we really cant afford to have top quality replacements although obviously we would like that, RB, Wilf replacement, And try to out Edouard, maybe a swap with someone half decent up front, i would be happy with that, although the more the merrier.

I'd like to see Edouard play if he recovers his confidence.

I know, he has had fair chance. But there must still be that player somewhere in there who was scoring for fun at celtic??

For once we need to use the Loan system properly, 4 available, no point in loaning anyone who isnt a automatic choice, unless it is a loan to buy option, this could be a bridging year to see how the younger players are progressing, i think Chelsea will have a few options available, and whoever is relegated, not us

Loans are dead money, some can cost an absolute packet, I'm not surprised we don't always use our quota

No they aren't if used correctly. There are huge bonuses available for each place up the table we finish so where would we have finished last season and how much money would we have lost without Conor Gallagher's contribution

Probably out of our reach, but Arsenal are apparently willing to listen to offers for Folarin Balogun. He's quick, two footed and has had a great season in France.

Certainly fleet of foot and I have heard him being praised for his movement. I have also heard someone opining that Balogun is a natural finisher.

He has scored 18 goals for Reims this season.

Sounds like a shout with no idea as to his availability.

 


Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

I read that Pukki is out of contract at Norwich in June.

He scored goals when in the PL so if he's going cheap could be the finisher we are lacking.

Otherwise Viktor Gyorkeres at 24 and a Swedish international looks promising but will command a substantial fee. Pretty certain if we don't get him he will be in the PL soon.

He has scored nearly 90 goals for Norwich over 5 seasons.
I had heard that when Norwich were looking to acquire his services the only other interest was from a Greek club.

He has turned 33 so he will not be of interest to us.

You beat me to it, Willo. In any event he is somewhat past his best in any case. His minutes per goal record this year in the Championship is worse than Edouard's (276 v 263).

If forest goes down I think Neco Williams would be good for us

Nottm Forest paid £17 Mill for his services.
He is of course a right-back by trade but I have seen him deployed at left-back by Liverpool.

Almost more important that we retain the services of our core - Guehi, Anderson, Doucoure, Eze and Olise. These guys are mustard and our future. Can easily see Newcastle/Spurs coming in for any of them - hard to deny the players at that point.

From there, if we can upgrade our full backs, add one more box to box midfielder and a decent striker, we'll be away laughing.

The essential is a manager. Roy will finish at the end of the season. Getting his replacement sooner (June / July) rather than later (August / September) will depend on whether we win three of the next four or not.

It could be a game of two halves like at Leeds. Desperate defence against all out Southampton attack, then the longer they don't score, the more chances we get?

This guy could provide a cheaper alternative either to AWB or Williams, but won't be PL ready?

Very exciting player. Attacking wingback. Just what we need
