Elyounoussi is an excellent signing. Very excited about that one. Armstrong will be a useful addition if he can replicate his 16/ 17 form. He struggled last term with niggly injuries and form so let's hope he can find his feet again. It's a relief to get a couple of new faces in after a quiet start to the window. Still one or two places to strengthen i. e RB, CB and FW/ ST. A young GK competing for first team would be good (maybe Gunn) but not crucial, and a right-sided forward now Tadic has gone but we're nearly there.

Elyounissi can play in all 3 forward positions so I wouldn't necessarily say a FW or ST is our main priority. If you look at all of our forward options when they were on a good run they performed really well. I think this next season can be a really good season for us with a potential top 7 finish and maybe a Leicester as they were nearly relegated the season before they won the prem!

As regards to center back, it looks like we are strengthening those areas with the likes of Marlon Santos. Bednarek has heaps of potential and seems to have a goal threat similar to the way Fonte used to have. COYR.

While Elyounoussi can play across the front, he is most comfortable playing on the left and I’m not sure at this stage we should be pinning our striking hopes on him should CA get injured at some stage of the season as is par for the course.

Gabbi can also play as a striker but requires a very different style of service so is more likely to benefit from playing against certain teams rather than being a regular striker. CA remains the only specialist striker we have so I’d like to see someone else brought in. Elyounoussi may prove to be our Mo Salah, but as he’s very much the exception to the rule, its more likely that he’ll take time to settle with his new team and the league.

Links to Marlon and Vestergaard are all well and good but I think we need an experienced centre back to lead the back line. We really missed this last season and if rumours from Stoke be believed, I’m not sure MH focuses a great deal on defensive training so it’s the best way for Bednarek, Hoedt, Stephens and anyone else who comes in to learn.

Absolutely agree figo. I would love to see another Pelle type player but I've been looking to see who might be available and there's not many like him around. Not many decent CBs around in our price range either so we might be going with what we have plus another young upcoming defender. Looking forward to next season though.
