Sturridge? The bloke who plays 4 times a season, gets paid a fortune and does that fucking stupid wavy arm dance if he scores. No ta.

I don’t see the comparison Bent and Tammy, completely different players.
I am not convinced that Tammy is god enough for the Prem but too young to write off.
I would trust Delano to get this right though.

Percy suggesting we have opened talks with Bournemouth over Mings in a deal worth up to £15m.

We don’t want to be looking at (and I’m sure we won’t) anyone else’s damaged goods. Those days are gone. Thankfully!

Agreed. #getitdone! Hause and El Ghazi too.

Mings, Hause and I would sign Cahill as the experienced head in the back 4, plus you could then comfortably play a back 3 if you wanted to. Chester would obviously be the 4th centre half if fully fit.

Tammy will be a brilliant striker in the premier league in 3-4 seasons, he is going to start filling out a bit and getting stronger to match his frame, when he will become scary good in time, but next season we need someone that will hold the ball up better and get 12-15 goals too. If we could afford Tammy too, great, but we need 2 strikers this summer and to allow Davis out for a full season of football somewhere he can get his eye in.

There are a few strikers who've looked great in the championship but have never really cut the mustard at PL level for one reason or another.  Grabban and Gayle for example.  Nahki Wells looked the bollox a couple of seasons ago.  You could even chuck in the likes of Gestede and Bamford who have had decent seasons in the Championship.  I fear Tammy may be that kind of level,  too good for level 2, not quite good enough for top level.  Good penalty box finisher but first touch is poor and misses a fair few sitters.

The Sun (I know) reckon we're in for Maupay at a club record £20m. Hope this is true - he's a top class finisher who Deano signed for Brentford.

Agree about signing Mings and permanently and would try get Tuanzebe back if possible even if it was on loan for another season.  Think those four would be fine options at CB for the coming season.

I think the areas where we need real quality buys are LB, DCM, ST and wide forwards.  Would sign El Ghazi and try and get Abraham back on loan, but don’t think either would be regular starters.  Don’t think Adomah or Green are going to be good enough and will need replacing, but Kodjia might get his finger out now he has a chance in the top flight and might be worth keeping for a season as a squad option.

Kodjia will be moved on, think Davis will be more of the plan B/C option off the bench. If he can stop picking up injuries I'm interested in how he develops.

Kid can't hit a barn door though. He needs to go somewhere that he literally gets spoonfed chances to learn how to finish.

Davis needs to improve the quality and frequency of his shooting alright, but he has had some bad luck with deflections and saves. One or two of his shots have led to goals by others.

He is brilliant at holding it up, though. Mr Reliable. I'd say with hindsight he'd have been more use than Tammy Abraham in the PO final.
