What they're saying

"
Igor on paper is the best we've currently got, Kalimuendo deserves a chance after being outcast last season, and I would be sad to see Taiwo or Wood leave. Why pay an inflated price for a fifth striker? A right-sided wing-back, a centre-back (Yan Diomande) and a goalkeeper to back up Matz Sels - and we are good to go.
