I'd like Michy Batshuayi, seems to score goals but never gets a decent run at Chelski.

Players of the quality of Young and Carew, circa 2007, to come in please.

I think we could let Chester and Kodjia go on frees with their contracts running out in the summer. The long forgotten Croatian keeper surely could go out on loan.

Mitrovic? Fuck no. He did nothing at Premier League level last year. We should be targeting far better than him.

Agreed.

Absolutely!

It's a risk because he's coming from a very different league but I really like the look of Cristian Pavon (he's been at LA Galaxy recently but is on loan from Boca Juniors). Quick, good cross, fantastic taking on his man and a decent finisher. 3 goals and 6 assists in 11 games for Galaxy and Zlatan has said he's far too good for that league. Was linked with Arsenal and Everton (amongst others) in the summer and wouldn't be too expensive in this window. I reckon he's a £60-70m player after a year or 2 in the league.

I agree, did o.k at Palace on loan when he moved there last January so he's not some impossible to sign player. That said he does seem to be playing a bit for Chelsea recently.

The striker below him in the pecking order is Giroud, that would be a bit of a coup to tempt him here as I imagine plenty of teams playing in europe would be interested.

Giroud would be perfect for Wes to learn from. He also isn’t coming to us for the last bit of his career. He’ll have options to play at CL level even if it isn’t for a top club in Europe.

Ideally we get in someone who is quick and makes great runs into space. We don’t have enough of that now. We are way too predictable up front.

Just put out a statement of intent and sign Erling Braut Haland.

He'll end up at Leipzig

 Michy Batshuayi Would be an interesting one.

But Mitrovic? Jesus no!

I wouldn't mind us taking a punt on Bradley Dack. 38 goals in 99 games for Blackburn since he signed for them in 2017. Bearing in mind Blackburn are not the most attacking team in the Championship.

He's a good player, but they were talking about a £18m-20m price tag in the summer. I think we can get better value than that.

There is no way he will go for that money. Blackburn aren't flush with cash and five million would get him.

Batshuayi would be great but he is in his prime at 26 and has scored 86 goals in 235 games in Belgium, France, Germany and England. Even if he is in any way available he would cost a fortune and sought after by a number of clubs. If we could pull a deal off  for him that would be a real coup.

Albion allegedly bid £15m for him last year and were turned down.
