If bfccrazy thinks this striker is capable of getting 15 goals for us, its not going to be Shane Long. My guess is its somebody who actually has hit this amount in the prem before at some point, step forward Wlifred Bony.

Without a decent CB coming in, I'll be 50% happy/unhappy, that was always a priority signing.
If a CB comes in then 75% happy.

Gray needs an amc just behind him playing him through 1 on 1. Until he's getting that type of service it's hard to tell if he's up to it. I'd like to see a 4-5-1 with defour or hendrix just In behind gray, think defour would play some lovely waited balls through to gray.
