Palace will be down their Doucoure - that's a huge miss for them as he's their midfield lynchpin. Play front foot football ? and we could really bother them centrally. Also the hope is Olise doesn't start - tends not to in away matches. He's a major talent

Villa have a cracking squad really - especially when their injured signings return. No money to spend the only issue.

If this is anything more than a one year contract on a low wage, it'll be yet one more disaster for our crack team of negotiators and scouts.

Definitely. Class act all over.

Pretty much agreed. He would fit in at lots of top teams - don't think that the Brazil CF who will score lots of goals schtick is his selling point. Tougher sell of course when the end product is not outstanding - can see him being great in a Conte side and not surprised of the interest from Conte.

A well run club would have several targets identified well in advance which fit in both an overall transfer strategy and clear pattern of play and development. A poorly run club will wait and see what is on the market and then just sign players who happen to be available and are subject to...

He could do a job in lots of places. But the truth is his goal record from open play is very ho hum and he is likely a rotation option at most Champions League clubs on output. Guts is what gets him in the team but they don't usually pay 50 mill for that.

He was leaving anyway actually.

And what do you think the budget is for that lot?

Eh? Are you saying Cornet relegated Burnley? He had a better scoring record than Richy last season when you strip out penalty padding and he also comfortably outperformed XG. He did all that in the most negative side in the division on limited minutes as well. Add in the fact that he is a...

Had read Cornet had a 17.5 relegation release clause. Part of the draw with him is that he has real chops as a wingback and has only recently been converted to a forward position. Really exciting talent. Watched a fair bit of Burnley one way or another and he looked electric for the most part.

Yes to most of that. Have a sinking feeling about Tark but that sadly seems a done deal and rate Cornet a long way ahead of Dennis - could well come in cheaper too.

Guehi went last season for 20 and the market is much stronger this time around and no one else was in for Guehi much so think Colwill will likely be valued right up there. It's also very much a seller's market regarding Gallagher and I'd be surprised if he went for anything less than 40...

Gallagher and Colwill would be ideal. Downside to that is that we'd likely be committing to something near to deadline day moves. All the world is after a piece of one of them so we'd be paying premium price too.

Surely they are if only taking the new stadium into account - we're yet to hit that phase yet. And well buying All and even being interested in Winks says it all really.

Easy sell. Far from being sold on Tark but at least he's likely to show up.

Absolutely this. Thing is the young prospects market is getting increasingly competitive. We need to be able to show a plan to attract these types - the Lampard name and the off chance of some minutes is unlikely to cut it.

Actually not a bad footballer but not what we need. Could try to sell Alli and get him on loan of course :)

And it's just been 7 in each of the last two seasons when you strip out pens - no one is getting 70 mill excited about that. You're right he doesn't get the unknown quantity bonus. Probable back up territory for a top 6 side. Hold up for as much as poss but take something around 50 if we can...

:Blink: Bargain then. I hadn't realised he was the model of the modern centre half and ace at moving the ball out from the back and simply held back by Burnley
