Maupay would be absolutely fantastic but could we fit both him and Wesley in the same starting 11?

I'm basing Astin/Gayle on being bench warmers.  We have so many other positions to fill that 2 £20million+ strikers may be a bridge too far in this window.

Two £20 million + strikers seems fine to me. We've loads of money. Who cares?

Maupay might not go for us if has an offer from Sevilla.

Surely we can offer better wages, just not the European football, yet!  Didn't he also say that he would like to play for Dean Smith again?

I think he also said that his preference is the PL.

Austin and Gayle both turn 30 this year it's a no from me. Still think we will go for Maupay.

Austin's injury record is not great, so I would be very sceptical about him.  I think Gayle or someone like him would be a decent enough short-term signing to be honest and would provide back up to Wesley. 

Although he is 30 this year, Gayle's value shouldn't diminish too much in the couple of years we would hopefully only need them for.

Taking off the C&B specs, I can see why Seville on £2.9m per year trumps, say, Newcastle on £3.4m per year.

I'd put them back on if I were you.  IF his preference is the Pl then it's not beyond the realms of probability to assume that IF a PL club came in for him, he would likely prefer that option.  He's 22, not 32.  He'll have plenty of time for the sun later on in life.

Nevertheless it is rather nice to be competing with clubs like Sevilla on transfers.

Speaking of Spain I wonder if it might be worth trying to loan Martin Odegaard from Real. Did well at Vitesse according to a video I just watched and I think that's all the scouting report needed, frankly.

A fit Charlie Austin can be a handful for most Premier League defenders...but the 2 very big caveats are that he is actually fit and given the right kind of service. He could be worth a punt but unfortunately his injury record does make him a risk.

I hope our days of picking up players on their final paycheque are gone - too risky for Austin for me.
