Hope it's true, would be harsh on Steer, but would be foolish to go into the new season with untried keepers in the top flight.

If it's true I think Butland is potentially a massive signing for us.  Clear upgrade (in my opinion) in a key position.  Premier League experience, international experience, young but not a rookie, sell on value.

[Toronto Villa]

I’d be delighted if Phillips is true. Boundless energy between him and McGinn.

[four fornicholl]

Wesley being signed without a hint of anyone hearing anything shows how little anyone is ITK. How anyone can claim to have insider knowledge and yet not have a clue about a record signing is beyond me.

Granted, but I don't think Wesleys mum works down the shops.

Any news on Kalvin Phillips?

The Mirror

I always chuckle when the reporter states that the club are "bracing" themselves for a bid.

That team? If we have few injuries and set up correctly, then yes that is a mid table team.

We need 6 or 7 first team squad players as we let that number go.

He needs to sort his barnet out.  It's awful.

Possibly the worst hair-don't in professional football.

[paul_e]

That team would be comfortable midtable and I think even if that's all the signings we'd have enough in the squad as emergency cover to get by through normal injuries.

[hilts_coolerking]

I'm not so sure.  I'd like to see more choices in all four wide positions.  Solid looking spine though.

Elmo, Taylor, Bree, Green, Jota and Kodjia is plenty of cover, I wouldn't trust any of them to play 20-25 games but 2-3 here and there and some subs appearances would be fine.

The weak area for me would be up front, I think Davis has something to offer but probably only as the 3rd choice and I'm not sure Kodjia could play up front in the premier league.

[cdbearsfan]

We need extra up front. Far too much pressure to expect the new guy to be playing 35+ games. Get Maupay in too and I'll be happy with our options at centre-forward.

I’m still hoping Jack is going to convince Tammy to come back when he realises he isn’t going to get a game at Chelsea
