No King in the Bormuff squad, no Buendia in the Norwich squad, No Benrahma in the Brentford squad and apparently Eduoard was an unused sub for Celtic today and they used all five subs.  No Rashica in the Bremen squad either.  Which one of this little lot is Villa bound? 

I'll be greedy and take Eduoard and Rashica please.

I was thinking exactly the same and wouldn't be in the slightest bit surprised if this came off, if we can shift a few too. I wonder if Buendia and Benrahma are plan B and C for Rashica. King and Brewster are plan B and C for Eduoard.

I would be suprised if it did come off to be honest but would be probably more excited than I've been for any other season since I was a kid.

I think that in some ways Brewster would make more sense than Eduoard in that he might be less demanding in the amount of first team starts and so an obvious first back-up to Watkins. But there's just something about Eduoard that makes me think he could be a real star for us, not based on anything other than a feeling.

Yeah,  I reckon Eduoard has been plan a all the way through.  Be great to have players further forward who can interchange and keep the opposition guessing.

Benrahma seems to be heading to Palace.

I'd like to see us sign Tuanzebe. He can cover CB, RB (I know we are well stocked) and DCM.

Particularly if Engels is heading for the exit and with Lindelof and Maguire both bang average but getting picked, Tuanzebe is not even on the bench for Yanited, which I can't imagine he is enjoying.

I believe Tuanzebe is injured or is just getting back to fitness. I think he'd be a good signing but his injury record would be a concern.

Isn’t he always injured while he’s with them? A bit like RHM was always injured with us.

Edouard and a CMF - L-Cheek perhaps- would be amazing.

My concern is how we're getting shot of the dead weight - Lansbury, particularly, may be hard to move, but we also need shot of Jota and 2 keepers.

I'm not in the Alkmaar squad...

Are you not heading to Nijmegen?

Barge to Waregem, ordinary to Enschede, hydrofoil to Malmo
And the last bus to your heart

Saido Berahino took a barge to Waregem*

*he now plays for Zulte Waregem in Belgian mid-table obscurity.

Tuanzebe has probably thrown his career away because he couldn't get over his ego that he was never going to break into the United side and needed to move away to get regular first team football.

That's a weird perspective.

He had a good season on loan and then his parent club said he ha a important future with them.

He's waited for a chance there.

Tuanzebe gets better the more time he's injured/benched which seems to be all the time. I'd rather Engels was bjorn again and given a second chance.
