We surely must be looking at Marcus Edwards.

It's Roma i think we could do business with. They are a centre back short IMO and Soule is barely getting a sniff.

Can't see Juve needing a CB (Okoli) as they just got Veiga from Chelsea. Not sure what other players we'd be willing to loan that they'd want. Funnily enough they have Milik kicking about not doing much who we were repeatedly linked with 5-10 years ago. Torino, it's a shame Per Schuurs is injured as he's another we've been after before, also the Dutch connection with Ruud. They do need Okoli potentially but can't see what they'd have to offer us that they'd be willing to let go.

Ticks the had a ligament injury before box as well that we absolutely love.

Not one to pass up the opportunity for criticism but we aren't very innovative at networking in markets that might benefit us. We sold Musa to Saudi before it was a money pit and since then zilch.

Hahahahahahahahaaa

Good player, one who's been touted about for years and has had a steady start to his career that still means he's attainable.

Hahahahahaaa

What's his pressing like? I might be way off but he strikes me more of a Iheanacho type striker than a complete 9 who plays up top on his own and can lead the press, hold the ball up, attack crosses etc. Iheanacho had parts of what was required for that role but didn't press and usually fared better with a striker alongside him. We never seem to get this mandate right.

He's another Ayew in that regard.

I'd play Stolarczyk on the wing

We thankfully missed out on Jonathan Ikone

Okoli

Yeah agreed.

I don't believe that, at the very least we've the Cannon profit which equates to a £15-20m transfer on a 5 year deal. I also think there's a likelihood we need to sell in June regardless so the call is how much are they willing to spend in order to try and stay up and what needs to be raised in June.

It's very miss. But even if it wasn't, it's the profile of player that concerns me. We simply have to move away from that and look for players below £10m/£15m at a push and look to develop and cash in. Likewise have the academy development as a main priority. Glover's mandate at other clubs might differ to now but there's a concerning pattern to me. We need a change in ethos above him but then would expect a head of recruitment with a history of being successful in the markets I mention.

Can't stop looking at this list. An astonishing lack of value for money high risk high reward signings from Scandinavia, Japan, South America etc. I thought perhaps it's just our strategy (albeit we got Hermansen) but Glovers been the same at other clubs as well. This has got to be a priority of ours as we try and right the wrongs of our mistakes and our current financial constraints. If the club do consider changes to the likes of Rudkin, I hope Glover goes as well.

Sell in June, likely will do anyway.

Walle Egeli should be high on our priority list. Suggested him a couple of weeks ago.

Played his teams 14 times, we've won 4, drew 4 and lost 6. Given we were superior to his sides for the majority of that time it isn't a great record you're right.

Inevitable a big club were going to take him first, class above a lot of promising young talents that come through. I imagine the Odegaard factor is at play here too.

Probably end up with Ryan Kent

Not his comments but his agents. The quotes that came direct from the player backed up what was reported by Percy and that he spoke with Cooper and LCFC several times and we were desperate to land him but think he was swayed by the lure of Roma. Things might be different now, especially if once again we make it clear how much we want to build our team around him. Facundo isn't ours.

£6m would be £1.25m on PSR for 24/25 which is less than a quarter the boost we've got from selling Cannon. I'd have liked to see us get both Kone and Aasgaard (gone for £3m) as they cost absolutely nothing on PSR and if we go down we've got two players we'd see as perfect signings in the wake of potential transfer embargo.

Soule on loan
