Signings are always big for a club and as we all know they can go brilliant...torres,suarez,alonso...or they can go like this...Diao..Cheyrou...Balotelli. It is massive for us at this moment, we need to add to the group not in terms of quantity but in terms of quality. At last though we have a manager who has a clear identity of how his team plays, this should avoid the A Carrols etc being signed for Klopps team.
We need huge quality because if we look forward then its looking likely we may have CL footy next year, if we do we all know about the effort needed to compete on multiple fronts; as good as Woodburn and TAA are it wouldnt be fair to play them in a CL game or a tough away trip after a CL game, no we need top quality and i was pleased the likes of Draxler have been mentioned.
Anyone have any ideas of quality we may be after? Dont confuse size of fee with quality btw, its just quality we need!
Who do we get to improve?

Dont believe the zaha stuff, however; he is now a little bit older has undoubted talent, its whether a manager can take him, mold him and smooth his rough edges.
He will either be a swp or a potential sterling type

I don't mind Zaha. He's clearly talented, he just went to a club that was too big for him at that point in time. He needed games and time to develop, Utd wasn't going to give him that.
In the same vein, I'm not sure he needs a transfer now either when he's beginning to establish himself as Palace's main threat.
In terms of who I'd buy, I still think we're a bit short at LB (despite Milner doing well) and I've always liked Ricardo Rodriguez - I'd go for him.
Equally, despite Lovren looking better I do think there's space for an athletic CB as Sakho's days appear numbered. With the signing of Hummels in the summer I think I'd see whether Bayern might be willing to let Jerome Boateng leave.

I think we need to invest in a defensive midfielder. Look at the difference Kante has made to Chelsea. We are excellent going forward but we always look like letting in a sloppy goal, a good DM will cut out a few goals before they get near our transitional defence.

Who do we get to improve? Again, I wouldn't be surprised if we sign a player who hasn't been on the radar. Jurgen is the type of manager who wants to discover potential talent, not spend mega-bucks on some wonder star.

A wing forward is needed. Lallana and Firmino just aren't as effective when played there.
A new keeper would be nice, but will only happen if we were to sell Mignolet (Klopp will keep Karius imo)
A left back if Moreno could be sold. Milner has been very good.

Goalie and a left back. Schmeichel iif available and a left back to cover for Milner or take over.

We aren't going to sign a keeper are we
I doubt we will get a left back either. Hopefully a forward but I think we will sign nobody.
