Hi eds, thers lots of rumours for hernandez and welbeck leaving but do u see any strikers coming in or will players like di maria, januzaj, n upcoming wilson be used as back up for tht role?

{Ed002's Note - If Hernandez and Welbeck leave do not be surprised by a bid for a striker. I am not aware of interest but Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is looking for another club but probably wants Champions League football. Castaignos is another player who was expected to move this summer and is known to LvG. Perhaps a little something to keep us busy on Monday afternoon.}

I posted something similar yesterday talking about Remy however I wouldn't say no to Luc Castaignos

Don't be surprised if it's a quick winger/forward.

Anyone in mind syd?

Out of interest James Wilson has been added to the first team squad

I hope to see James Wilson used this season. I think he is ready to step up and needs game time. Any signings we do make up top could impact his development. I do like the idea of JW and AJ backing up our first choice strikers.

One thing that is a slight concern for me is that RVP is at the age where strikers especially can decline. Seems that football has taken its toll on his body over the years.

Perhaps Viktor Fischer?

If Reus is available surely we could be in for him?

Promte wilson, agree with remy, think he'd be a good addition to the sqaud

Ed002, what about Viktor Fischer? He would fit the bill wouldn't he?

Ed002 - Is Aubemayang still available - and if so - have we expressed an interest?

I think it will be Depay if anyone.

Yeah something to keep us all busy, been a quiet summer so far for you ed eh :-)

Is messi available! worth a try!

I still think we'll come to regret it if Welbeck leaves.

He's perfect cover for Roo and RVP, and he's been improving rapidly. Another year or two and he could be really pushing Roo and RVP for the starting spot.

If Arsenal or Spurs get him he'll do well, and we won't get a suitable replacement without spending a fair bit more than we get for him.
