A newspaper saying that Strootman is the January target and Hummels is still the main defensive target. We need to keep our eyes and ears open to who we are looking at for RB. Is it still Cuadrado or will we look for a more defensive RB?

Right now all news regarding next transfer window targets not important. The importance is we need some result from the investment.

Hi Syd, Strootman would be a good purchase, given the respective ages of Carrick and Fletcher.

Strootman, I believe, was always LVG's preferred choice even over Vidal. Think he will join in January but agree with Syd, definitely need a new RB.

Strootman a certain target. Whether Rome want to sell is another matter. Some media saying Johnny Evans to be sold to help fund January buys.

Roma will always sell at a price. They were pretty reasonable with Benatia, so I think Strootman could be signed for less than £30m. He's not my first choice, but he is a player LvG likes.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Evans was sold and Hummels signed. Evans is a mistake waiting to happen.

Bit harsh on Evans he was our best cb 2 seasons ago but if it meant hummels then who can complain. Dani alves will be available next summer but he's poor defensively. 2 names I'd like to put out there for rb are danilo from Porto and di sciglio from Milan who I think will be world class.

Strootman was always going to be the preferred holding midfielder that LVG was going to go for

Totally agree Syd, Evans is shocking, I would even put Smalling in the same bracket. Definitely need a world class CB and RB
