We have been linked with Wiltshire for 12 months now.. Why would Moyes be interested in picking off possible signings which were touted for Bilic.

I hope Moyes brings in some diversity with our transfers

Pontus Jansson is another I think is more than capable to come in.

Fans would love him if he came here.

I'm not sure they'd get away with moving us that far.

I wonder if there is an athletics stadium in Melksham that needs converting.

On a more serious note. Some of the more recent suggestions seem more inspiring. Better than Walcott and Sturridge who we all know won't work out at West Ham. They will be injured most of the time and we won't get the best out of them. I want the days of Carroll, Dyer, Sakho, etc. to be long distant memories. Let's get some players that can play regularly and not end up paying massive wages on players based on reputation only.

Unfortunately we need some infrastructure for that, not Sullivan, his kids, a bloke that once signed John Stones, a manager who has to take or leave it and a copy of fifa 16!

I see Fellaini is stalling on a contract , I have a feeling we could end up with him.

Not sure how I feel about that , he obviously has the quality for us but being 30 puts me off slightly, he does love Moyes doesn't he and will be up for the gig.

I may be alone here, but I think Felleini would be an excellent signing!

Will make us much more watchable and easy on the eye, I'd have thought.

Pace up front and a defensive midfielder would be great.

I also like the idea of Lanzini linking up with Wilshere but we would need a very good defensive midfielder behind them both to accommodate two forward minded midfielders.

A midfield of Carvalho, Wilshere and Lanzini with Arnautovic and Hernandez up-front would be fun though.

Fellaini and Barkley would be outstanding business and I believe achievable.
The question would be is Sullivan is prepared to fund it?

Kouyate should be shipped out.

Fellaini is highly thought of by Mourinho , no chance
Barkley no thanks, out of contract end of season, plays where Lanzini does and Man is far superior
Carvalho no chance, don't even know where this has come from he would join us, he might not of even joined us back six months

Also Dendocker is the one, Anderlecht out of all European competitions now, good age, good player, with scope to improve, will be hungry to suceed, world cup yeah too, perfect sort of signing we should be going for

Agreed. Puts himself about, but not good enough on the ball

Fellaini is holding out for more dosh at MU, the manager wants him, I don't see him moving.

I've got a feeling Barkley will move abroad

There are some obvious negatives about him and his sharp elbows, but I agree that he'd add strength and fight to our game and quite probably make better our 'best eleven'.

Would probably want £120k+ a week, mind.

Hasn't played in any top leagues but at a goal every 2 games (1.2 games the past 5 seasons), why the hell not...

Because he's 30 and scored all his goals in some of the worst leagues in the world? He got a shot at a big league, in his prime.... 2 in 23 in Serie A then shipped back to Israel. If we're trolling bad leagues for strikers there are younger options in better leagues.

Judging by how Wilshere was Arsenal's best player by a mile tonight, I'd say our chances of getting him are slim. But blimey would he improve us.

I've never actually said blimey out loud, btw. I only type in English English.
