"Make mine a double" - I can see the headlines on the OS now... 😂

[Dman]

I can already see it coming...

"We tried really hard, but its a challenging window, especially when clubs know you have xx million to spend, following the sales of key players. We're a strong beliver of breading success, not buying it and Russell and the coaching staff are really happy with the strength and size of the squad"

1 week before the window closes with no signings.

Then  a well trumpeted last minute scramble for an unrealistic target .. who drops out on the last day.

Early next week, I hope we’ve been eyeing up a decent Bosman or two. Heck I’d take Redmond back for a Championship season.

Not sure how up to date transfermrkt is with it's contract expiry dates, but a few ones we could take a look at:

Lanzini

Roberto Pereyra

Lucas Moura (very ambitious I know but he's 30 and heard nothing of him for a couple of years)

Alfredo Morelos (prick but I bet he'd bully the championship).

Jesse Lingaard.

Jonny Evans (35 now but a level down might have something to offer)

He wouldn't come back and rightly so, he's too good for us

Evans is the only one who's even slightly realistic and even he's unlikely. The rest are just delusional.

I'm going with:

Wilcox spearheading a new influx of city youth talent.

Double loan swoop for 

Borges and Palmer

Lanzini, Pereyra and Lingaard are all in their 30s now. Lingaard in particular just struggled to make an impact at Notts Forest. 

The only one that's beyond realistic is Moura, and as I said he's done almost nothing for a couple of years now and is also in his 30s.
