Hi Ed's,

do you see us actually going for a striker after Firmino signed? He's not an out and out striker but with Sturridge 1st choice, then Ings/Firmino as back up. maybe Origi if he doesn't go out on loan? what are your thoughts.

{Ed001's Note - I still expect us to try and get one other forward yes. The interest in an out and out striker is genuine.}

Ed. If the interest in an out and out striker is genuine, do you know who the number 1 target is?

{Ed001's Note - I believe it is Bacca now.}

Ed1 a few days/weeks ago the general view was we should not hold our breath over Bacca - has this changed?

I don't want to get too excited just because we have finally splashed some cash and made a real quality signing (subject to medical. ) but it looks like our aspirations might have changed and our fortunes along with.

What would your view be on the possibilities of

Bacca
Rondon
Kovacic
Coyne

Any others you think may be on the horizon?

I see Lacazzette rumours have surfaced again? I think it's odd if his agent is trying to talk up a move or is more about talking up a pay rise?

Many thanks once again,




Rob.

{Ed001's Note - I would prefer to stick to not holding our breath, as I am extremely superstitious and the one player we signed which I wanted I was not allowing myself to dare to believe it would happen. As for Lacazette, you would be better speaking to Ed002, he would have a much better idea there.

As far as those 4, we are talking over Bacca and Rondon, but it is out there at the Copa this is going on, so really out of my reach in terms of keeping tabs. I, like all of you, are heavily reliant on Ed002 for information there. Kovacic deal is all set up ready to go, but Inter are trying to do other business so they do not have to sell him. I assume you mean Clyne and it was a typo? If so, we seem to have dropped out of that for now. Maybe it will be a deal we will return to after other business is done.}

Great response there Ed, cheers!

Ed2, would be grateful if you could fill us all in!

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea where you are getting any of this Lacazette stuff from.}
