We're still breaking even or thereabouts. The bigger issue is going to be moving players on to make space for new one's.
I wonder what sort of pay package we are offering these 19/20 year olds, has to be a nice pay rise over France and Spain..

The main reason is we have 4m people within a 15 minute drive of the biggest team around and as yet, we haven't capitalised on it.

As Woodhall said the other day, the reason clubs like Leicester or Stoke play us down is because they know that, if we showed even the slightest sign of properly getting our act together on a prolonged basis, we'd take away an awful lot of the floating support they get in their areas.

Keita Balde Diao latest to be linked.

Who's being described as a bigger coup than Traore, were it come off.

Another African. We certainly have cast our net wide..

He looks a decent player too. If we did sign him and Traore, then at least we would not be in for Townsend and Lennon!

It would give us Traore, Sinclair, Keita and Gabby for the wide roles, Ayew, Gestede, Kozak down the middle and Gil, Grealish and possibly Veretout for the number 10. That is a decent set of options for 4 positions, and a set that given their ages could look as scary as anything in the division inside 2 years development.

There's still bits and pieces about Praet. This summer's been crazy but I think everyone knew it was needed after the cup final.

We cant sign them all but 2 from Diao, Praet, Townsend and Traore would be great.
 I think to sign all 4 we would be looking to sell Cole, Gabby, NZog and Kozak, and probably only playing 1 conventional centre forward permanently.

Fenerbache
Besiktas
Galatasaray
Trabzonspor
The team that is something like Ay...spor
Gencerbigli

I'm feeling like I'm missing another well known team.
