Class player and I just wish we had signed him instead of Moses in the first place. Much better player and as is consistent, scores more, creates more and has pace and flair. Payet with Lanzini and Tore either side playing behind Sakho will be awesome. Hope we can pick up the right back from the Geordies if they go down and like the idea of trying to get his Dutch team mate who is their top scorer. We need a bigger squad for Europa football as the start of the season showed. We need some quality additions and Tore would be a big player in the Prem IMO. He destroyed Spurs and Liverpool last year in the Europa league. Would love to see a top striker sign and Lacazette at Lyon if the rumour is true instead of Emineke would be a massive improvement to the squad. Could see him and Sakho if player together being a great partnership. With Caroll, Valencia as back up. Another player I’d like to see us sign is Nathan Redmond as I think he would be another great squad / impact player. It should be easier to attract quality with European football and a 60,000 sell out stadium in London. COYI
I would be happy with Wilson of Bournemouth or Gray of Burnley as a striker in the Sakho mold
Redmond is good but do we need to replace Moses with Samulsun coming back
A strong Central defender to play with Ogbonna would be better
What’s wrong with reid, think ogbonna reid Tomkins burke and Oxford should be our five next season think carroll will be sold if an offer comes in for him, unfortunately so will valencia, they won’t take up offer on emineke which I don’t care about as we can find a better striker we need another right back and left back to push those places, Samuelson back to push for a place another box to box midfielder incase kouyate injured song back to barca, Norwegian in place, and another top top striker
Why? …I can’t see it! He’s no better than what we have …in fact who would he replace as he doesn’t look that special?
He will replace Victor Moses who will go back to Chelsea

I can’t say that I’m particularly impressed by that video.

That video just says to me why did we get rid of Ba, absolute top striker
