Okay question for you guys.

There is 2 players that you can sign on pre-contracts (they can be from same country) who would you sign?

I'm going for

Sami Khedira
Seydou Doumbia (or Paco Alacer)

If you mean any players which may be available I would go for reus (he should return from.injury around the summer) and khedira or scheiderlin

I think bringing in khedira would make sense, allowing Ramires to be sold. Personally I don't think Ramires fits into Jose system. His passing is awful, tackling is not great and he's no right winger. Khedira in on a free allowing the club to bring in £20m plus for Ramires.

Best players-khedira and chiellini

Best Fit-khedira and Schar (due to long term potential worth)

I'd definitely sign Varane to a precontract if it was an option. Alas it isn't. Wouldn't know about midfield. I could say Pogba but there's about zero chance of that happening. I actually can't think of many central mids I'd want

Khedira 100%. Reus is a dream (anyway I would like it to happen).

Reus and Khedira I think. Then ship out Ramires to anyone who will pay good money for him. He is a great player but as has been mentioned he doesn't really fit the system. Even with moving to a 4-3-3 I think Khedira is better than Ramires. Reus just gives us something different to Willian.

But if we will look for a striker next summer I think that Benteke would be the best striker in the market. Don't see many really good forwards potentially available.

I still think Bony is awesome :)

Bony to replace drogba would be awesome, am expensive replacement though :P

Yup he'd cost some money and probably wouldn't want to fight for a place as second choice striker with Remy when he can easily be starting striker at many other clubs.
I just like the guy, he looks awesome and plays well.

Same dude, I was a big fan of him when at Vitesse and I was crying out for us to get him for ages haha. He's qaulity, just maybe lacks mobility for a top top side

I like Seydou Doumbia as well, but that age thing is one that will always prevent him from moving to a top club

The problem we have today with the Beast suspended suggests that we need another defensive midfielder - Khedira or Sissono (Newcastle - sorry about spelling).

Mrs costa, although I agree that sissoko is a good player, I doubt he's good enough for us in defensive mid, he comes across as more of an attacking mid to me

I agree about Khedira though, or Gianelli Imbula is another possibility.

Pogba.
