I do like Bowen as I say but I reckon he’d be too much and not worth it if he isn’t a guaranteed starter
Would West Ham actually sell us Bowen? Their fans would go insane.
No thanks....Lamptey is too injury prone and at 50 mill is a waste of moneyMight be a gopd time to sign Lamptey. His stock has dropped second half of the season so doubt they would be wanting anywhere near the figures that were quoted before.
Thing is, they will probably be losing Bissouma and Cucurella so won't exactly be needing the £££.
Any good?We need to go after Laturo Martinez. He already knows the system.
Only Tottenham could have £150m additional investment announced on the same day Fraser Forster is having a medical.
I'd be laughing my tits off if we took their best players off them like we did with Carrick, Defoe, Kanoute.All the more reason to do it. Establish our authority in London.
Watched Cornet a fair bit in the first half of the season and he looked, head and shoulders, the best of a bad bunch.Darren Lewis is decent with us no?
He has linked us to Kostic & Cornet
he doesn't want to stay in Spain does he. We all know he wants to be closer to Wales. I could see him go somewhere else other than the UK but only if the money was too good to turn down.If this rum9or is true I have a feeling that Bale just wanted to get back at Real Madrid - both the club and its fans...

Atletico Madrid have turned down the chance to sign Gareth Bale on a free transfer this summer, according to reports in Spain.
The 32-year-old Welshman is set to leave city rivals Real Madrid after a topsy-turvy nine-year stint with the club.
And Spanish radio station Cadena COPE claim the former Tottenham star's services were offered to Atletico Madrid in a meeting between his agents and the Spanish club's sporting director Andrea Berta.
However, the report claims the club's technical director told his representatives - led by the executive chairman of ICM Stellar Sports Jonathan Barnett - that while they appreciated the offer, they did not see him as part of their plans.
It comes with the same outlet adding Bale would like to stay in Madrid if possible, especially because his family appear settled, given that they remained in the Spanish capital during his loan spell back at Spurs in the 2020-21 season.
However, speaking last week, Barnett hinted a decision on Bale's future will depend on whether Wales make their first World Cup for 64 years.
'He leaves Real Madrid, but it all depends on whether Wales qualify, then we will make a decision,' Barnett told Portuguese newspaper Record.
'Is it more likely to return to England? I think so, but we'll have to wait and see if Wales qualify for the World Cup.'
Wales boss Robert Page has named skipper Bale in a 27-man squad for the World Cup play-off final against Scotland or Ukraine in Cardiff on June 5.
The Welshman however will go into the Scotland play-off without much match practice under his belt.
Bale has made just two cameo substitute appearances for Real Madrid since scoring both goals in Wales' 2-1 World Cup play-off victory over Austria on March 24.
The 32-year-old had been absent from Real's last six matchday squads with a back problem.
He trained prior to Madrid's final league game of the season but then complained of the same issue, robbing him of the chance to bid farewell to the home crowd at the Santiago Bernabeu, with whom he has shared a fractious relationship over the years.
It now remains to be seen whether he will be available for Real's Champions League final date with Liverpool on Saturday in Paris.
He is very good, better than the likes of Werner, Ivan Toney etc. but waaaay off someone like Kane.

Can’t see him staying with Burnley in the Championship but I wonder, given their investment, if they loan him to a Prem team and see if they can bounce right back.
Moist, very moist...I'm now going to be that guy. I did tell you all this maybe a full month ago. That there had already been a big injection of cash. I thought it might be naming but it was certainly real. Came on here and had a chat might have been withCollyQC Oh and here is my other and only ITK we are close on a real upgrade already first team improving. Got told it was done if we made ECL, it might be Bastoni but it could also be SMS. Definitely from the Italian end, that's how I heard it
IMO, as far the Conte system is concerned, being able to score is like half the job of the wingback. Fancy passing, physical strength etc are great but the number of chances squandered by Regui and Emerson could have seen us comfortably finish third.
That's why I don't think it's far fetched, he is at least the same left as Moses was and like him was a forwardIMO, as far the Conte system is concerned, being able to score is like half the job of the wingback.

Dont even think about stadium naming rights .... ker ching ...This + player sales + CL money
This is big.
200m spend incoming.
Would he play on the left or right? IIRC he played on the left side for Burnley.That's why I don't think it's far fetched, he is at least the same left as Moses was and like him was a forward
