You could make Danny Welbeck look like a sensation in a YouTube clip though.

Should we buy from the Championship. I’m sure we could have beaten Brentford to Toney and Watkins. We could have beaten Leicester to Madison and Palace to Eze. We buy and we get Rodon and Spence. So much for our scouting back then.

We were heavily linked with Eze, Bowen and Watkins, i believe they were recommended by Pleat but certainly with Watkins baulked at the price. If you're looking now it would probably be Summerville and Gray.
 
Whoever we buy, we must get a few home grown players through the door. How many are good enough? Gibbs- White and Eze should therefore be high on our wish list.
Eze, Olise, Gallagher, Gray.

Neither Toney or Solanke improve us sufficiently, same for Gibbs-White imo so its a fairly small pool . Otherwise again you're looking at squad fodder such as Walker-Peters, Challobah, Hudson-Odoi, Edwards.

We put in a bid for Toney from Peterborough but at the time he would have played second fiddle to Kane. He went to Brentford because he could promise minutes. The problem is you have to be able to offer players opportunity.
 
Really like Gibbs-White tbh.

Very underrated. Better numbers than Eze playing 8/10 and not injury prone. Smart and great technical skills
I'm a fan of Gibbs White as well tbh. In fact, i remember watching him play in a game against us years back at Molineux (think it was his debut?) and it was obvious then he would turn out to be a very good player.

Don't think he's better than Eze though although they're different type of players.
 
only seen him play a few times so not enough to judge but a CB that can play LB is exactly the type of CB we should be targetting (providing Romero stays).

We are not getting g a back up LB and RB so get a CB on that is comfortable on the left and focus on the back up rb (although activating the 6m clause on Cirkin should also be considered).
Mukiele can play RB, LB and CB. Lad has skills and attitude is top.

He wants away from PSG and would cost max 20 mil.

No brainer.
 
What type of player is Gallagher though? Would would he specifically add to our midfield that we don’t already have? Is he really going to improve it sufficiently?
From my watching of him, he appears a very hard working, box to box 8 that is quite limited technically and not very press resistant. Extremely similar in many ways to PEH, who we are desperate to be shot of.

And then throw in the fact he’s a boyhood Chelsea fan and their current captain, and going by sound bites from the media, he would much rather sign a new deal there than leave.

It just seems very strange to me that we are going for him in this way considering all the above.
Funny how Sol Campbell was abused - and worse - after joining our thundercunt neighbours.

But Gallagher would be welcome with open arms.

Double standards if I ever seen the stuff.
