A few quality signings, and how much are they going to cost?

A few down years would indicate you aren't going forward.
At least £30m, our midfield is shot so it has to be done, an overhaul is needed for the middle. Upfront we are fine, could use another winger and defender.

By down years I mean still making top 4 but not in contention for the title, to me that's not really backwards, maybe for our standards since we've been so successful but I'm happy with a few top 4 finishes if it means we overhaul our squad to reload.

Are top players gonna want to play under him though?
I think so. In the upcoming years I think he'll have a bit of success. He was my first choice (from those available) and he was the chosen one who was hand picked by Sir Alex most importantly. I will back Sir Alex in and abide by his demand to the fans which was "Your job now is to stand by the new manager."

No doubt you should make some signings, but someone like Pjanic from Roma would be perfect for you and much easier to get. Yet Moyes wants to fulfil his wet dream of getting Vidal, who just signed a big contract extension and would cost an arm and a leg, to the club.

Where do people get their up to date transfer news from?
I use twitter to follow Sky Sports News as that's the most reliable for breaking news I find, I read the papers as rumours that persist for more than a couple of days generally have some grain of truth in them. I don't treat as fact that that player will come, but generally means that when Bruce confirms interest I already have some sort of idea.

Not liking these reports of Everton close to a deal with Kenwyne Jones. I guess If it is only 1 mill fair enough but would not want to be spending much more than that.

I'm usually refreshing transfermarkt latest transfers every few hours but I'm not sure how quick that is, it's just good because it'll give a fee, previous clubs and stats and sometimes a bio.

Following sky, maybe even an espn soccer page, and each clubs page would be your best option.

Great get for hull long is quality.
Still have to agree personal terms. Very telling that he and his wife are much more open minded about a move than they were a couple of days ago. I'm really surprised - er, shocked? maybe Cruyff doesn't like that word - that we might land him as I thought it was dead in the water and was more than happy to just land Jela. Honestly I'm more excited for Jela than Long. Jela has a much better goal scoring record.

Hull will stay up now imo no doubt
Just want to pick up the points before the last couple of games so I don't have to endure a stressful final day. :)

As I think I said a few months ago, there's the slightest chance we could have achieved safety by my Birthday, which would be awesome!
