    if you could only sign ONE more player

    ... who would it be?
    or at least, what position would you strengthen?

    for me it would be a midfield warrior, a real ball winner to protect the defence and allow Shelvey the time and space to play his game.

    I appreciate we are weak up front, and Rafa seems desperate for a keeper, but we need the middle of the park sorted.

    as for who we would get for that position, I have no idea, just NOT colback or saivet.

    Agree with that completely Mick.

    Personally I'd like Sigurdsson, although I know we won't pay the money nor would he want to come here.

    So I don't know if that counts

    I'd be torn between a left back, a proper one, and a hustling, bustling real centre forward.

    dimmets stats speak for them selves

    i would love siggurdson and would pay the money for him for no other reaso than you need to build a team around smeoone

    however i would choose a striker a big lad who can score and who can hold play up and bring others in

    rafa is so negative we might as well forget about a creative player

    we will only play one up front so it may as well be a big guy to support all the wingers we seem to have and ar buying

    How about Llorente at Swansea?

    Has to be a left back for me. Linked with that Real Betis LB, I'd go for him. I like the sounds of a DM as well but we can't rely on Dummett. Gayle has done it in the prem before and Mitro could cause problems if utilized correctly.

    My initial thought was we need a striker-which we really do-but if I'm sticking to the premise of the thread, then I'd have to go along with what Mick said about needing a midfielder who can win tackles and protect the back 4. Either that or if Hayden is in midfield, but a Shelvey replacement who can pass well but take the ball forward-a bit like Cabaye.

    siggiuson if he had a realistic price tag, but probably Javi Hernandez for £13m
