If Cocu comes in I suspect we're looking at a serious warchest and a real tilt at automatic promotion.  No doubt that loanees will feature in the plans, but I can see a healthy amount for a couple of decent signings too.

First player I'm betting he looks at either way is van Ginkel - still owned by Chelsea, but played under Cocu at PSV in 2 loan spells (would have been 3 but for injury), great scoring record from midfield and was his captain despite only being a loanee.  Box to box midfielder who should be able to tear up this division.  Genuinely excited! 

Agree with your points, although I have my doubts over how much he'll be given to spend. 

Assuming he tries to sign 5/6 players based on our current squad:

Van Ginkel would be a decent midfield shout, wouldn't cost much being a loan and brings the Lampard to Chelsea deal full circle. 

Narsingh: didn't light up the league with Swansea but was a very good player under Cocu, can see that being one of the first calls he makes. Free agent too. 

Jeffrey Bruma: CB signed for big money (£10 mill) by Wolfsburg, fell out of favour and signed for schalke on loan. Transfermarkt has him valued at £2.25 million, wouldn't imagine he'd break the bank. Good age too at 27.

Bound to have some knowledge of lower level players back in Holland too. This mixed with the existing targets identified by the club we'll unlikely spend more than £15 mill. Probably £5 Mill of that coming from the Lampard deal. 

Very outside possibility too: Locadia at Brighton played under Cocu. We'd have to break our transfer record for him but he fell out of favour last season. New boss might like him but they're already making attacking big money signings this summer so he may be surplus.

Don't forget that Brighton keep being linked with Bogle - don't realy want him to go, but if it provides the funds we need.....
