If we can't get a deal for Teixeira, I hope we go for the next best player in the Ukranian league and that is Yarmolenko.

I dunno how he's still at Kiev but I am sure he won't be costing 38m. He's been brilliant for a while now and if not of their stubborn owner he'd be long gone.

We don't have a goal scoring winger and he'd be exactlly that. Not only that but he's got great ball skills and a good eye for a pass. He's also done enough at CL and international levels to show he can do it at the highest stage.

What do you guys think?

If teixeria doesn't happen then we should steer clear of any players in the Ukrainian league, and doing business with any of their clubs. Every time we do it seems they want to hold us and other English clubs to ransom.

We have enough players. Too many in fact.

What is this obsession with buying more?

Quality not quantity.

Oddly enough, having too many (which we do I agree) shouldn't try and stop us buying another one if we can find someone who can do a job for us now and can contribute to our building a good team over the next few years.

You say quality not quantity which I agree with, so we should by 1 or 2 quality players each window. We should trim the squad of average players. Brendan bought way too many average players in the last 2yrs.

if the opportunity to improve our first team is there and the money is justifiable I've got nothing against adding to the squad. I just don't think Teixeira fit's either of those criteria.

The price quoted is higher than any of the other stars they've sold and he's behind both Firmino and Couts in Brazil's pecking order. I think if we go for him we'll be back here in two years talking about the money we wasted on him whilst pining after a new starlet.

You can't judge being in the Brazil squad as a be all and end all. their squads are always a tad strange and I'm sure I've heard that their process for picking any squad is a bit outside the norm and certainly not based on form.
