Still suggests they've seen better value elsewhere. But as he's evidently up for £9m, it's a potential bargain.

Not against him, but he's unreliable. A loan move could work, but I'd hope we can get a fee agreed before the signing this time

Good point. Would rather have Chambers for defensive cover, unless we are successful with buying Martins Indi as a good CB addition

Puncheon. Loftus cheek won't be a regular starter, he'll get games but if wilshere signs on loan, he would start.

I've always had a soft spot for Wiltshire, I thought he'd develop into a great player and be an England regular. Unfortunately due to how prone he is to injuries I have to agree with you... I do think he'd be a good addition to the squad though.

Have to agree with this and I felt the same way in respect of Joniesta who was such a great prospect for Palace and Wales until he became so injury prone. We didn't call him that for nothing and maybe the Chairman had that in mind when giving him a new contract. If he can regain full fitness and then keep relatively injury free, I feel that he may well fit into FdB's style of play.

Watford payed 8 million for will Hughes, I think on his day, Wilshire is twice the player. Buy him and save the loan place for Sakho. Use wilshire and cabaye sparingly around a solid base of Luka and Loftis-Cheek.
