Let’s hope Ivory Coast go all the way, Kodjia bags a hatful and we can demand whatever we want. I’m still giggling at his dab at the Albion semi as Brunt went off the pitch.

If he does that some new found confidence might be more useful for us. Anybody of even occasional PL quality i'd the loathed to see leave with our current squad.

I'd keep him if he's happy to be cover from the bench and the odd start, we have loads of work to do this summer so anyone who stands a chance of being a decent squad option in the premier league should be kept if we can. It means losing out on a few million quid, which is a shame, but we'd never get worthwhile replacement with the money we get for him so that's a false economy.

I'm with you on this.

I'd keep him as we won't get much anyway. If he gets back to his old self he might earn himself a new contract. If he doesn't, then he'll leave next summer with my best wishes.

We still need another forward, not counting Wesley, regardless.

In his prime, was not good enough for the PL. and he is nowhere near his prime.

He can be exciting to watch when he’s up for it but very inconsistent too. Take the money and run where Jimmy Danger is concerned. Use him in a swap if possible. When he’s playing, it’s a case of hope, rather than expectation.

You can't keep offloading players! The squad is already wafer thin as it is. We always seem to offload without adequate replacements lined up - look where that got Bruce at the end of the August window! No defensive cover.

I'd take Hernandez from west ham to be fair for a nominal fee. Has energy for days and I've always liked him. To bridge the gap for a season or  2 until we can afford to spunk loads on a world class striker

I think he's on a big whack at West Ham. My brother's a season ticket holder and wants rid of him, I hope we can do better.

I would prefer us to do better but I dont think we can afford it!
I would be amazed if the lb we need isn't around the 15mil mark, the cdm or 2 a combined 30-40 million ish mark a winger around the 20 mil mark and another striker around the 20 million mark.

I just cant see us spending another 95 million and that doesn't include minges or a keeper. So I think we will get 2 maybe 3 smart price options in and replace them next year so I expect us to be shopping for a a cheap cdm another cheap winger and another cheap striker to supplement and I would rather have someone like Hernandez than Austin or long. Maybe we will go in for welbeck?

As the Burnley ditty goes No, Nay, Never.......no more dinosaurs just because they have "Premier League experience", all sounds very Stevie Bruce.

Are this the minges you mentioned?
