So Bobby wants to add three attacking players and a midfielder to the squad by the end of the window. Refreshing to see him highlight what is needed in his view and what he wants on and off the field from them.
Bersic will IMO be the midfield player and Lukaku one of the attacking three, in fact I expect Lukaku to kick off the transfers as this will dictate remaining funds/players who will come in to work round him, players with pace and ability to break into the box.
Add these to Oviedo and Gibson returning and player like Ledson and Green in the U21's we have a squad and a half!
The investment in Finch Farm is reaping rewards
Bobby targets more incoming

If we assume Lukaku and besic are two of them that leaves two more attacking players
I think it could be one more striker (Hernandez would be a good shout) but it could also be a Traore loan again. And a winger/attacking mid to replace Deulofeu, no idea who that may be though

Sounds good but I'm still a bit worried about the defence if anything happens to Jagielka, Distin or Stones....I dont see why he rates Alcaraz at all?? maybe Duffy will breakthrough

Alcaraz is okay he had a couple of bad games after a lengthy injury and everyone slates him (see Naismith two seasons ago). By all accounts Duffy has come on leaps and bounds so I'd expect to see him plat next season probably in the carling cup.

okay I hope he proves me wrong - when have you seen him have a good game?

He was a rock for Wigan and plays out from the back as part of a back three really well, maybe a formation Bobby will use in Europe especially away

Agreed Arouna

Bit if Alcaraz will return from injury to do this, especially with the way Stones has stepped up, will it limit his chances?
Duffy does seen to have taken a while to develop, some are like this and as he is homegrown then I want him to make it.
But let's not discard as we did with Mustafi and he made the WC squad
