Whilst there it occurred to me that Christian Gross was a big name that didn't set our worlds alight.

The last time I can remember us seriously splashing out in January was in 2009, when we rebuilt the squad we sold off the previous summer by essentially buying them back six months on. Of the signings we made then, Palacios stands out as among the most transformative, just because of the tigerishness he brought to our midfield and how he helped (hopefully) permanently end our seemingly conflicted feeling as a club about playing water carriers over flair players.
If we genuinely went and got Isco in January after splashing out for Sissoko on deadline day, it would rank as equally transformative, in my opinion. It would define our (and Levy's) complete transformation from the penny-pinching entity of recent times into being players in the market chiefly concerned with backing our manager first and worrying about balancing it out after that. We're halfway there after the encouraging late move for Sissoko. Something like Isco in January would seal the deal, break a lot of stereotypes and signal intent (despite @NaijaSpurs 's distaste for that term ).
Still, seems very unlikely, so I won't be losing too much sleep over it, or really tearing my hair out over it potentially not happening - to do so after Levy broke our transfer record and our recent trend of neutral net spending to bring in Sissoko would just be ungrateful.

Who's Jordan Lukaku? Never heard of him.
Jordan Lukaku I pray this is total bollards.

Question - did you see Atouba or Gilberto or Tramezzani?One of the poorest left backs i've had the misfortune to see at international level (Belgium)
Brother of Romelu. Now I would take him?
He definitely was a couple of years ago. It's potentially a vdV situation, where he'd thrive again being a bigger fish in a smaller pond.
He should be kind of used to not being 1st choiceWould he actually get in the team? I don't see that he'd be a first choice ahead of Dembele in CM or Alli in the no 10 role and given where he'd be joining from, would he accept that?
Wait a second, Stephen, you can't do that!One of the poorest left backs i've had the misfortune to see at international level (Belgium)

Dismissing Jordan Lukaku based on internationals, whilst at the same time not willing to consider Vincent Janssen's international success?
No worries, just teasing
I'm thinking with Vincent still settling and Harry coming back and needing time we need a 'frontman' in Jan.
Preferrably one with EPL milage on him so we dont have to puppy train him.
Berahino? (or has he retired? if not summer more likely)
Defoe? (very old but knows where the goal is)
Sturridge? (see above)
Chicharito?.........
??
I can't think of many...
That doesn't seem to be working that great ATM.I'd rather play without a striker...
