It doesn't make much sense to go above about £15m for any EFL player unless they are absolutely exceptional stand-out players like Grealish, because there has to be better value elsewhere in Europe or South America.  Maybe Phillips falls into that stand-out category, I don't know enough about him to say.  I can't say I'd heard of or noticed him until he became a transfer target, but then I don't take a great interest in other team's players.  Same goes for Benrahma and Webster, although I was well aware of Lolley's abilities.

Think issue with me we go big and get Webster, we surely have to get Mings back otherwise they'll be a revolt outside the ground first home game.

So those would be two starting CBs and then you have Hause and fitness permitting Chester as back ups. Wouldn't be hugely confident in that keeping premier league strikers at bay.

Some French journalists are saying we have serious interest in Baptiste Santamaria, highly rated DM .

According to the E and S a bid going in for Matt Targett. Targett targeted then!

I hope so.

The ****** with the funny hair, as I called him at Elland Road, is a very good player.

Very good indeed. Will be worth a lot more than £25M in a few years time I reckon.

Sign them all. Mings, Targett, Kongolo, Santamaria, Rongier. Lot of outlay but there seems to be much better value in there than splurging £30m on one Championship midfielder who doesn't want to come anyway.

I think a lot of the domestic or English player links are smokescreens to work being done to bring players in from the continent. No doubt we will bring some British based players in; but Suso is no doubt working his Spanish contacts to bring in some technically gifted players.

I'm not sure why they'd bother with smokescreens?

And that's why you keep getting charged with exposing yourself.
