Wonder what sort of fee? £10-£12m + addons?

The only player I can think of recently where that has worked is Lookman and we still managed to bollocks that one up.

He's not good enough or proven enough to warrant 100k per week. Move on You could get two midfielders from abroad (not sure who) for those wages and stick them on £50k a piece

It must be Cooper that is pushing for this deal, he’s worked with him previously and is the one selling the dream to the board that we need seasoned Premier League pro’s to stand any chance of staying up. they should be focusing all efforts on signing creative, progressive, ball carriers in midfield (O’Riley as an example) not more wide forwards. the way we are going we’ll have a low block defensive line, that when we break are relying on Winks, Soumaré and N’didi to carry the ball and find the creative wide men - there’s more creativity in a house brick than that trio of midfielders (don’t try and convince me that Wilf is a Prem level number 8 as he’s not) good grief I need to chill out 😆

I get your point, but we’ve signed BDR to tick that box, do we really need another similar player at 32yrs old? If things don’t work out we’ll likely have BDR, Vestergaard, potentially Ayew all on high wages, 3 yr contracts, back in the Championship - surely it’s better to try and go for younger, hungry players who at least have something to prove.

Meanwhile Bournemouth have just signed a highly rated and young Spanish defender from Juventus…exactly the type of signing we should be making instead we’re in for journeymen

This is an utter disgrace if true. Let's hand out 3yr contracts to 32yr olds looking for a final pay day.

In good company

Whether it’s this guy or someone else we desperately need incomings this week. The thought of starting the season with Winks, Bouba and Wilf makes me shiver with fear. thankfully, it appears SC knows this himself based on his recent comments

He’d fit right in then Ric!

Awful isn’t it…I’d have expected those links if we’d just been relegated down to the Champ

Wow. Bobby DR at 31 and then Ayew 32…how far do we want to drift away from that previous successful model of recruiting young, hungry players with high potential… Albeit the source is Nixon

We need players in this week in order to integrate in time for the opener. We desperately need a decent start to the season to get the fan base on side and help mitigate any pending points deductions. Over to you JR…

We desperately need a Raul Jimenez type striker in this system (when he was on fire at Wolves). Someone who scores all types of goals, can link up play and makes intelligent runs. Anyone know one? Anyone?

That’s a ‘give it to the wide men as quickly as possible and hope they can create something’ midfield trio

Souttar loan must be close as not even in the squad

This gives me Morgan Gibbs-White to Forest vibes. Wolves fans questioned his ability and output and weren’t bothered when he made the move. He then linked up with Cooper, who got the best out of him, with his output drastically improving

This was just a rehash of Nico Gonzalez from 2 seasons ago. Close the thread

McAteer and Wanya need season long loans - they aren’t epl ready by a long shot

Pacey, versatile, and can carry the ball at speed - could be a useful addition. probably suffered from the fact Arsenal have really pushed on to an elite status under Arteta so had limited game time

We don’t know for a fact that this is the case, there’s numerous Italian journos with a foot in the Italian clubs camps reporting loads of conflicting views Percy is credible and doubt he would risk his rep so the optimist in me thinks there’s a chance this could happen next week

Percy at the back post!

I think not happening now right. Player wants Roma

Di Marzio reporting that Roma have agreed a deal with Soule, the battle of the ITK’s 😆
