If we were to sign Caballero, Alex Sandro, Rudiger, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Lukaku would you be satisfied that have strengthened in the right areas?
Caballero is smart business... Free agent with PL experience and is happy to play a bit part role.
Alex Sandro is in the top 3 left backs in the world IMO and whilst I dont think its an area we really need to spend £62m in he would take us to another level.
I've seen a lot of people on twitter get upset at the Rudiger deal as they had hoped for Van Dijk or Bonucci but this guy is very good, His pace and power is perfect for the PL and he's very good with the ball at his feet. He can play both CB and RWB. Smart business by the club to not fork out £60m on Bonucci/Van Dijk.
At the start I wasn't really sold on Bakayoko but the signing has grew on me the more I watched clips of him against City and PSG. He's only 22 and has the perfect manager to coach and get the best out of him, £35m in today's market is pretty decent when Pickford goes for £30m.
I really dont want the club to sign Lukaku, Do I think he's an upgrade on Costa? IMO he's not, Yes his numbers are good but when you really break it down he tends to be a bit of a flat track bully, Isn't great technically whilst I will admit he's improved on that area of his game. He tends to go missing in big games too much for a club looking to challenge on all fronts too. His fee will be extortionate upwards of £70m, He'll get my full support if he does sign but if it was him or Morata, Belotti, Icardi, Aguero or Alexis I know I'd take any one of them first.

________Azpi Luiz Cahill
Rudiger Kante Bakayoko Sandro
_____Pedro Lukaku Hazard
What's your thoughts on these signings if they all go through and is there any other signings out there we will make that ive missed?

Just put the new signings in the team to see how it looked lol I expect him to play CB myself.

Like Tablighi said, we need another goal-scoring attacking midfielder. Neither Bakayoko nor Kante score many goals from central midfield and I feel that Pedro, although decent enough in the prem, could struggle in the champs league.
Also, don't forget that we'll be without Hazard for a decent part of the early season leaving us with only Pedro and Willian as forward options.

And Rudiger is terrible with the ball at his feet that's why I compared him to Zouma in a previous post

Lol where does this notion that Lukaku is a fleet track bully come from?
soccer?lol.

Azpi is our best defender so should be played at RCB. He's not good enough going forward to start at wing back.
------------- Courtois --------------
-------- Azpi, Luiz, Rudi ----------
Moses, Bakayoko. Kante, Sandro
------ Pedro, Lukaku, Hazard -----

In regards to Pedro...that's the one player you want in the CL. Think about it...
Others have a lot to prove to CL (includes Hazard), if you want to talk about struggling.
Pedro has achieved everything.

Only Sandro and Rudiger are decent signings.Other players are a downgrade.
