Who's it going to be then? A left-field signing like our attempt to sign Costa late last summer? Or a premiership player like Bony?

1. Who would you sign (within reason)?
2. Who will we end up with?
 
1 - Balotelli. I know he's insane etc, but I believe he's a 1 in 2 goalscorer, and I can't think of anyone better right now who'd cost 15 mill. I think we desperately need a striker though, and not signing one would cause us tremendous problems for the season
2 - Sadly, no one.
 
Borussia Dortmund are in Liverpool this weekend, we need a world class match winner who can play in any of the forward positions, I really want Marco Reus, it's written in the stars.

You're dreaming!!

1. I'd be ok with Balotelli at that price. He has enormous quality and untapped potential.
2. Really? Yikes.
 
Bad year for him last year man ... It would as risky a signing as Balotelli imo.

I was making a bad joke.

He's the kind of player I want us to sign though. I've not followed enough of the european leagues to know recently
 
The worst thing is, there arent many top strikers available. Within reason (no Cavani/Higuain/Benzema)

1) Aubameyang

2) Bony
 
Reus.

But I'd make do with Balotelli. Yes, he's a complete fucking loon. But he scores goals. Suarez was was also a complete fucking loon that scored goals.
 
I was disappointed to hear Rodgers dismissing the possibility of signing Mario.

Of course he's a lunatic, but he has wonderful skills, pace and physique. He also must realize that such a move would likely be his last chance with a big team.
 
I want us to buy two so ...
Any one from : Lacazette, Firmino, Aubameyang, Higuain or Balotelli
Plus Ings.

*of course I'd take Reus first but that is a forlorn hope*
 
Haha, yeah right...

Anyhoo. Benzema has signed a new contract, albeit unrealistic target.
 
Lots of options in Germany: Reus, Draxler, Werner, Firmino, Son Min.

Not many ready made solutions available though. At least there don't seem to be.

I'm hoping the club have an ace up their sleeve and there is a sexy signing lined up.
 
I think of a mural more as artwork - so it would be more like a picture on the wall, wouldn't it. That's the only reason I withheld my 'like'.
 
Unrealistic ones for me would be :

Reus (he'd actually be perfect for us)
Benzema

Realistic(ish?) :

Draxler (is this a possible one?)
Lacazette (based on absolutely nothing, other than a 'feeling')
 
Draxler is not really a striker though.

The only realistic striker in the Bundesliga who would also suit us is Kevin Volland.
