Good, if wildly overpriced, signing. That's about his level though.

I'm not a big fan of Sturridge, but if we've been offered him on loan and said no, that's quite criminal.

Unreal trio, will be hard to break through their already solid defence but it also puts a lot of pressure on their wingers to create things.

forgot to mention dier as well

Sissoko is very different though - he and Dembele both offer some attacking penetration while still keeping them physically strong. Looks like Poch knows quite clearly what he wants from his players in terms of attributes.
