Colwill CHO Josh Brownhill Cameron Archer Dembele

I'm just spitballing mate, but I'd definitely prefer Archer based on what I've seen of both players. I suppose Archer would be a lot tougher to get.

Aston Villa looking for another striker. Really like the look of Cameron Archer, think he could be another Danny Ings - wonder if they'd be tempted with £15m + add-ons to help in that search? He'd be filling the 'Delap' vacancy, still think we need a big addition alongside that.

Armstrong scores - presumably only because the ball went nowhere near his foot, which seems to have the world's strongest forcefield

Think his wages would probably have been too much for us anyway... especially with WHU / Napoli interested. He'd have probably been worth the £30m IMO - it really isn't much in the grand scheme of things. Sesko or Kalajdzic plus Delap, please 🤞

The very same - that makes him a bad signing?

Already very jealous of their defence - probably the best outside the top six. Collins is a very good signing.

Sell him, spend half on Colwill and half on a new striker.

Feels like a big week in the window for all the cogs to start moving. Hopefully Leeds getting paid will give us the kick up the arse we need.

I think there's an element of fitness in it as well surely. We saw Tino and Broja last season looking injured or otherwise hopeless in the second half of the season. You can't expect 18-21 year old kids to play twice a week all season.

It's giving monkey chicken petting zoo vibes

The lack of actual quality in our squad is worrying. Who in our team could you say right now is a solid top ten player? I would only say JWP and KWP - we've flogged the rest. Other sides are making moves / getting ready to sell their quality players so will have big money to spend. I wonder if they'll be looking at the bargain bin of 18-22 year olds - I think not.

Surely all the potential benefits go down the tubes if we get relegated like all these other shite European teams we're buying. Time to focus on number one

Fair enough. Personally I think around £10m was a lot to pay at the time for someone who would be stuck behind a right-back but for Livramento's injury.

On their respective best days: 1. Forster 2. Boruc 3. McCarthy 4. Stekelenburg 5. Davis 6. Gunn =7. Gazzaniga and Caballero

Has Perraud been a "very good signing"? 🤨

I'd be testing Villa's patience with a move for Buendia

He'd be an upgrade on our best 10 in Stuart Armstrong but having them both in the same side would be like pulling teeth. Don't think he's the best suited player to Ralph's 4-2-2-2 tbh. Obviously in an ideal world he finally finds a plan B but I can't see that happening. Can see him rotting on the bench at Tottenham or Man U for his final years.

Looks like more bargain bin bollocks to me, Kevin Danso 2.0

Think a loan would be a real masterstroke, protects us against a potential serious injury and gets us a 10-goal striker stopgap. £5m loan fee might prick up a few ears.

Terrible source but it's definitely worth trying to pull their pants down on a season-long loan, or at the very most matching his current contract.

Absolutely fucking ridiculous

Bialkowski vs Blackpool, Lemina in the FA Cup vs Chelsea both stick in the mind. McCarthy vs Norwich last season should have been his swansong in the at least the top two divisions of professional football, but here we are 😅

His goal against Chelsea was a bit of quality you would likely only have seen from Ingsy as well at the time. I wouldn't be entirely against it but it would be underwhelming if he was first choice. Loan to buy - £2m with an £8m obligation, spreads the fee nicely.

He is just way too slow and weak, for me - and I think he knows it. Always seems to be turning back when at least with Redmond you'd see him trying to get down the line or come inside at least 50% of the time.
