Iago Aspas: Rather optimistic about him considering there are rumours linking him with top teams in La Liga, not too bad for a player playing for a relegation battling team. Statistics wise apparently he creates more chances than Messi and Ronaldo. It would be fair to think of him as La Liga's Benteke in which he single handedly saved a club from relegation (of course not comparing their playing style).
Luis Alberto: Sevilla might be asking a bit too much for my liking. His goal/assist statistics doesn't mean much considering it is only the second division where teams have awful defence. Does anyone wonder why Barca did not pick up their first option on him? Wonder why he wasn't selected for the u-21 squad? 6-8m seems a risky gamble to me.
Simon Mignolet: Am I the only one who doesn't want Pepe to leave? He has been nothing but a loyal servant to the club through and through. He did not once say that he wants to leave and neither did Barca say that they are interested in him, in fact Barca are linked with a host of other GKs. Spending close to 10m on a backup keeper when we have greater needs elsewhere is just stupid.
Luis Suarez: Don't want him to leave because we will need him to push back into top 4 even though I'm beginning to really dislike him. Don't think he will leave either since Real Madrid seem more interested in Cavani and Bale. If we do sell him though 40m plus Alvaro Morata or Jese Rodriguez would suffice.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan: Not really a playmaker type player as many would suggest. Doesn't have a good assist rate, only scored 1 goal against some weak CL side, passing rate dropped considerably when playing against stronger CL side (BVB, Juventus). But he reminds me a lot of Lampard in which he displays good positional awareness to get into open spaces behind defenders, very pacey and good finishing. At least he is gonna give us some scoring from midfield which we haven't had since Stevie's goals dried up. I personally prefer Christian Eriksen though, younger and cheaper since he is entering the final year of his contract but it seems BVB are more likely to land him.
Why haven't we targeted any left backs yet? Don't we only have Enrique for that position? Judging from last season, Jack Robinson is not ready for 1st team football yet and I would prefer to see Glen Johnson playing on the right.
What happened to the other centre backs we were linked with? Surely Kolo Toure isn't signed to play 1st team and Ilori is just a prospect. Papadoupoulos is in a similar mould to Skrtel (hard tackling no nonsense type), Alderweireld would be a great fit in our system since he can pass the ball really well.
