  So, as of now, forward targets appear to be...
  
  Giroud £20m+
  Hernandez £13m
  Iheanacho £24m
  Batshuayi loan
  Gray £15m
  Bakambu £22m+
  
  Also being linked with Delph, Wilshere and N'Diaye this morning.

  The problem with signing both gray and Hernandez as our striker additions is that neither have the physical presence to lead the line on their own - we need to assume AC will fall some way short of delivering a full season and this will therefore leave us pretty stuck
  
  And putting Ayew up there as a back up is not viable IMO

  Personally I think it's Gray v Hernandez, not both. Both smaller and quicker, both similarly priced.
  
  And then Giroud v Batshuayi v Iheanacho.

  Baracks ;ok If it has to be Gray, I'm hoping it's Gray and two strikers, i.e. a Hernandez/Iheanacho type and a Giroud/Bats type.
  
  It may cost us a fortune in fees and wages, but well worth it, IMO

  The thing we need is different options upfront you have the big man hold up play good in the air , you need a quick players to play off and run in behind. We need to be able to change the way we attack more during games inst

  If we are ditching snodgrass too, then maybe that's the thinking??..

  We need a keeper upgrade ahead of a CM IMO

  I'd be very happy if we were able to secure Gironde & even more so if we got Hernandez too

  If he's good enough for the late, great Whitney Houston then he's good enough for us....

  We are now signing regions of France. Bound to be 1 decent player there ;-)

  Well, Lukaku to Man Utd, so I guess our chances of getting Batshuayi have plummeted.

  Sky Sports saying West Ham looking to hijack Stokes permanent move for Bruno Martins Indi who was on loan from Porto to Stoke.

  ;hmm A CB? Does that sound right? I am tempted to think this article may have something in it. (They ascribe these reports to a mistranslation) http://sportwitness.co.uk/west-ham-keen-snatch-stoke-city-transfer-target-away-take-look/

  He also played LB for the national side when younger. He's pretty experienced compared to his age

  Did not see that coming.
  
  Ok, so Bats is almost certainly out of the equation then.

  75m for Evertons best player
  25m for West Hams best player in the Jan window
  
  Granted a lot of different factors on why Payet was sold at a lower price. But its pretty damn bad reading lol.

  Burke will go on loan, I'm sure. Fonte and Collins have a combined age of about 90 so may not be the most reliable, fitness-wise. And both Reid and Oggy have had their injury problems, so I can see us going in for another CB.
  
  But not until we've got our striker situation sorted.

  Payet was 29 when we sold him, Lukaku is 24. Barring injury or loss of form he's going to be Man U's first choice striker into the 2020s.
  
  Plus Lukaku has been among the top Premier League strikers for the last five seasons, Payet was only here for a season and a bit.

  Both are 33. Are you Diane Abbott?

  I think we need 4 new defenders, 4 new midfielders, and two new strikers
  and perhaps a new goalkeeper.
