yea, that's the other alternative - Suarez on the right, Sterling on the left, and a.n. other down the centre (basically someone who knows how to score at this level - I like Borini, but he's not got imo 15/20 goals in him).
I'd love to see Cavani come. Not just for our team but to shut the FSG whiners up.
We need another forward to come straight into the first team and that will mean Suarez gets moved! He's been great in the middle but he likes to go all over the place and that's why he's class but if he Carrys on up top on his own we won't score enough to get higher up the league!
Plus the op wants 2 players that have only moved clubs in the summer, so they won't be available and Cavani? If we get him I'll eat my own balls!
Are you on about gaston ramirez? no chance in that happening
With anything, I'd love it to happen but come on!
I think the lad who is top scorer in holland could be a good option, Bony!
Bony is a good player but he's more of a dribbler from what i've seen. I think this system works much better with a strong play who can hold the ball and be patient whilst others join the attack. Suarez still scores goals from wide anyhow, so we'd have him scoring, plus the striker and there'd be more space due to there being more threat spread throughout the team. At the moment, it's keep Suarez at bay, keep Liverpool at bay.

That's all of his 2011/2012 goals and I think it shows a good range of finishes! He did have a trial with Liverpool earlier in his career but he must have improved!
If we had say £20m to spend, i would look at adding just two quality players. Whilst off-loading two at the same time - Downing (£5-7m) and Cole (to free the wage bill).
Two players i like whom are young and would improve us dramatically:
Yevhen Konoplyanka (Ukrainian) (LW or RW) plays for an average side in the Ukraine, he is pure quality. Pace, strength, tricks, goals he has the lot.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan (Armenian) (CAM or ST) plays for Shaktar, this lad scores goals and opens teams up.
Whether both would be open to a move is up for debate but they would certainly improve us.
He had a trial with Liverpool?!

Come on man, get off Football Manager.
2007 I think and wasn't offered a deal but Yaya was on trial at Arsenal but didn't get a deal!
No toor, i watch and know my football. I have watched Ukraine play many times and Konoplyanka is an absolute gem. Mkhitaryan would be a lot harder to tempt from Shahkter but he would add goals a plenty to our side.

Konoplyanka definitely sign.Let cole go free and get him off the wage bill.Bony would be a bit of a risk,but im sure he would be scouted a lot before any decision made.If we need a striker who is up to speed then Huntelaar would be ideal on a three/four year contract.Short term loan possibly David Villa or him from Villa if scouts need to try and find a better solution in the summer.Dries Martens is another good player who can play anywhere in the front three and score goals.Unless Fenway can stump up cash for a big signing like Dimao? What about Gomis from France dont know much about him but mentioned in the media?
