Only a matter of time before the papers start the rumor mill - and we want to be ready for all the junk!
Yep my first choice, Aubameyang so that we don't depend too much on Studge. Add a solid defender and a solid defensive midfielder.
This winter is a bit early for Skrtel and Mignolet and probably Lucas as well. Lets give the new manager a chance to access the squad before we show anyone the exit.
Why is it too early? They are obvious upgrades to me. Solve any one of those issues and we are immediately improved. Relatively well sorted elsewhere once injuried players come back in.
That Sahin guy is enjoying a bit of a revival and seems well suited to England... I expect we'll see more Origi as he likes a player with pace. P-EA isn't moving - too expensive and too important to Dortmund. But his arrival means that we are suddenly in the mix for Reus in the summer. And you can keep Hummels - overpriced and his worth is vastly overstated. Has about the same turning radius and top speed as Mertesacker.
Doubt we'll buy Hummels but I would not be shocked to see us go in for Neven Subotic. Klopp worked with him at Mainz and then brought him to Dortmund when he became manager there. His stock has taken a hit in the last couple of years - he used to be a very, very highly rated player and now he's got a £14M valuation at Transfermarkt - but he's only 26 years old. We need depth at CB, desperately.
Hummels injuries have done him in - I wasn't at all upset when United were trying to get him this past summer. Subotic would be interesting - he might have a revival here.
The questions is not really who will he brings, it's what will he do with the actual team, because there is plenty of game to play before transfer window open.
