The money quoted for players is indeed obscene, but those who have done well in the PL aren’t going to get cheaper any time soon.

Seems we have a "keen" interest in Zimbabwean international Tino Kadewere. He plays as striker for Zimbabwe and Le Have. Newcastle are also keen and Norwich and Spurs are  "interested". BBC so might have legs?

Yes, those will probably get more expensive as well.

The BBC Gossip page. So only quoting a somewhat iffy source.

A player on loan at Brighton from Huddersfield is Aaron Mooy, wouldn't mind if we tried to sign him but he probably has an agreement with Brighton. Decent player who completely outplayed our midfield in the home game before he got a red card.

Rondon would fit into our style of play very well imo, surprised we're not asking the Chinese club he's at what they'd want.

Was available for 16.5m in the summer and miles better than Wes.

Watkins would be a very good 2nd-priority signing, but we still need a lead striker.

Also, haven't the Chinese regulations changed and the effect has been to reduce foreign players' wages? I think I read something to that effect about Fellaini (who could also do a job for us).

Still being linked with Vida, rumour we are  close to agreeing a deal.

Fellaini is exactly what we need, but can't see that happening. Aggressive, full of running and a handful.

We need to be looking in leagues closer to the standard we are in this window. No punts from Belgium or lower division Spanish and French leagues. Players in Italy, Germany or England top flight sides are what is required.
