Finally the Irons have signed someone and it's a good start. Alphonse Areola looked a fine goalkeeper with Fulham last season and although the Cottagers went down, defensively they looked sound and Areola was their player of the year. He's on loan from PSG for a season with an option to buy, so it could be he solves the problem of who will replace the 36-year-old Lucasz Fabianski. He's not quite the World Cup winner that the WHU website claims, though he was in the French World Cup winning squad as understudy to Lloris and has made 75 appearances for PSG. Having two quality goalkeepers competing for the number one spot and Darren Randolph in reserve should see us well off in the keeping department.
Meanwhile the latest rumour is that Moyes is after Chelsea's Kurt Zouma, although a £20m offer surely won't get him. But another quality player with good experience on loan at Stoke and Everton. Czech midfielder Alex Kral is another possibility. Hopefully we'll get three or four in before the window closes.
