL perennials and it is something that needs to be addressed.
