Forster Da Silva Fonte Van Dijk Cedric Ki Gonalons Bertrand Sisto Sigurdsson Bony Gazzaniga, Gardos, Yoshida, Martina, Targett, Clasie, Klaassen, Reed, JWP, Tadic, Long, Rodriguez, Austin I would have on my list Da Silva (Caen) Gonalons (Lyon) Ki (Swansea) Klaassen (Ajax) Sisto (Midytjelland) Sigurdsson (Swansea) Bony (Man City) To replace Wanyama, Davis, Romeu, Mane, Juanmi and Pelle. I think we could sign all 7 although Sigurdsson and Bony may be tricky, back-up options to them would be Wijnaldum and Remy.
